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.

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'm going to point out the date, and just how far we can trust Jason right now. :P

Yeah..I checked the front page looking for this years joke...at first, was disappointed I didn't see one..this, though,
is clearly the joke...
April 1st..can't trust ANYONE

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.

Wait--"investigate"? What do you think you're going to come up with?

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.

Are you sure you didn't just find the old FASA movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GPGQoR6f6w)?

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

Why didint you say something before? Thats cool! Do they want to do a web-based thing? Sounds like they are name droppin you a bunch on this film they did. I may have found some of those stills at least.

If they did something, I don't want them dropping my name in it!

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.

Hey got one! Here ya is. :D

This is either an intricate April Fool's, or someone misread something...
-
Oh crap. Well, at least that's a good picture of me.

You look like your about to sneeze or something... ;D Do you have the full interview?
-
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.

Okey dokey. That torrent is at least downloading nice and slow, so we shall see what it is when it completes. I for one am excited.

Could be worse, you could be facing Dredd.

I've had some offline conversation with jdmclane, and he says he's uploading what he's got to YouTube.

Anyone going to post any actual links anywhere? Or am I going to sit here refreshing the page to get Rebecca Blacked (the new Rick Rolling apparently)?

I believe a link will be posted once the uploading is done.

no way!!!!!!!! its superb! feast your eyes upon this!!!!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWvIx3nnZgU)

Even a front page post? Commitment.
-
Brilliant
I demand the Boob spell be introduced
-
That was a LOT of effort for a really bad joke, dude. You, sir, insult the fine tradition of Shadowrun April Fools pranks.
-
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 :)
-
Where's the brain bleach?
-
Part two is up! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RoPbKxYGFw)
-
"Bang!"
-
I'm disappointed at the lack of Drop Bear so far. :'(
-
Please tell me these are the rushes and it's not supposed to be that out of focus.
Either that, or I need my glasses prescription checked again.
-
Everything about that was worth the two seconds it took my evil gen 1 iPad to switch apps from-que horror-Safari to YouTube. A-fuckin-mazing. Every man who's married has succumbed to the Boob spell.

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!
-
hey, there is a real shadowrun movie out there and in the works... 8)
check out my movie project showing the runs and story of my last campaign. haha
two episodes are online, so far.
00 - Prolog (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynF7l_hUduU)
01 - Toprunner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byaTTz0Kx68)
enjoy!

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
