Helldivers movie

[THE ADORING FAN]

Are you excited for it coming out? Will you go to the cinema to see it? Does Sony deserve your custom, or do you think people will boycott it over the blocked regions where people can't play the game which spawned the movie? Interesting to see if they just do bugs, and make it basically a new Starship Troopers, or somehow manage to get a ST/Terminator/War of The Worlds all in one film if they use all 3 factions. Also if it'll be fully animated or live action with CGI.

I imagine like with Starship Troopers there will be arguments between the 'woke/antiwoke' camps deciding whether the political satire present in Helldivers is anti/pro statism/fascism/authoritarian etc and getting all mad about it before it even releases. Sony will have to tread carefully there since people are very politically polarised these days.

I'd imagine that if they go for all 3 factions, the plot will follow 3 separate Helldiver squads rather than one squad deployed to fight each faction. We may even see Super Earth and what life is like there compared to the frontier.

Maybe we'll even see the legendary John Helldiver...

I want it happen, because it's hot now, I dont even find execuses why not doing this, that's a highlight moment just for few winners in common's whole life, why not?

Just keep all the humour we familiar with and that's key point why this game attractive, you did that once and you will do that again, I just think it's a good topic and good suggestion for AH, hey, influences, you want that?

I do.

It's 2025, so the film "if" it even enters production will be out 2027/8, this whole announcement just reeks of PR speak, just to give the shareholders something to cling to.

Sony had a shocking 2024 with flop after flop movies and games, I don't see this getting past "we're making a movie" I might be wrong but when has any TV show or movie come close to doing a game cinematic justice.

Well it's just business between buyers and salers, who knows how quickly once they got a perfect deal.

[hbyw618]

Check back who won awards for Sony?

I didnt like Sony but once they smelt money, they can do right things.

And if let me say, it's not a problem about Yes or No, it's about when.

I'm a bit apprehensive about a movie.

While I love the game and while I eat up any media about it, I'm fearfull a movie will kill the "magic" behind it.
Specificly our foux-loyalty to Super Earth.

At the moment, most of us gleefully go along with the propaganda and ingame the exact workings about what Super Earth actually is doing, is left in limbo and not spelled out for us.
While in reality we all probably know what the SE govnerment is all about, nobody actually talks bout it and most of us goes along with the Ministry of Truth: FOR DEMOCRACY!


A movie however, by definition will have to break this mold; We need to have a story and worldbuilding and it needs to be relatable to audiences.
I suspect there will be a fair bit of "pulling back the curtain", making the SE inner workings more obvious; I would hate that.


Also, most movies and stories follow some variation of the "Heroes Journey"-trope.
I'm curious how they would go about following a hero with a avarage life expectancy of about ~2 minutes and make it work.


I'll grab my own Liberator and star in my own movie right now thank you very much!

You know gundam like what we expect because we hate non perfect product so it will never happened, but it happened, maybe not perfect, just make it happen maybe better.

Wait until you see who's actually attached to write it, direct, and star in it. It's a ♥♥♥♥ show with Tom Rothman in charge. He's the same ass clown that ran things at Fox until he switched out.

[hbyw618]

So why we have internet , the better thing is endless script emgerges from the network, anybody like to show the history can be candicated, no surprise, that's why everything is that quick, well, maybe just more quicker via AI involved, it's 2025 now.

[hbyw618]

Director? they might be fired because most think they not good like the AI, trust it or not.

Then, you can vote for it.

[hbyw618]

Things may happened in years, but dont think I'm a madman.

I'm not giving Sony any more money, I don't understand what your point is. How would me not playing a game I've already purchased from them affect Sony in any way whatsoever?

I'd consider giving player numbers to a live service game as continued support tbh

I mean don't get me wrong, I don't give a ♥♥♥♥. I've just heard this argument from people sympathetic to the banned regions, so I assumed you had their level of erm... commitment? I apologize if I looped you in with the ban fanatics.

It's a difficult ethical position for me. On one hand, I don't want to support Sony, so I've put any games published by them now on ignore, but on the other hand, I have a lot of friends who want to play this game and it's too late for me to get it refunded, so I'm kinda stuck.

I'm not rabid about it, but I do think people should at least care that Sony decided to be the only(?) company in the world to take a dump on over a hundred countries for no apparent reason. There aren't any other developers that I know who do this (there's a couple who block a tiny amount of countries (like 2-6) for political reasons amongst others).

Yes, Yes, No, No.

I'll wait until the trailer before jumping to conclusions. I doubt it'll be winning any awards, but I'll give it a fair chance if it looks at least decent and somewhat accurate to the source material. If it looks crap like the vast majority of prior video game movies, I'll either wait for streaming or, if it looks truly awful, gonna have to sit it out.

Given the lore of the game it seems very hard to make a good movie adaption out of it - it's possible to make a movie, but then we mostly end up with another "Halo" ♥♥♥♥-show.

An anthology movie could work though, something like "Love Death Robots" within the Helldiver universe - no need for established characters and needing to keep them alive outside of their stories.

Then there is the obvious question about social political themes being included, and that's where it will be up to Sony - Not including any lecturing / forced discussion would of course be preferable but they also hyped stuff like Concord or this new "Prophet of something" sci-fi game from Naughty Dog
