...Into a movie or mini-series, which would it be? Well, personally, I'd plan for both. I'd write a full script for a movie based on the original RPGMaker game, because that wouldn't be difficult to condense down to one two hour (possibly longer) sitting. And for the mini-series, I'd based it on Blood Covered. I'd make a full pitch presentation for both, and then pitch the idea to someone. If I absolutely had to pick who, I'd go to Wingnut Pictures, owned by Peter Jackson. Why? 1. Jackson, himself. The man is not afraid to allow a long story to be told. 2. He LOVES authenticity and would let the crew go crazy with perfecting even the tiniest of details on set and in the script. He would have no problem letting me have an all-Japanese cast with Japanese being the language it's told in. 3. Access to Weta Workshop. 'Nuff said. How about you?

Definitely a mini-series. I feel like a movie might end up a bit rushed. *glances over at Tortured Souls (I mean, I was ok with it, but still)* Anyway, with a mini-series, there's no need to worry too much about time restrictions. They can just focus on telling the story then.

Tortured Souls hasn't just rushed. It was fired out of a cannon and someone forgot to give it a comfy matt to land on and it splatted like Mayu against the pavement. Now is the problem with allowing any company to make a Mini-Series long enough to tell everything that needs to be said. American Mini-Series are almost required to be only two parts long (unless you somehow manage to convince them to go the Walking Dead route). England has no problem allowing for an 8 episode series with each entry being 2 hours long, but I would rather not try to bring Corpse Party to life on Doctor Who's budget. |

Well, then perhaps not a "mini-series", but an actual series would be better. But if I had to choose between a mini-series and movie based on budget (using the budget for mini-series you have described), then I would choose movie. If the budget was decent though, then mini-series, as I said before. |

I vote mini-series. If I can't make an anime, which is usually a /lot/ cheaper, I'd go with that. ...Part of me wouldn't want to make it live action and would rather have it stay in anime format, and I would also not western-ize it. |

Yep. No matter what, it would be a challenge, if only because of the extreme advantages and disadvantages of each format. Whoever did would really have to know what they were doing with it well in advance. Oh, yeah, Westernizing it would just kill it. Edited by WeirdRaptor, September 19, 2013, 10:41 pm.

Agreed on both points. If they end up trying to deviate from the material, it'll be the end of any chance of redemption here... Stick to the plan western movie/series directors! |

Yeah, only make the absolute necessary ones should be made for the sake of being watchable, Western TV and movie makers. Of course, before I would want anyone to touch CP with a ten foot pole, I'd require that we get video game movies in the West turned around from their present. Kicking Uwe Boll and Paul S.W. Anderson out of the film business would be a good place to start. I'm still trying to comprehend what they thought they were doing with the Super Mario Bros movie.

They knew exactly what they were doing: a quick cash grab from gamers they managed to sucker out of their money. X'D |

Yeah, that, too. You'd think they could do that without making everything about the movie the opposite of what's presented in the games. |
