๐งWhat are your thoughts and opinions on a Horizon Zero Dawn movie??
โ Are you excited to see Aloy on the big screen?
โ Would you rather it be a TV series or a full length movie?
โ Who's your top choice to play Aloy, Sylens, Rost and some of the other characters??
your the goat man
Id rather they have had a series on things like the Clawback
A movie feels unecessary
as long as it doesn't get the borderlands treatment, a geriatric Aloy and Jack Black as Rost.
Amazon could do a good job with the world, the world from Fallout Series could pass for HZD, just add robot dinosaurs.
I honestly donโt care for the movieif it is just a retelling of Aloys first game.
Having something about Liz and or Faro would have been way cooler.
Hell I think an SW Rogue One type of movie would be great as well. Where we follow a group of soldiers wo decimate a Horus etc. just to give zero dawn those precious weeks/days to archive their mission.
I would even prefer that because it would be a movie with a bitter sweet ending. And if that movie hits you might either play the games or do movies about those games.
Honestly having David Harewood play Sylens would probably be the easiest choice they could do. In both the 3rd game as in the movie.
Because David looks similar to Lance and even have a voice and mimic that isnโt that far off.
For me personally he would be the perfect choice but I donโt know how David Harewood would feel to play Sylens and having to do a role again only because Lance Reddick passed away. I of course talk about David Harewood performance of Warlin Door in Alan Wake 2 which would have been played/voice by Lance Reddick.
Thanks for this breakdown Chazz. I agree with much of your pro's/con's list, and they are all valid concerns. There is so much lore and world building and character arcs that one movie couldn't do justice to Horizon, even if it ends up being a decent production. But we'll keep our fingers crossed and hope that they end up doing it right
Hope its great, dont ruin it with woke bs, dont make it feel artificial.
"Early stage of development" sounds to me like "We were talking during our lunch break the other day and someone said: Hey, let's make a Horizon movie!". I'd really like to see that movie, but for now I'm not holding out any hope that it will actually happen.
Petition for Hannah Hoekstra to be cast as Aloy
I really liked the first game (played ~5 times on hardest difficulty) specifically the story was cool and the gameplay was relatively easy but still very fun.
I'm not enthusiastic about a movie adaptation
This wont work… This movie needs more money than jesus.
