Recently I read the epic story of Boatmurdered for the umpteenth time and I couldn't help but think that the rise and fall of Boatmurdered would make a good motion picture. Just as a disclaimer; I'm not saying I, or anyone I know, will make it. I'm just asking here because it seems like the kind of thing you guys'd pick up on!  Any suggestions?

Your clever plan of having an original thought has been foiled. Curses!

It would make a good trash movie, yes. Evil Dead comes to mind, its definition of fun does correlate with Dwarf Fortress for me.

Gah.  Though I must point out that my idea was closer to a Lord of the Rings (as created by Peter Jackson) kind of thing, rather than an animation.

More like Braindead. This has the advantage of being a Peter Jackson movie, too.

I think animation would be pretty great actually, if it were a good style, maybe something like the style in Bronzemurdered.

That reminds me, didn't some Australian gaming magazine have a multi-page comic about DF that was supposed to be available online after a while? Is that up yet?

Here is how I think a DF movie series would go:
Movie one : Metal Smith's son goes on an adventure to kill (SEMI-MEGABEAST) and is rewarded with a special gem.
Movie two: Metal Smith gets a mood, and uses the gem to make a sword. The adventurer goes on a quest to kill (MEGABEAST). He grows such a large fallowing that they begin the construction of a fort.
Movie three : The fort. Going from a mountain, to something fully operational. Several wars, and FUN. The adventurer becomes king.
Movie Four :

 King is over thrown, but the fort hits Hell. Almost everybody dies except the Ex-King. He kills a bunch of the Demons, and sees one of the higher up demons, only to be mortally wounded. In a final attempt to save the world, he uses the Sword from the previous movies to seal hell in one of those underground zombie fortres things. The world is at peace. Except for all of the non HFS related FUN.

That last movie contains serious spoilers! generations of DF-players will be spoilered!

Thats why the movie theater has spoiler tags.

Forget the movies, Dwarf Fortress would make a much better series. Rated +18 and in the comedy section.

No, it would be in the children's section, advertised an education program. ALL CHILDREN SHALL PLAY THE DWARF FORTRESS.
