GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Thursday, Aug 14, 2008

I honestly didn't think the game had grown this popular this fast - that or Wright's trying to make it popular...

Anyways, I see some potential for those who play the game to be broadcasted in it, in a way. If Maxis/Wright/whoever use the game players' own creatures - with permission that would likely be granted in an instant - that guarantees at least a few watchers anyway

The problem would be the premise - I don't see what they might be trying to do with something along the lines of a story for this thing - but that might come out in the future, I dunno. I just don't want to see everything that goes on in the game happening on the screen too - or the media would just be a glorified, overly long and annoying commercial. Watching two tide-pool organisms talk about the weather would be kind of wierd though

:
Okay, this one's really throwing me for a loop. How do you make a movie out of a game that has no definite plot or specified characters? Every game of The Sims or Spore revolves (or will revolve) around different people/creatures doing different things in a different location from every other game. Without any sort of defining characters or locations, I don't see how a Spore or Sims movie will be much but a movie about evolution or a family with the game's name tacked onto the title for publicity. But then again, maybe we'll all be surprised.
Thank you Baruch_S for stating my own thoughts

I just saw the link today - but now with the site redesign, I cant find it... Search Wright and hollywood, or something of the sort
EDIT: Here's the address

It wouldn't be hard to make a movie out of Spore, just a lot of imagination. They'd probably follow the lifespan of one species and how it becomes a dominant tribe in the galaxy.

I thought that too, but it all depends on how they start it, where they end it, and how the species goes about becoming dominant - and since the article seemed like the show/movie would be a sort of promotion for Spore itself, the actions species would have to be ( I think) something players could replicate.
