Dodowhisperer Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Everyone loves dinosaur movies. Has Wildcard considered doing a movie based on the ARK universe and in game sandbox scenarios that play out everyday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have a multi-perspective series on the Island focusing on Helena, Rockwell, etc., and then a series on Scorched Earth focusing on Dahkeya and co. It'd all depend on how good the director is, how well done the fx are, etc. etc. It's a neat premise, but it would need a lot more than just Wildcard to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostysniper Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 A TV show could be really good, but would require a lot of work and skill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamagh Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Season two would be all about taming something. Half of it would be getting ready, the last haf would be knocking it out waiting around. In the last 5 minutes of the season finale... something comes along and kills the tame. 22 episodes just for a jab in both eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewiatan Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 That's a bad idea in my opinion. Almost every movie based on a game is terrible. ARK doesn't have interesting story. It wasn't meant to have one at the beginning anyway. There was a TV series that had dinosaurs and settlers who traveled to the past to leave their old polutted Earth. Terra Nova. The concept was really facinating, but the plot was really poorly written and when things become interesting the season ends. Btw it had alien thread in the plot like ARK. There was no season 2, because viewers were quite disappointed. So, I'm quite sceptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodowhisperer Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 I think a movie and tv series spin off could be really feasible with some creative writing. Game of thrones, meets westworld meets Jurassic park meets mad max and a zombie survival wrapped into one. The movie could start off simply with different characters waking up on a beach, dovetailing into an introduction about an evil alpha tribe massacaring villages, plenty of dino raiding war scenes and a hero that overcomes the odds to kill the alpha tribe leader. In addition the movie could feature the current music paired with heavy metal scores during giga / Rex scenes. Just needs good writers and a budget for cgi and props.

Terra Nova getting cancelled was a joke, it didn't have awful ratings in the slightest but it cost an absolute bundle to produce, I believe the pilot was the most expensive ever made. It was pretty poor at times though, but the last episode or 2 of season 1 had me very interested in Season 2, shame it never happened and Netflix decided not to resurrect it last year as was rumoured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox has a bad reputation for creating a series, getting people hooked on it, and then trying to sell said series to other channels at a bigger profit. Plus, it didn't help that they raptored with the airing. They decided MLB was more important. Bleh! I've not watched Fox since then. I wish Netflix would pick it up and continue... Aside from Fox's ass-hattery, Terra Nova's main issue was that it was doing too much at once.. You had a story that involved time travel, dinosaurs, was a thriller, mystery drama that was also trying to be a family show. It just, Ugh. It didn't know who it's target audience was and tried to cater to everyone.They tried to please everyone and failed to please as many as they had hoped. That seems to be a common thing when it concerns dinosaur media in general. Looking up all the shows that had dinosaurs in them as a main plot point or story setting, the maximum "life span" seems to be about 3 seasons for some shows and as few as 14 episodes. Granted most tv series film just enough to hit syndication then stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, the series could be following inter-tribe conflicts on the ARK, and it basically ends with the protagonist(s) learning about Ascension, making it through the TEK Cave, and using their new power/perspective to end the conflict. It sounds really cheesy when you put it that way, but also, the best stories never truly end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownieShytles Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 let them actually release the game before talking about a movie or a TV-show so cringy but maybe the game gets an anime adaption, that would be a shocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubonicZombie Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I wouldn't consider a movie, but maybe a webseries. Like, players submit actual in-game occurrences and a story is featured in an episode. Kind of like Tales from the Crypt, but with dinosaurs.
