QC - The Movie
Hanner3!:
Thanks Andy147. What did you think of them? I thought the biggest problem was the audio primarily in the trailer. I hope they fix it and the teaser, it looked good. I think that for some people just starting out it wasn't crap. Plus I thought the music fit and was very funny.

--- Quote from: jwhouk on 06 Aug 2011, 15:39 ---The movie would have to hit on a couple of key themes:
* Marten meets Faye
* Establish Dora (and Raven) and the Coffee of Doom
* The Talk; Enter Hannelore
* Dora goes after Marten
* Faye's issues & "fling" with Sven
* Enter Marigold; Angus & Faye's "relationship" development
* Angus and Faye get together, Marten and Dora break up
You might be able to get it all in in under 90 minutes, but you'd have to cut some things out.
--- End quote ---
You might be able to do all of that in 90 minutes, but it wouldn't make for a very good movie. Imagine watching that as someone who didn't know QC at all: the plot moves at break neck speed through all of these major life changes for these characters. You don't have an opportunity to really get to know or care about any of them before the next thing happens and someone new shows up. In other words, it would be the exact opposite of QC, which gives us a fair amount of intimate detail about characters who we come to care about because we know them so well, even if not much happens regularly in the comic.
Movies are good for telling discreet stories, not so much for long epics. Those teaser trailers make it look like whoever's doing that maybe as the right idea: pick one plot arch and do that. It looks like they're doing the events leading up to the talk through the time Marten and Dora start dating. This is a nice compact little story with a beginning, a middle, and an end.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the Hollywood golden child- the Trilogy.*
Then we could get a whole buttload of QC on screen :-D
(*I don't think anyone has mentioned it....I skimmed the thread, please don't shoot if I'm mistaken :-P)
Carl-E:
Ready...
Aim.....
Oh, no one else mentioned it yet?
Stand down, men.
Border Reiver:
But I haven't shot anyone yet today!
