Title: SMT Movie Post by Angel Heart on 03/30/08 at 19:05:52 A friend and I where talking about how awful VG movie's tend to be and the subject of a Megaten movie came up. There all for it, I'm sorta against it. Any thoughts, opinions and so forth? :) |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by 0kami7777 on 03/30/08 at 20:38:47 Last year a few of my freinds got together over the weekend and thought it would be funny to make what a trailer for a Persona 2 movie would look like (a mock trailer, not real). We filmed a few days worth of footage with our crappy school's camera and then we spliced up footage in iMovie. It was fun but the product is well...it's for laughs, trust me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9OvPtm8qZs Enjoy. And be thankful that there isn't a SMT movie. Though if planned out, I'm sure a stand-alone story wouldn't be too half bad. |

I agree. Video game movies have pretty much been proven to be crap. I don't think it's worth it, it would be more painful then anything. |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by EzraSolomon on 04/15/08 at 23:43:31 >> I think an SMT movie could work if they played to the horror/invasion aspect, a la The Host or Cloverfield (I mean the horrible-things-descend-on-city part, not the shaky camera part). Probably ditch the magnetite usage. Also a sweet fight between the Hero (plus party) and Gotou (plus underwear and black evil slime things), or with Yuriko, or... ... Never mind. They'll probably just give it to Owe Bo... *dies* |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by SHODAN on 04/15/08 at 23:46:04 I'd say forget about SMT or Megaten and do March of the Penguins but with Prinnies |

You could never get enough footage. One bump and a chainsplosion would end all filming. |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by neonecron on 04/17/08 at 01:35:39 No way they could do this a movie successfully unless it was for art over entertainment. and even then it would still be too hard. |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by Alizarin on 04/17/08 at 01:41:42 Yeah, no need to assume Uwe Boll is the sole reason for shitty game movies. |
|
Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by MutheSquirrel on 04/17/08 at 07:33:24 ...why would it matter if they were main stream...? Uh, anyway, no. Pretty much for the same reason Brand said. Whenever I think of video games becoming movies I think of Street Fighter..and Escape from New York... |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by Kanzato on 04/19/08 at 12:56:30 Seeing the live action they do with the commercials.. they're fun, but they're commercials quality. I wouldn't mind some live action as bonus with a game or something. |
|
Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by Ayato on 06/08/08 at 23:59:04 David Lynch, Jodorowsky, or the Brothers Quay could make a badass megaten movie. My personal pics anyway. |
|
Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by 0kami7777 on 06/10/08 at 21:23:04 ^ David Lynch...hmmm...If he did a SMT series movie, I imagine either the part where the main character goes to the Velvet Room in Persona or the Master's library in Nocturne, would look pretty much like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMXjjHFz__A |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by 0kami7777 on 06/26/08 at 21:31:22 I think they would have to conceive of a whole new story that while followed the outline and themes of the games (the rules, if you will) would have to be self contained. It's hard to translate the hours of gameplay an SMT game takes into a film. I do have all summer though and a nice program called Celtex that's perfect for screenplays and stageplays. I could think up perhaps an SMT or Persona movie, but it wouldn't follow any of the game. Maybe some other people here could think up some plots just for the heck of it? |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by Sir_Asura on 06/26/08 at 22:32:43 Personally... I think Persona should become a TV drama. It'd either be the most hilarious live action series ever, or really compelling. .... I also would vote to have it take place not in Japan, or if in Japan, maybe at an international school... as a compromise. |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by 0kami7777 on 06/26/08 at 23:48:26 Yeah...I think I'm going to ahead and come upwith something. A Persona game's plot but with original characters, and I hate to say it, but i think it might be set in America (though this time with it being INTENTIONALLY set there, not one of those let's whitewash Japan and change people's races P1 jobs). If anything, the key to Persona is its artsy vibes and its character analysis, plus the varying degrees of psychological elements. But a question first. Implement the Velvet room, right? ;) |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by 0kami7777 on 07/01/08 at 18:01:03 Well, I started writing up a rough outline of characters and some plot based ideas. Right now I'm torn between a weird amalgam of the first three Persona games or a totally new plot altogether with no referances or character roles similar to the first three games. For example, a problem I'm stuck with is that 3 of the cahracters are basically American versions of Tastuya, Katusyam and Maya (a school kid, his brother detective, and a reporter) but it's not really them so it feels odd. Everyone else is mostly secular. |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by RMarques on 07/01/08 at 19:37:51 Well then fool around with them a bit. Make one have a lazy eye, make the detective brother a detective sister, give someone a drinking problem, something that makes them a bit different from the base. :P |
|
Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by Sir_Asura on 07/01/08 at 22:06:25 I had some ideas for characters that were based on racial stereotypes/stigmas. Have you thought about adding characters who are perhaps 1st or 2nd generation Americans? Adding the ethnic factor is something that is sorta (but not completely) unique to the American setting. |
|
Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by 0kami7777 on 07/01/08 at 23:31:45 I have been working on a book sort of like the Persona series that deals with multi-ethnic inner city kids. I'll probably have a few diversified characters, but race won't be the focus. |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by Raidou11 on 07/13/08 at 14:44:31 Sounds good, but it better not be live-action. That doesn't work for megaten games! |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by crimsonutterfly on 07/13/08 at 15:28:04 augh double nay ;; |
|
Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by Ikkaris on 08/04/08 at 00:09:53 Mmm perhaps Persona would work better for a movie. P3 in particular is cheesy enough. Id cast White Fang as Koromaru, Jude Law as Ryoji and Megan Fox as Mitsuru. Rawr ;) |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by reprogamado on 08/05/08 at 02:45:13 The whole thing about high school students/demons makes me thinks about go-nagai kinda thing... of course ol go nagai was way to far from computers but gakuen shinigamis shure was his thing... So there is a japanese real action movie of devilman, which is a way of visualize how an actual movie about shin megami tensei could possibly look. the there are some other strange japanese movie, cashern, about a tatsunoko hero, much more arty than the devilman movie, which is another way of visualize how could be a japanes take on this kind of story. last, lets not forget about one of the early spin off of the shin megami tensei games, called SMT IF..., the first game that actualy takes place in a high school. It is said that this game is based or influenced but a british cult movie called IF..., from the sixties, starring Malcom Mc Dowel and directed by Lindsay Anderson. This movie is about a school where misterious things start to happen to students and then some kind of rebellion came up... And thats as far as I can go thinking about movies and SMT... |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by neonecron on 08/14/08 at 17:47:59 That's pretty cool |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by cattz on 05/31/09 at 16:17:32 I had to register just so I could stress how miserable it would be. If you guys have Share (japanese p2p program) you could download the megaten t.v. show. The cg is beyond ridiculous and horrid when mixed in with the live action. At best they could make it an anime with today's production values/animation unlike the past one. |

As much as I'd like to see an SMT japanimation rather than a live action CGI clusterfuck, I'd rather SMT stay in the form it's in now. Game form. |

Title: Re: SMT Movie Post by Mudo on 08/28/09 at 12:17:13 No. I like SMT underground. =/ Really though, if they made a live action movie, it would suck balls like the other 99% of videogame movies. An animated movie, though, could be interesting. |
