4815162342 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Alpha don't compare a film like The Godfather Part 2 to Heavy Rain. The two kinds of film they are are totally different. ChD, you need to focus on what is really important in Heavy Rain's story: Ethan Mars' search for his kidnapped son. He should be the focal point and the other 3 main characters should have their storylines suppressed and condensed since in all honesty, while they may make for intriguing game elements, they're not nearly as compelling or interesting cinematically.

I gotta leave Shelby on for obvious reasons... I think that Madison and Norman can go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I gotta leave Shelby on for obvious reasons... I think that Madison and Norman can go. All 4 main characters can stay, but you should not have 4 equally big storylines. Norman's a FBI profiler brought in to assist on the serial killer case. His job is to be an antagonist-turned-ally for Ethan as he finds clues, but he doesn't need to have a major plot. You can dump the technology/drug angle too since they bloat up his story at the expense of all else. Likewise Madison's role is an independent looker who turns into an ally for Ethan, which doesn't need her own big complex plotline for the whole film. As for Scott, his role as a PC in the game always seemed iffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Anyone using David Fincher or Quentin Tarantino in Y8? I have ideas for OCs for both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will see what I can do, but this probably pushes it back to Year 8 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Here's my current slate for Y8 with Directors: Professor Layton & The Curious Villiage (Animation) - Directed by Joe Cornish (An adaption of the hit game) Parallels (Sci-Fi/Thriller) - Directed by Duncan Jones (It involves an alternate universe.) The Reign Of Griswell (Sci-Fi/Action/Drama) - Directed by Andrew Niccol (My second attempt of The Academy. It's going to be more of a dystopian drama focused solely on the fifth story.) The Masked Man (Drama/Crime/Period) - Directed by Martin Scorcese (My David Tennant Oscar attempt) Hand Drawn Heroes (Animation) - Directed by Phil Lord & Chris Miller (My epic cartoon mashup) So yeah, I'm not using Fincher or Tanatino.

Blankments Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Well, looking it up, I see Alfred has Fincher maybe, but I have a great idea for a film much like Social Network, but with football and loosely based on a recent news story. I'm going to release it next year regardless, but I hope I can use Fincher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Oh, I forgot that Boyle did Lord Madship, not Jones. I can pretty much use any Sci-Fi director for Parallels. Rian Johnson might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks. Hopefully now that all the exposition is out of the way, I can actually develop characters in LucIId. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Parallels is going to be centered around a parallel world where every living entity in our world has a similar soul in the other world, but the gender and role in society of each person are changed. A young man (actor TBD, but maybe Chris Hemsworth) has no parallel soul, but he is part of an agency of similar people who must moderate between the two worlds. That's all I'm gonna say.

It kind of reminds me of this movie. It's not the same, but it reminds me of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtixqUXid9A Yeah, definetly not the same. But still, the whole "two twin worlds" is the same focal point. Anyways, seems like a good idea. Edited March 24, 2013 by Alpha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I'm not going to be as prolific in Y8 as I will in Y7, it'll be more like a couple dramas, and one tentpole or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 The new re-worked plot seems to fall in place for the movie. Thanks Numbers. Decided to make Madison have a few shorter appearances when Ethan starts it, but she gets into main focus near the end of the movie. Norman's story has also been cut down, and the sub plot to his drug problems was removed, but it's still let known that the ARI overuse can lead to certain side effects (I need this for the end). I'm still working on Scott, but I think I've got the idea for him to make him appear near the mid-end of the movie, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
