Rallan wrote:So have there ever been any updates on the Rifts movie beyond "Bruckheimer's decided to retain the option for a while longer"? Because there's been nary a peep of official news anywhere on the internet since the deal was first announced, or any followup on what the original creative team were supposed to be doing, or any indication that the Rifts movie is anything more than one of various nifty ideas that Bruckheimer's keeping for a rainy day.

Not at all. Keep in mind for example that it was George Lucas did such crap fests as HOWARD THE DUCK!
Don't judge a director or writter by one movie.

It is actually the movie he dreamed to write and he's an old RP vet. He was writting away last I heard. Email him and show your support, he's actually a really nice guy.
E-mail him?! how do you suggest we e-mail him? It never occured to me to do so or that it would 1) be made public (the e-mail that is) and 2) that an e-mail from some stranger would be anything but "delete" or "spam boxed".

That's how I found him.

RMT: Thanks, I’m glad you liked it. I worked very hard on the script and I’m proud of the result. Scene to scene, sequence to sequence, the script differs widely from the novel. The script isn’t, nor will the resultant film be, the novel. They’re wholly different forms. I think what remains in the script is a trueness to the tone and theme of the novel which, in my opinion, is what the best adaptations are anyway.
Am I the only one who is now a little nervous about him writing for the RIFTS movie?

Nope not at all, I have faith, Rawson knows the material and he knows what direction JB Films want to go.

Silas wrote:How can anybody, having seen his recent "movies", ever think Michael Bay could do a RIFTS movie justice? I mean come on, the man is all about SFX and sweaty cleavage. No real acting involved. His idea of a great movie would be two hours of exploding sweaty cleavages and running, screaming people with close-ups or slo-mo gymkata flips done by the lame "star".
The RIFTS movie would require someone with actual talent who would want to see the film reflect the actual content of the books, instead of what the director thinks the books should have. That rules Bay out right there. He'd have a love interest for the main character with exposed cleavage within the first ten minutes.
*hires a hitman to remove the stain known as Michael Bay from any future equation*
