There are so many video game adaptations on the way that my head is getting dizzy

MBJ lineup after winning Best Actor is: Thomas Crown reboot (also directing), Miami Vice ’85 (Reboot), (potentially) I am Legend 2 (with Will Smith), and now Battlefield.

So they are paying licensing money just for the logo and theme music?

Bad Company would be perfect for an adaptation.

Maybe a bit less military porn garbage would be cool

Please, someone advise the main characters to never ever travel over or under a bridge, because they always *always* blow up or collapse right as you’re traversing them.

Live-action rendezook or why even bother

I remember when videogame adaptations were box office poison. How times have changed. And somehow Bioshock is still stuck in adaptation limbo.

ANOTHER ONE ☝️

Christopher McQuarrie, Michael B. Jordan, and Battlefield is certainly a combo I never thought of.

But like, what would make it stand out from a standard war/action movie?
The only iconic thing Battlefield has is the theme song.
BF has no main character and no setting that makes it unique.

I absolutely adore Battlefield, but is anyone actually asking for this? lol

MBJ winning an Oscar for an original movie and having a slate of like twelve unoriginal movies is so depressing.

McQuarrie – The Usual suspects – Edge of Tomorrow two of my all time favorites
but an adaptation of Battlefield, I assume Jordan as Irish…I am not sure about that

Can’t wait for the Call of Duty Movie vs Battlefield Movie video discussions

That honestly sounds awful. Not every video game needs a movie.
Especially BF, a series that for the first few titles was multiplayer only with a tiny bit of story context told through text in the loading screen.
And even when they finally started adding story modes they were fucking awful with utter dogshit writing.
The only part of BF that maybe could have a movie is bad company, a spin off of the main series. And even then as a massive BF fan I have almost zero interest in a move about that. Just give me a bad company 3 already, a movie is pointless.

MBJ had an episode in Love/Death/Robots where he voices a starship fleet soldier or something. That was really cool. They should do something like that.

I don’t understand the urge to make games into movies, it’s always a downgrade

Problem with this is that Battlefield has no memorable campaigns to base a movie around lol. The sheer scale of the battles could be great for the big screen but that’s about it.

I’m really curious to see how this movie and COD’s will differ.

Yes, yes, yes
kawaiinessa on
so another generic war movie on the way
Bulbasaur2015 on
its just going to be like the COD movie or any modern military FPS. whats the difference?
Fools_Requiem on
Bad Company is the only thing you can adapt and make it even moderately good… Anything else is going to be military action slop with no story.

I have theorized it for a long time now, but I believe the last two Avengers may be the last bow out for the MCU as a whole and the story may reflect that, especially since it’s based off the two Secret Wars runs. There’s never been such a behemoth of a cinematic universe like this in cinema history before, but I think that the tide is shifting over to producing video game films now that there are decisions in Hollywood made preemptively and quickly being made right now such as this, but not limited to just these films being announced. Marvel firing its creative team. The InfinityVision gimmick. Even Daredevil coming back, and this iteration of the Punisher being in the new Spider-Man.
There’s guaranteed to still be MCU films after Secret Wars, but it’s still in the air how the universe will look after it.
As to how successful this new era of films will be, particularly these kind of movies that will be replacing superheroes only time will tell, but one thing is for sure there likely will never be an era like the modern MCU.
I think they’re trying to find their new golden cash cow with this new era of films, but they will never find the kind of success they’re looking for even if these are still successful.

As long it’s bad company and it’s done right, it could work.
