POCTheSainT Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Hello, I am with a small independent film company called Boba Fett Films We are currently in pre-production of a X-COM Movie I know there are alot of questions you probably want to ask. So I ask that you head over to Last Hope Mod first. The movie has been disscussed there alot. Including script ideas. www.lasthopemod.com So any questions you have, has probably been already answered in the general disscussion area and also at our website. www.angelfire.com/film/bobafettfilms We think its wonderful what your doing with the X-COM remake. More power to you! We'll support you in any way we can If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me [email protected] Thank you for your time POCTheSainTBobaFettFilms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stewart Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 What's the plot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POCTheSainT Posted October 22, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Your actually to first to ask that! believe it or not, everyone else is too rapped up in details of the movie. All i'll say is, the movie will follow the game very closely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stewart Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 So what strategies are the XCOM side gonna use. 14 guys in T-shirts all with AC-HE or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangsta Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 perhaps the humans should be taking a beating till they invent laser technology. Bullets bouncing off mutan men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rookie with a Additude Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 Nah, in the intro movie of Xcom bullets worked well enough, or maybe they where all Very Experianced, but anyway, be nice, maybe the movie could reawake Xcom in conjuction with our remake, by the looks of it Xcom is about to rise Again (Cheers with joy) :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangsta Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 well things don't work that nicely when playing the game. those mutant man require plasma to take em down nicely. although I do admit I fought em before with rifles and hand guns and won.

The Rookie with a Additude Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 I have decided to try this out, i loaded 8 Veterans armed with Personel Armor and Normal Earth weapons Verus Mutons, And it was one heck of a battle, it was in a Terror mission, An not a single building was left standing Anyway it was not like the intro movie, but hey, i did not lose anybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stewart Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 As for this reawaking interest in XCOM. Has anyone thought about the possibility that the movie might suck? And how much, if at all, do we care if it does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POCTheSainT Posted October 27, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2002 To address the movie sucking issue I have three remarks: 1.)Independent Film 2.)Any X-COM fan will absolutely love it 3.)And if they dont like it, So what! We had a blast making it! Also a pic of the X-COM rifle should be up on the site soon. I just saw it today! It looked GREAT! www.angelfire.com/film/bobafettfilms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stewart Posted October 28, 2002 Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 Well we do hope you can pull it off. On the other hand I'm sure the people who made Armegeddon (that asteriod movie with Bruce Willis) thought they were making an excellent movie too.

I'm not trying to be negative or a pain, but it will suck if this movie sucks. Now that I hear it's an independant production, how big of a budget does it have? I should think that special effects cost money and that XCOM would require them in bucketfulls. Or is this going to be a computer thing with CG characters?

Guest Guest_POCTheSainT_Why don't Posted January 3, 2003 Report Share Posted January 3, 2003 X-COM Preview nears completion.... Expect a preview ready for download sometime in the second week of this month.... Also, we will be needing a server that will be able to handle all the downloads that will take place, if XTC, LastHope, XCOMUFO or anybody else wants to offer some web space that would be really awesome!

Devatar Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 Oh this is so like Stewart. :alienlol: But hey, if it's x-com, we're right behind it. I'm not good for much, being a spoiled brat of a bunny and all, but just holler if ya need anything. Hmm... And yeah, please don't make it all armageddon-y. And make the lead character HOT! (USE LARA CROFT! USE LARA CROFT! USE CAPTAIN JANEWAY! oh dammit, where did that come from...) Oh, and what are you gonna use to make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 I didn't see this, but maybe missed it. How long is this film going to be? If you follow the plot of the game. It would seem you have to do a lot of "time warp" to keep the movie with in a descent time length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atropos Posted June 28, 2003 Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 I had a long post here but it got deleted when I accidentally hit ctrl-x or ctrl-W or something. Suffice it to say that there's no way this movie could have not sucked, and there's no way ANY X-COM movie can be true to the source material, actually get made, and not suck. I think the best way to do X-COM is a computer-animated TV series like Roughnecks: Starship Trooper Chronicles. 26 episodes for X-COM 1, 13 for the Elerium Wars and such, 26 for Terror from the Deep. With a movie, you get 120 minutes to tell the story of an entire war. With a 26-episode season at 22 minutes per episode you get 572 minutes. This means you can not only show more, but have more characters (and have more characters die), which will really drive home to the viewer that it's a war, something I doubt you could do in a movie.

Atropos Posted June 28, 2003 Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 I don't remember if it was mentioned above, but the xcom movie was scrapped. A CG series would be cool....I'm aware that it was scrapped, it's just that people were getting really hyped up about a project that, first off, would almost assuredly never be completed or even really started, and secondly would have a 100% guranteed chance of sucking.

I've seen may people out there taking such a sweet game and F@##$ing it up. Leave X-com as is don't mix it with Star trek Or starship troopers.... come on. X-com 1 and 2 are the best 3-6 are the crap i've seen in a long time.X-com Moveis.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpl. Facehugger Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 What?
