The LoL movie - a good idea

TheTankDude··2 votes·413 views

Heya ! I know im far from being the 1st or the last one to submit that, but i wanted to see if there realy are as many supporters of the idea as i think there are. In my opinion, The LoL movie is a great idea- everyonr wins. On one hand, riot can earn money big time, since there are tens of millions of potential viewers of this movie. Yes, it wont be easy. There isnt enough story for a full lenght movie in the lore right now, but it could be used as a baseline. If creating a movie solely seems like too much work dor your animators (who are doing incredibly btw), cooperating with a major animator studio is possible. Even then, even on a budget of 100-200milion, you would still have big income. The movie will attract not only LoL players, but also Fantasy genre lovers. (In a matter of fact, you could stretch the story in 2 movies or even in a trilogy, and as long as its well made, it will stillbe watched a lot). On the other hand, you will finaly satisfy your fanbase. I mean, we all love the cinematics, but come on ! Most of us want something bigger. Whats the worst that could happen? Even if it doesnt succeed as much , you would get your money back and proceed on your way. Think big, RIOT. You arent using your potential to the maximum.

Cincerely, Tank

Not enough lore?

lets see ... Katarina and Cassio are sisters ... both with different ways they joined the league ... Same with Kayle and Morganna... Even Nasus and Renekton are brothers ... (these 2 hate each other for sure)

and they end up in the league .. fighting toghers or against each other ....

i've already seen more movies with less storry

Hah true. But did they get famous (san andreas) oh...they did... And still, i think there is a lot more work to be done to make the lore deep enough for a GOOD movie

didn't say it is easy.

to be exactly .. i think there are even to much stories for a single movie ... you have 2 teams meeting (6/10) characters (+ summoners controling them?) you can add politican which try to manipulate summoners for one choice or another .. etc. etc. etc. Maybe champions could be summoners to ... i'd like to see graves "feeding" with tf to punish him.

another line you could follow ... graves and tf .. once partners, now enemies. gp, mf and illaoi

there is realy much storry to tell. the cinematics trailers show, what they can do ( i love this Leona, Ahri trailer facing Darius, Draven and Zyra )

each champion allready has his/her voices...

about the production costs .... make it a https://www.kickstarter.com project

They could take the Demacia vs Noxus war, the war in freljord etc - there are many oportunities!

I cant make a kickstarter I aint got no rights on RIOT stuff, nor will it succeed without advertising

Problem with a League of Legends movie is that it'd probably cost Riot around 10-20 million dollars at least to produce it and put it in theaters. At least. Even with all of their existing infrastructure.

With no promise of returning said costs.

Uhm. With 67 million players MONTHLY, add the sky-high ticket prices and the other Fantasy fans that dont play league, i think the income is almost guaranteed...

No, not really. The movie industry is a vicious one, quite often companies think they have the next big hit or a guaranteed blockbuster and then it ends up forcing the company to shut down.

Their best bet would be to hook up with something like STARZ and do a straight to TV mini-series/movie where they're getting guaranteed cash back, plus then they could also sell it online/in disc format right away.

While a big screen movie would be awesome...it's expensive, advertising is expensive, and then there's the issue of movie theaters choosing not to air it. It'd probably be a "In limited theaters only" type deal, which means it'd make significantly less money than what you might expect.
