God of War movie a step in 'bold' new direction - Report

I could see Jason Momoa as Kratos.  Now if fans want the video game voice. they can do two things. either have a voice over with Terrence TC Carson who is kratos voice in the game or mess with his voice a lil on the computer.  They did voice overs plenty of times.  I think director wise the saw writers are wrong.  Frank miller who did 300, Sin city, and upcoming movie the wolverine.  He would fit good. I would say the writers from the game but writing a game and movie is two different things.  I didnt like the writing in clash of the titans but the actions and good use of the gods were good. 

Well, with the superbowl commercial they have shown us that they can bring Kratos to life. and like so many others, i also waited for movie(s) based on GOW games. But as the years goes by and more games come out, how will the movie really be like. We already know the Kratos story and that we do not know we will find out in Ascension

And remember just because writers suck, does NOT mean they will suck very time. Still i wonder, why arent they hiring the people behind the script of the GOW games to write the movie(s)?  If anyone can write Kratos script, it is them.

I am not sure what went wrong with Clash&Wrath of the titans or Immortals. I have to say that "titans" are better then the immortals.  and i guess it has to be the storyline. I first saw a teaser of immortals - i went WOW, this is how GOW should be like and after i seen the film i realzied ONCE again that the makers of the trailer are better at their job then the once behind the acctual film. if they are the same person(s) then those sure are better at making trailers then movies.  Immortals was a huge fail, it could have been epic. 

Well i say that take the best parts from "titans", immortals, 300 and even sparatcus (tv). and really go out on a limb to make the movie(s) as close to the games as possible; as it would be if it had been made in animation. Meaning, they should not ONLY hire the writers, but they should hire the director and who ever else is needed to from the game studio(s). if they can make awesome games, they sure will be able to pull off the same caliber movie(s), with the right help and budget.

Why did Universal employ shit writers for this??

I have been hoping for a God of War Movie ever since the first game came out, there's a lot of potential in the GOW concept to make one hell of a movie (or movies), but seeing who the writers will be I think I will pass. I mean come on, Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan??? What were you thinking giving a master project into the hands of these guys! I think I'm gonna cry. No offense but you guys have a tendency to turn diamant into stinky poop!

If you want to turn this into a serious movie I would suggest people like Christopher Nolan and/or Zack Snyder.

God of War could be a great action movie. The franchise does actually have a story that could be transformed into something entertaining and worth watching, unlike many other action movies that aren't based on games. I was disappointed about how Clash of the Titans ended up being, but I haven't watched Immortals. Anyway, I like that they're trying to make it stand apart from other films in the genre. That kind of thinking seems to be severely lacking both in the movie and game industry, although there's no point in making something different if it's not good enough.

funny that saw was good exactly until saw 3, then those guys came. no high hopes for this one...

Anyone else think that this movie had no chance once they hired the writers from Saw?

Am i the only one that thinks this is a bad idea? Game to be movie this is big mistake!!! Kratos will go ballistic...AGAIN!!!

game movies don't turn out so well just like movie games suck

Immortals was sooo bad I dont know where to start...so I just wont...and The Wrath/Clash of the Titans...way below average...very poor acting and waste of special effects in my opinion. Hopefully they wont waste this franchise.

why do we need a god of war movie when the the entire series in itself is a like a movie. Hollywood= destroys great Game franchies they have yet to make anything worth watching

They should get Nicolas Winding Refn on it so he completely ignores the script that the saw guys made and makes his own movie like he did with Drive.

A film like this to me would need directors more like Zack Snyder (300) or Stephen Sommers (The Mummy 1 & 2, Van Helsing, G.I Joe), James Cameron (Avatar, Terminator 2) or possibly Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy) or Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) or even Guillermo Del Toro (Blade 2, Hell Boy 2) ....1 of these guys perhaps or some other awesome director can make me atleast have some faith in the success of this film as the writers already don't exactly have me all hyped for the story!

Who would play the best Kratos?

yes i like it

 

So its going to be crap like the SAW IV, V, VI & 3D ?? 

 

~~I have tears in my eyes right now :'(

I think its a good call, as we all know how  the story plays out and ends. Some changes and differentiation will make the movie worthwhile to watch. However, it is also very risky to alienate and ruin the story, so its a very delicate matter.

All the recent "Greek Mythology" films were so $T*!@#$&!ing bad

as long as Charlie Sheen and Uwe Bol are in it, then i'm sold.

The Bold new direction :- It will be a romantic comedy : P

To boldly go where no god has gone before..

When the writers of the Saw movies say they're taking something  in a bold new direction, expect a sub-10% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

P.S. Having just finished watching the first two series of Spartacus about an hour ago: anything on parr with that gets two thumbs up from me. :-) I think they'll really have to try and avoid comparisons to 300 just because of how borderline iconic that movie is.
