To be more precise: A Twisted Metal movie is not possible to make without alinating fans.
I've wanted to say that for so long but never did because I wanted to figure out if there is some way to make a TM movie that would please all TM fans who have a favorite car/character (not ro mention I've been away from the site for quite some time). Not to mention just being fair to the cars/characters. Strangely, I've never seen anyine mention it before. Honestly, how does anyone, be it Hollywood or the fanmade, make a TM film that's going to be faithful and satisfying? I don't even think Christopher Nolan could tackle such a project (or whoever else anyone thinks is great). Every time you play as a car/character, that's ONE MOVIE with a different scenario. TM2, for example, has 15 characters (including bosses). THAT'S 15 MOVIES! A video game can get away with this, however, because its a different scenario per character where they win and ALL of the other characters lose. As you can see, there's a great dilemma here with TM. How can you make all of the characters win (live) and lose (die) at the same time? Again, it's impossible. Despite this, it seems fans still dream of the possibility of one day seeing the unadmitted impossible movie (even writing movie scripts where ONLY ONE CHARACTER WINS. Ugh!
). Granted, it would be very cinematic; but character and story wise, it can't be done with proper treatment.
Also, I realize there have been talks of a TM movie in the past with like Avi Arad as producer or whatever; but that was eons ago... and I think I know why. It's as I've been saying: it's impossible. And I'm sure they realize this and it's why we're not hearing anymore about it. Likely, they were just gauging people's reaction to the announcement around the time of TMPS3's release. Why? Because maybe... just maybe... with enough excitement, they could go ahead and alienate a lot of TM fans by only allowing, say, Sweet Tooth to win. Of course, if that ever happened, it would need to be called Sweet Tooth the movie, not Twisted Metal. But it must not have been enough excitement amongst fans for them to go out on a limb and make another crap video game movie with TM this time.
Honestly, the only way I can see solving this dilemma would be to make about 15 TM movies where each one focuses in a different car/character as the winner. But given that the popularity of TM isn't the highest of sorts, IMO, we could never have a crazy thing like that happen. It would be difficult to have 1 film, let alone 15. So the next thing would be to stuff about 15 mini movies inside one big 90min - 2hr movie. But, truth be told, if we were to have it like that, then we might as well just have another a new TM game come out altogether because that's what TM is: a bunch of mini movies inside one package. Albeit, a playable package.
Anyways, that's just my opinion. But I'd still like to know: Does anyone else agree with me or are there some still thinking that there is a TM movie in the future that stands a chance at satisfying everyone; or at least most everyone? I'd like to know because of course I still like the idea; regardless of the possibility or impossibility...
