Magic the Gathering: the movie in developement

[Kramodlog]

Hasbro is trying to get more movie franchises out of their games.

20th Century Fox has closed a deal to acquire the screen rights to the hugely popular fantasy card game from Hasbro and will develop the property with an eye to launch a massive franchise on the scale ofHarry Potter and The Lord of the Rings.
The studio has enlisted Simon Kinberg, the Fox-based writer-producer who is also helping shepherd the X-Men and Fantastic Four universes at the studio, to produce the adaptation. Kinberg will also act as the franchise's engineer -- or supreme sorcerer, if you will -- overseeing the development of the movie series in concert with Hasbro execs.

Most of your quotes in these threads can't be read on the dark theme - they're blue on dark grey. Might be worth clearing the formatting when you post 'em.

I put them in blue cause I was told quotes can be read. I'll try a new color.

Does M:tG deserve a movie? No.

 

[Kramodlog]

And focused on which story? Gerrard? Urza? Nicole Bolas?

Maybe it'll be focused on whoever wins the championship this year. That'd be awesome. It makes sense since the characters or whatever are just summons.

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say no to that suggestion.
