Honestly, the light side/dark side of Lorwyn block could actually be turned into a decent movie, so long as nothing from the books - especially the author - has anything to do with the screenplay.
Actually. I wouldn't mind seeing Chandra in a feature film, especially after the small comicbook about her. After all, there might be an exclusive storyline just for her already written.
Dunno if Its been mentioned in the last 6 pages of the thread, but isn't Candy Land a name of a Porno?
I figure that the four movies will probably include clue, monopoly, and stretch armstrong, as they seems the most interesting.( or in the case of Monopoly, may already be in progress)
If M:tG is made into a movie, I think that they could possibly make a decent movie out of the odessey block. They could make the movie similar to gladiator.
If they decide to do a general fantasy and use Elijah Wood however, I might be forced to blind myself.

I don't know about stretch armstrong, they ran a cartoon show for him once and it was a ratings bomb. Any movie like that would be "stupid" humor. Nothing good can come of it. Then again, I am quite puzzled by what they plan to do with monoply?
Now, lets all not forget what else hasbro owns. They recently gave Wotc Heroscape as a design project, so they might end up making a movie to promote that.

honestly, that was my favorite story idea. thy'd probably do like Kamigawa or Ravnica (hope for ravnica lol)
but Odyssey and Onslaught Cycles are my favorite cycles to date, and i see no trouble with making a story out of them. They'd just need the line "in the wake of an apocalypse, blah blah blah yadda yadda" to end the confusion about the prior story (E.G.- the invasion, Urza, Gerrard, Yiggity-Yawgz [lol], and the Phyrexian invasion).
With the exception of Chainer's Torment, the Oddysey and Onslaught arc was horrible, contradicting most of the established facts in the overall Magic storyline, such as bringing Yawgmoth back, a white aligned Teferi and a false god more powerful than a planeswalker, yet no planeswalker to contest it.
I think Brothers War would be their best and sagest bet. Otherwise, they'd have to go with something more contemporary, such as Kamigawa, so that players wouldn't be dizzied. Then again, they might come up with a while different story, an idea which I'm not particularily fond of because of the exceedingly good material ready avaible for film production.

Common sense isn't so common... Thanks to PotN at Solar Flare Studios for the awesome sig!
Am I the only one who wants to see Johnny Depp as Toshi "Jitte" Umezawa in Kamigawa: The Movie?
...
Probably. A Brother's War movie could be excellent however. Certainly better than Garruk and his talking animal sidekick Goyf in Doran Doran: The Movie.
It would be awesome if the MtG : The Movie is about a bunch of players trying to get a set of Tarmogoyf for a PTQ. IT should be full of chicks and hilarious college situations.. just like a sit comedy. :).
and real pros like actors.... like Kyle Sanchez and Billy Moreno looooooool....like the 80s nerds movie....A bunch of guys trying to get game cards instead of chicks for the weekend??? wtf???
Wasn't Ons/Odd where they finally figured out story-based sets for MTG were bad, because their stories were bad? Why are we trying to revisit these?
they still have story based sets, so idk WHAT you're talking about.
to the person who bashed every ODYONS story but Torment, it kind of was moreso explained in TSP cycle with the Teferi, and also Karona had traveled in a transcendent state, surpassing space AND TIME. She conversed with yawgmoth. no biggie. then she went to a future (albeit alternate) dominaria, and conversed with a
white Teferi. Obviously when the alternate Karona came to Dominaria, she (he?) conversed with blue Teferi, which means that because in certain timelines, the important events still occurred (like this one) that it works. Also, Karona wasn't subdued by any planeswalker, but she was subdued by three gods and a
certain "Uber-Artifact" wielding Druid. It makes sense, I tell you! SENSE!
So, ultimately, any plotholes you wanted an answer for, ther ya go, he (or she, it's not specified?) who wanted spoilers!
~Lil Kalki
(P.S.--I did the spoilers like that in a misleading manner. Karona and the druid might not have conversed. so there.)
So we're going to get Monopoly for sure (somehow.) That leaves three more. Magic is very likely. Candy Land is probable, as is Stretch Armstrong. Battleship is iffy, and Ouija - wait a second - is that even owned by Hasbro?
lets face it hasbro is looking to milk it's propitys for as mush as posably and in the process supply the failing movie industry with more fuel to keep it running. the reason transformers was so damm popular was because people WANTED a transformers movie. that fact alone made more people go see the movie that what would normaly would have gone, on top of that it had a decent story line and very good special effects. Now looking at the other hasbro stuff posable magic makes the most sence as we already have establed and good story lines. candy land could possably become decent but mainly just filler. battleship would be just another war film. clue is well decently dumb as Im sure 90% of the people who play it don't know how to play it properly. Monopoly can be done, at least better that clue and battleship. stretch armstrong well umm ok super hero flick thing? does it even have a background story? and i have no idea what ouija is.
as for the magic story line i would also have to agree on the brothers war for being the premire film to lead into it as it has the best story line, the least "magic" involved and has both a background story and leading storys and can be done much like the starwars movies (though all of them will hopefully be good) of all of them the thran would possably be the weekest book of them all since there is little acual action in the book and it is more about story line and decet than big fighting, minus the BIG ass explosion that blows up 99% of the thran world (though it would look insanely cool)
um not to be a storyline hound but 99% of the thran world doesnt get blown thran is DOMAnAria unless you are trying to tell me domanaria is a 1% piece of land now but it still have multiple continents?
Ok so who will stand in line for the movie "Candy Land: The search for the great lollypop!" Or my best move i would like to see: Battleship or as they called it Hunt for Red October. Sean Connery - "You sunk my battleship! Well played!"

I miss you mom!
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No on will ever know
But we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store
Since you’ll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you’ll always stay
Personally, I think the Thran (the book) would make the best movie. Sets up for sequels the best as well. I liked that book more than any of the others, and it follows Yawgmoth's rise and him turning into a god and all that.
What i would most like is the most expensive thing and most possibly not able to happen:
take 5 caracters (or 6 if you want an artifact mage to come around) and make so many different movies with overlappings... 6 different movies that happen at the same time but overlap when white mage calls help to green mage to kill the black mage or something....
let them show what magic is about then let them make trilogies from different sets, to start with iceage and continue to lorwyn....
but im very exited about a movie that covers magic

Harold and Kumar go to White Castle with Goyf instead of burgers? I'd watch it.
Daniel Radcliff much better...

The best story in MTG history for a movie IMO? Kamigawa block. Cool character in Toshi and a self-contained storyline (with an open ending to boot).
