 QUAKE To Become Feature Film!?
By Charley on October 11, 2005 8:27 PM
 In an interview with SCI FI Wire, id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead revealed that he and his company were discussing a film version of the popular video game "Quake" even before the whole Doom debacle. With "Doom" set to hit theaters later this month, Hollenshead says that he is still interested in pursuing a feature film version of "Quake," regardless of whether "Doom" is successful."It won't make much difference to us, we see everything independently," Hollenshead told SCI FI Wire.
"The challenge for Quake is what to draw from for the movie," Hollenshead said. "Quake 2 and 3 are very different, and Quake 4 is kind of a prequel to 2. So for a movie, we will probably draw from the Quake 2 and Quake 4 universe—an alien race from another planet that has attacked the Earth. That sort of thing."

This will only work if the movie is based on Quake 3 ARENA.

I would like to see a live action rocket jump. How do you go about losing just a little health in real life?

Yeah. You're right about the *live action rocket jump* ... We gotta keep movies like this with total REALITY. With REAL earth physics and stuff. We can't have all this imaginary stuff on the movie screen. Oh.. can't use the STROGG either... that stuff doesn't exist in real life. wait a minute...maybe it is possible with a little thing called SCI-FI!!!

That would be the shit if they made a quake 4 movie.. a quake 3 movie would make no sense and would be very stupid.. But i would loooove to see a quake 4 movie.. i hope they do that

Hell no, are you kidding me. Based on Quake 3 Arena. It wont work. Here is the thing. All FPS games have a story, but they arent all amazing stories. A movie can give a chance to expans more on the story of the game. So, I can see Quake the movie based more on Quake 4, have a way better story, then the mindless MP action of Q3A.

The thing is, in Quake 3 arena you constantly die. In Quake 4, if you die, "You're dead", unless you restart from were you died. I dont want a movie were people just keep coming back to life, boring!
