Could you make a movie out of Bloodborne? How would you make it?

>>78894226
the soulsborne games are so uniquely well suited to the video game medium that it's hard to imagine how you would adapt them to film

it's like watchmen. watchmen is a great example of the unique things comics can do, and is immensely difficult to translate to screen. so while the movie ended up pretty good, it was sort of a miracle. i'd love to see a soulsborne movie, but it would be hard to do properly.

If you just took some of the lore and style and based a completely new action/horror story around it I don't see why not.

The real question is, do we want that?

It would probably be a lot easier to turn Bloodborne into a movie than Dark Souls. BB's Gothic horror + Lovecraft aliens seems a lot more adaptable than DS's quiet post-apocalyptic fantasy with convoluted time and alternative dimension shenanigans.

You could but it wouldn't translate well because what makes FromSoftware's games is the gameplay difficulty. You can't bring that into movies.

>>78894226
Make it focus on the characters and events before our character arrives.

>>78894226
Nope.
You can't. You could make a movie inspired by it, but not a movie that is loyal to the game. It's just not doable by any living person as of yet.

>>78894264
I can actually see the Souls games being adapted. I think the reason Watchmen was so difficult to adapt was because of all the sub-plots wouldn't fit into a two hour movie. Why exactly do you think these games are so uniquely suited to video game medium?

are there any good Lovecraftian movies?

the reason no souls game would make a good movie is they so heavily rely on exploration and feeling things out through the gameplay

>>78897060
If Bloodborne were movie-fied, it would be the best Lovecraftian movie ever made.

If Bloodborne were movie-fied, I would jizz on everything. It would have to be legit, of course. Not some garbage-ass cashgrab like the Resident Evil movies or some Uwe Boll bullshnizz. That's the only reason I'd say Bloodborne couldn't be a movie; it's hard to imagine who would make it, what kind of story to make of it (because just having one main character killing boss after boss on screen wouldn't really fly in the kinoverse), who would star in it, getting the effects right (SO MANY MONSTERS to either CGI or give makeup effects for)...

But again. If done, and done right, jizz. Jizz everywhere.

Could have it be a kinda hero ish movie where the main character is trying to free gherman of being the host of the dream, have gherman be more of a main character, guiding him from monster to monster

The Soulsborne games' way of storytelling is very much at odds with the kind of way Hollywood does things. And if you were going to make a Bloodborne movie then it would have to be Hollywood most likely, it's a setting that requires a large fucking budget and production values.

Just look at how many people dislike Mad Max or think it has no story because it often just uses visual language to say things, or leaves it up to the viewer to infer something. Bloodborne is that cranked up even higher.

>>78900278

Video games can never made into good films because gameplay forms the foundation of the medium. Narrative structure and flow doesn't need to be concise and as the played action determines these aspects. Soul series/blood are perfect examples as they world is bare and only tidbits of information is relayed to players in order for them to discover the story/lore through items and npc interaction.

In the same way cape films take aspects or arcs of the source material and manipulate them to fit film, like death of superman in BvS, Civil War.

>>78900278
Agreed. The Audience would hate watching the protagonist pick up an item and just read a little description next to it while the audience checks youtube to see if someone can tell them what they pretended they already knew.

>>78901872
How many lovecraft stories have you read?
I can understand this opinion coming from someone who's only familiar with a small portion of his vast works.

I myself have read all of his literature, not limiting myself to the books but also reading his correspondence and essays. Basically everything released thus far.
My opinion is his work has depth and his initial concept and idea of the mythos was novel.
I do agree some of his work is badly written, but the vast majority is not. It might not be your cup of tea but his effect on popular culture and the way his works have gripped entire generations cannot be denied.

There's a dozen ways to make a movie set in the Bloodborne universe.

A movie about the Byrgenwerth scholars traversing the tombs under Yharnam all culminating in the discovery of Ebrietas.

A movie about the burning of Old Yharnam. Though this may lean too closely towards generic action shit.

A movie about Kos washing up on the beach of the fishing hamlet and it slowly influencing control on its inhabitants.

A movie about the fall of Yahar'gul.

There were loads of little stories in BB that could be explored without just directly adapting the main plot.

If it were ever made into a movie it should have minimal dialogue. It should be more of a drama/horror than action movie. And visually it has to capture the atmosphere of the game in a very realistic way which would be difficult. It can't be a giant CGI-fest.

>>78894226
I always felt like games like Destiny or Fire Emblem would be the more easier titles to make movies out of.
The Souls games have to be played to experience. Simply taking the loose story and throwing in hidden lore moments wouldn't work. Better as a game.

I won't because all vidya plots always suck hard. I know, I know. You spent 200 hours of your life playing the game and your autism tells you it's the hottest shit ever. But believe me, it isn't.

And bloodborne is a particularly good videogame because of its gameplay. You gotta be a complete self-absorbed autist to believe that Dark Souls or Bloodborne stories are worth of a movie.

>>78894226
The Soulsborne games are basically just settings with no story. You could tell any story you want.

The entire point of Bloodborne is for the player to slowly unravel a deep mystery

Doing that in movie-form wouldn't work as well

>>78909036
Bloodborne has more of a story than Dark Souls, but for the most part you're not wrong.

>>78894226
You could make a movie out of XCOM

I've been thinking about it more than I should

Start it in the early 80s, humans fighting aliens, but the humans have future tech, mind control etc and the environment doesn't look like Earth. Then something terrible approaches (final boss style), things go bad, and we pull back and see that we actually ARE on earth.

Then you go back three years, and spend three seasons building up to that point from a bleak, naturalistic cold-war-ish setting

Politics
Operator kino scenes
Get the viewers to learn all about military tactics as it goes along, similar to the new language people learned watching the wire, so they understand all the hand signals etc when the soldiers are clearing crashed ships
Build up key characters, see them rise the ranks to become super soldiers, then die. This was what was cool about GoT when it started, no plot armour

>>78908151

The only characters that fit the aesthetic were him and his wife, though. The rest of the world was just Great Britain. People would like to see a movie version because of the setting and the Lovecraftian elements.

>>78894329
>never beat him

>>78894264
Dark Souls 1 could fit the silver screen just well in an episodical/ensemble cast style, showing representative parts of the journeys of Chosen Undead/Solaire/Catalina/Artorias/Logan/Crestfallen/Lautrec. A sort of slice from the lives of each other, that puts focus on the degration of Chosen Undead before reaching Gwyn.

The Soulsborne game have almost no story, only the barebones minimum to vaguely hint at where the player has to go and do. They're also very lacking in interesting characters and interactions.

A quipy fish out of water character is thrusted into the world of hunters, to survive, he must learn the arts of the hunter from a strong independant female hunter that takes care of herself and doesnt need help from no man. Together, they must fight the wicked Lovecraftian Donald Trump of the nightmare realm. Along the way, they will indugle in mult million dollar CGI set pieces and huge explosions.


I can jist see it now

>>78912485
No because it either retreads or depends upon the first game. Do the first one, its better anyway.

>>78912944
One could argue that Vendrick's journey could act as the narrative element that takes away the dependence from the first game, as he can act as the expositionary character who finds out what linking the fire, age of fire etc entail.
