I really like the movie, but as everyone else feels, I think it will be screwed up.

I just know it's gonna be bad. I hope it's good, but I know...
Same. That's the stigma of adapting an entity to the big screen that doesn't have a central character(s). Look at the Final Fantasy (Spirit Within?) movie. No recognizable characters and it was garbage.
MaRo once mentioned a possibility of a magic movie that focuses on planeswalkers. Maybe something that focuses around Ajani, jace, Liliana, Chandra, and Garruk?

Honestly, and don't come at me with pitchforks, fox should sell it to Disney and Disney should sick ILM and LucasArts on it. Then we would see real Magic!

I agree. I think Disney (especially when they spend a large amount of money on something) tends to treat their projects seriously. The amount of world building and creature design a MtG would take, it would be better suited in the hands of someone with the funds. Not that Fox lacks funds. Just not as much as Disney.

Me three, if only they saw this.

I hope it centers around the war with Urza. It'll still suck, but at least I'll be in it.

Probably need to be live action to warrent a good special effects team and not get B classed immediately

Ya good point. And tbh as a magic player who doesn't know much of magics history I'm so pumped for this! When do you think that it'll be released? (Obviously in awhile but still)

I am thinking late 2015 early 2016

If they are smart they will aim it around a big expansion release.

Though I hope this is not the case for us, from a marketing view aiming for magic's 25th year but that would not be until 2018

Damn but the 25th anniversary does seem appropriate but like you I hope it's much sooner lol

they didn't even consult with the author on that one. Oh, and the article says there consulting with hasbro exec's...I hope that means the wizards department...

We don't talk about that... It was too tragic... T.T
What do you mean? They only cut out a third of the story, all of the details, every scrap of character development and then still managed to butcher it more...

Sadly...no. Read the book and then watch the movie, then you'll know what I mean.
