As most of you probably know.. The main new trend in Hollywood is to turn popular Video Games in to Films... For the simply reason that they will already have a large Fan Market before the film is released.

Eg: Tomb Raider, Doom, Reident Evil, Scilent Hill.. HALO... Ect ect..


Most of you are probably already aware the Movie of Far Cry is in production... So this Thread is mainly for people who havn't already heard.

So the main Information...

~Release Date - 2008, No Offical Date Set
~Director - Uwe Boll
~Plot Summery -

"In a mysterious nearby forest, a group of mercenaries are attacked. A scientist, Dr. Krieger, watches this from a secret research facility, obviously pleased with the results of his work, which is the cause of the death (which is unknown) of the mercenaries. In Seattle, a veteran newspaper editor makes arrangements to send his two archrival reporters, Tom Moore and Valerie Constantine, to check out the mysterious reports coming from an island in the Pacific Northwest. Once on the island, it doesn't take long for the duo and their Captain, Jack Carver (Schweiger), to find trouble. The main mercenary commander Maria Sanchez immediately tries to capture them. Valerie and Jack manage to escape but Tom is killed. The mercenaries are hot on their heels and Valerie and Jack argue about their plan. Jack wants to get off the island as quickly as possible by reaching his friend Emilio. Valerie, a seasoned reporter, wants to gather more evidence for her story. After several dramatic chases and an encounter with the strange creatures, Valerie, Jack and Emilio are captured and brought to Kreiger. Krieger wants Valerie to join him in reporting his accomplishments to the world. Meanwhile, in the lab, the creature escapes and tries to kill Jack. Jack and Emilio manage to elude the creature but others in the compound are not as lucky. The creature corners Valerie and she narrowly escapes death as Emilio and Jack reach her just in time. The loss of control sends Sanchez into a fury. Jack and Valerie are pursued by Sanchez as they make a frantic attempt to get off the island and alert the world. Written by Niptuck117

So from what i can gather its pretty much based from the Orignal Far Cry (PC Version), Not Much has been leaked so far... But from what has been said it will deffinetly be a Film to be seen for most Gamers.

( Sorry if this has already been posted some where els on the forum... I had a look but couldnt find any topics on the Movie)

Ive seen some photos of the set, doesnt look that great, and Uwe Boll only produces rubbish from what I've read.

The movie has been discussed before in the Far Cry forum. All such posts will be closed and moved to the off topic forum or deleted.

The movie is not connected with Ubisoft in any way since the rights were purchased from Crytek. Ubisoft would prefer that the topic not be discussed on the Far Cry 2 forum at all.

Thanks. Coops
