Star_Colonel_Ian wrote:Ok, everything he told us has already been said EXCEPT for how much control K.S. will have over it and the control of the Rifts merchandise. Where is the really good stuff, like who's going to be apart of this, and especially: who's going to write and direct?
I think that they should get to work on the Rifts PC game now, so it can atleast be released after the movie and have a proper amount of development time to create it.
So, this anouncement, I felt, was kind of a jip because he didn't tell us that much, but atleast we know that the Rifts won't suffer from bad merchandise.

Very likely, he is contractually obligated NOT to say anything other than what he has been cleared to say. I'd be willing to bet there's a LOT of money involved in this, as in any film, and saying the wrong thing at the wrong time can make the whole thing go sour.
Star_Colonel_Ian wrote:If you guys can't tell us anything about it, don't tease us with a "Big Rifts Movie Announcement!" It's nice to know that K.S. has control over the various Rifts products, but if he can't tell us anything, don't bring it up! I get all excited hoping that Palladium has something important to say, but then its the samething over and over again. Recycling the same stuff over and over again will just cause us to lose interest.
So let us know when something important happens, otherwise don't say anything.

Those who are unaware of the story, are not as likely to enjoy it...satisfaction in the initial presentation means a better likelyhood of seeing it again...just to try and find anything missed before. Although many of the subjects just discussed will be largely in the hands of the directors, producers, and actors (etc.) WE can play a major roll in the promotion/advertisement of this great event.

...it is in OUR hands (and the advertisment department) to ensure this creation is witnessed by maximum available viewers.

Um, I think promoting the movie is fine. However, I think new players will come AFTER the movie makes a big splash...

That is all i wish to know.
Coric wrote:I think that it would be very interesting as a intro if something like this happened:
Erin Tarn is the narrator. Slowly her form comes into focus from blackness. She begins to speak giving the audience an intro to the rifts world. as the speaks of each continent or country briefly...
Her form fades back to blackness (she's still talking) a current map of rifts earth comes into view. As Erin talks about each counrty the camera zooms into the continent and a short clip of the atrocities, beings living there, major places and people are shown in glimpses.
I think that Erin may want to speak on the topics of recent battles and major events, the peace and events of Chaos earth and other things. it would also be interesting to see alien craft orbiting earth, or other planets. the cosmic forge with some cosmo knights would also be interesting.
any hoo this would make an interesting intro and may give the non rifting audience a chance to get a lot of background info in a short amount of time.- old s/mage

Seriously though, this is so cool! I may break out my books and start playing again.
6armdemon wrote:Of course Palladium is taking a risk in the production of this movie (look what happened with TMNT). Rifts is so diverse that it's hard to actually get anything "wrong" in the movie as far as the fans are concerned. We will all have our fair share of gripes with the movie (we all have slightly different views as to the image of Rifts Earth/Phase World). It's important to remember that more than likely, the directors will go for a "public appeal" and all but forego the traditional Rifts setting. And I mean "traditional" in the overall sense that Rifts is "high-powered" and "munchkin", which is a Godsend to me (don't care much for the constant reticule of other gamers calling me super-uber). If you're looking for a movie that will display a Cosmo-Knight flying through a sun, creating a chain reaction that will ultimately lead to a supernova, in order to destroy some Dominator that can't be killed any other way...well...you MAY be disappointed.
...actually...that sounds kinda cool...
Second, as long as the movie has a glitterboy in it, i'll be happy
Mike Taylor wrote:IMAX theatrical releases tend to cost way more than a standard movie. Tack on about $5 to whatever your local theatre charges. At Chicago's Navy Pier IMAX theatre, a major movie costs $14.50. If the film does extraordinarily well, then I could see this after the first run is up, much like what happened with the last two Star Wars films.
NatJester wrote:I think the IMAX theatres idea is probably not a profitable one. I know WE are all excited to see this movie, and despite all of our varied ideas about what should be or shouldn't be in the movie...more than likely we will all still like it. Afterall, we are fans, right? However, when making a motion picture, you do not do so to appeal to the people you know already are going to see it, there money is guaranteed...its the rest of the world you want to make sure is impressed. Granted, you don't want to **** the fans off, but realize that no matter what your end result, fans are going to have some disappointment no matter what. They are so set in what they want, and every fan wants something different. Its basically impossible to make a 'movie for the fans' because of this. So instead you strive for the audience that has no idea and has no biases...thats where the money is made.

No director has been announced, David Franzoni is writing it and Disney is distributing it. Jerry Bruckheimer is producing.
