[QUOTE="Black Orpheus, post: 1488344, member: 18553"] [b]Rifts Movie[/b] Just FYI... Rifts has a $100 million-plus budget. That's plenty. Disney and Bruckheimer are planning to make it a franchise if it works out well. Rumor has it they are trying to get Ridley Scott as director...but that's just a rumor. Also, at one point there was a brief synopsis of the plot on some sites, but it was quickly removed. "A disillusioned soldier tries to save a boy with psychic powers from an evil emperor." My guess is that it will be coalition heavy, with the Coalition as bad guys, but not cartoon bad guys. I'll lay good money that they use the old-style deadboy armor as well...it is just more cinematic-looking than the new stuff. They won't dodge the magic ball, if the soldier is a former soldier then that means he went against one of the cardinal CS rules, which is never to associate with D-bees or mages. That means there has to be some in the film. Knowing hollywood, I put my money on both: A hot mage chick and a scary (yet good at heart and teddybearish) D-bee. My guess is that any juicers you see will be evil (drugs are bad, mkay?) and that they will rely on Rifts unique alien races (D-bees) such as grackletooth and quick-flex. Also, you just can't have a film called Rifts without a Rift or Rifts playing a crucial plot point...non-RPG audiences just wouldn't get it. Rifts means monsters at some point in the film. Personally, I want to see a Glitterboy vs. Spiderskull walker battle. Just seems like it would look really cool on film. Also, Rifts has secured a place at E-3 this year for some special announcement. Since E-3 is all about videogames, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to add two and two together. [/QUOTE]
