Title: A note on a Shadowrun movie
Post by: JM_Hardy on <04-01-11/1053:12>
Anyone who has visited the Shadowrun Facebook page recently may have seen several people spreading rumors about a Shadowrun movie. While I would love for there to be such a thing, I want to categorically state that there is no movie currently in the works. If people claim to have anything finished, such as a short film, then it is something I do not know about and was made without my knowledge, and it should not be considered official. Thank you.

Jason H.

EDIT: The movie has been uncovered! It's in two parts--part one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWvIx3nnZgU) and part two (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RoPbKxYGFw).

I have to agree. The date being what it is and Mr. Hardy being who he is...LOL JK. sort of.  :-X. Seriously the man doth protest too much methinks. I myself have heard very little about anyone with cahones enough to try making a real "Shadowrun" movie. Knowing our luck it would be starring Keannu Reeves as Dunkelzahn! I shall investigate.

Well its been only about 15-20 minutes and i must say that i "Andstay Orca-Ecetdcay" or i stand orrected for those of you who are not fluent in the swine-Latin. Poking about on the old intranet, i caught a blip that somewhere, someone, has indeed ventured to do just what they said...make a "Shadowrun" based movie. I'm sure its no feature, but it would be ineteresting to take a gander at it. I caught two areas that said they had stills but couldnt open them.

They said something about wanting to make a movie, but some of the things they wanted to do were … problematic.

            Hey movie junkies! Some of you may not know this but Shadowrun is a role-playing game set in a near-future      fictional universe in which cybernetics, magic and fantasy creatures co-exist. It combines genres of cyberpunk, urban fantasy and crime, with occasional elements of conspiracy fiction, horror, and detective fiction.

The original game has spawned a franchise with a card game, two miniature-based wargames, multiple video games, a series of novels, and music.[1] From its inception, it has remained among the most popular role-playing games. Now this table top nasement cramming game is to be made into a full length feature by an independent film company named "Metranome" films.

 - FNR - So what made you decided to create a motion picture out of an old school RPG and why hasnt anyone done it befiore?

 - Metranome - Thats funny that you say that. Some have tried and failed. there was a well known attempt at a "Promo" video in the 90's that sank RPG's back into the stone age with its failed cinematogarpahy and wooden acting. We thought it was about time to really liven it up. The big thing now is Comic Book movies and so we said...why not? nobody seems to bother with RPG's and many of them are much cooler than comics.

 - FNR - Who was the leader in your venture?

MATRANOME - Well I would of course like to say myself...being the director. but we did an interview with Jasion Hardy, around christmas time 2010. He had become the new line producer of "Shadowrun" and he really gave us insight into what the movie, granted...any movie about "Shadowrun' should include. So he kind of sparked the fire that had ended up being what we have now. Look for it soon. The production was Hella-hectic but we got the talent and the money and really pushed the envelope.

  I tried two torrents that had "shadowrun" and  "movie" in the title, but they were crap.
Ive got one now called "Action-2011. shadow.run. 2074. feature. Xvid. Movie. Torrentz" Does that sound familiar? :-\ I dont know if this is from the movie but it was on the same link as your picture.

I have nothing. Thankfully. And nothing about that hideously long filename is familiar.

Beautiful!* The parodying of the old promo made me smile...and much of the dialogue made me laugh at how closely it mirrored my role-playing years from age 12 - 15.  Stick for gun...ha! Dwarf bar located on the bottom bunk...haha! Cameos by Bela Lugosi and Tina Fey...uber awesome! Now, where's part two :)


*Beautiful in that bizarre horrifying makes one cringe often kind of way...more phantasmagoric than beautiful, but yeah :)

Possible movies notwithstanding, I would LOVE to see a Shadowrun hour long TV show. Use a large cast of rotating characters that are in different configurations in each episode, throw in a long reaching metaplot (and you have plenty to choose from depending when you set it) and make the Pet Shop Boys song "Opportunities" the theme song and you've got at least (and probably only) one viewer.

Honestly, what network would pick it up.

And whoever says "Fox" will get smacked into the Sixth World!

Sure, they'd pick it up, but then they'd have the director "re-work" the pilot to include a bar fight, then cancel it after 10 episodes.

Well, the bar fight isn't so bad, as long as they don't throw the real pilot out the window.  Oh, wait, it's Fox, never mind.

And I was talking about them cancelling everything that's good.  :P
