Ultima Movie

[Macaw]

Imagine a Ultima movie.... oh my god that would be heaven. In fact the ultima's after exodus would make incredible movie scripts (if they were altered a bit of course)

Of course if they did become a movie then the fact they are based off games would have to be denied otherwise people would dismiss it as another crap game->movie, oblivious to the incredible storytelling and concepts of the ultima games that is nothing short of genious.

On that note, if there was to be a U7 film, who should be in it?

The Avatar- Brad Pitt
Iolo- Morgan Freeman
Lord British- Mel Gibson!! lol
The Guardian- Christopher Walken(SP?)

Don't know. I used to think a Wing Commander movie would be great:-) Funny how the games had better actors than the movie.

OT: Has anyone read the Lynn Abbey "Ultima" books? I read the first two, but it looks like there's supposed to be a third book in the series which was never written.

[Yeah Right]

An Ultima 7 movie could never get made, the Scientologies would bury the
production under lawsuits...

[Yeah Right]

Scientologists, rather.

[dag]

maybe it shouldn't be made at all.
i love the wing commander series, but the movie was...
...kind of...
...disappointing.

Mel Gibson could also be Dupre ..and
Michelle Pfeiffer as Syria
Johnny Depp as Master De Snel
Ray Park as Sprellic
Jennifer Connelly as Ophelia
Michael Clarke Duncan as Kliftin
..and the movie would be located in Jhelom and contain a lot of fighting and drinking and betting.

if you search in google groups under rec.games.computer.ultima.* you will find another couple of threads dedicated to this.

mckauly culkin(however he's spelled) as Garret!!!! and hmm not sure who Tobias could be, but if i had my way garret would be killed off somewhere in the movie

[Dominus]

only if we could have him back as a kid. Nowadays he is just too old for that role

[terok00001]

the "i see dead people" kid could be spark... but then he would have to be killed off too...

They would have to throw something like that in there. I was surprised I didn't see much of it in UIX.
