Like the casting, The Division could make a great movie, though they’ll need to sort out the politics of it; in the game you shoot looters dead without warning for being filthy criminal scum and then you loot the same shop for supplies. While it’s a fun game its morality is a bit unsettling, I mean Alex does not deserve is fate :*(

Funny you say Warcraft bombed…

It has grossed over $450 million on a likely total $200 mill cost to make and market. It opened up the doors for movies like this over seas.

In reply to Vos_L. And before it was not like that? I mean, only original movies and dubious projects needs scripts to get the greenlight. And the films based on something (book/game/comic book/etc) needs just a concept or idea or premise to be approved for production. It was ALWAYS like that.

This is how today’s Hollywood works….studio comes up with a premise or concept, greenlights movie and then tries to come up with a script. That’s why most of these movies are garbage. Plus, they so focused on trying to manufacture a “franchise” and setting up theoretical future movies that they don’t bother making a good movie.
