I'm Just About Ready to Give Up...

SpyroroxThe2nd · Feb 15, 2010 12:41 AM

Let's face it. It's February 14, and we haven't even seen a TRAILER for this movie. At this rate, it won't be out by April. Remember the original release date of December 2008, then 2009? I'm starting to think it's a hoax. Anyone with proof otherwise, it'd be much appreciated, because I'm pretty much ready to give up on this movie. Here's why I think it's fake:
-The poster has no official proof it's from a company. Posters are super easy to create if have the right stuffon your computer, so anyone could have made it
-Don't you think if Spyro were going to be made into a movie, a bigger company would dive at the chance to get it? It's a million dollar franchise in itself. Velvetoctopus is just too random for me.
-No official cast yet? How can we expect a movie to be ready by april without the voices picked?
I try not to be negative, but I have to face what's real. As of now, I think the chances of this being fake are 65% to 35%

thank you. I really do believe it was a hoax the whole time. different dates, cast, posters, and companys were just keep being thrown at us.

spyrothemuppet · Feb 15, 2010 11:41 PM

like i posted in a topic before the movie is still in pre-production stage acording to a email i recived from velvet octopus after i sent them one of course

in my own opinion and i quote my own
i think they are going to wait to see how well the film
how to train your dragon
is recived in reviews and how much it makes before they put it in production so i think the date april 10th is when they will anounce if they put it in to production and will be released around the time of the next game relese this boosting the spyro name in to the public domane

And Don't forget that

This

Looks exactly like

The persons who made the poster could've just took the idea of the DOTD official poster.

Fireriven · Feb 16, 2010 4:44 PM

I feel like sending an email to the company (the animation picture company) to ask whats happening with the film. At least that way we could be certain whether or not its coming out.

Nydie · Feb 16, 2010 7:01 PM

It could be possible they are working on the animation and are just not sure what they want the voices to be. I mean you can have the script but no voice to go with it. So it is possible it is a hoax. It is also possible it is not. Animation takes a good while.
But if it is a hoax, I think it is funny that they would pick something like SPYRO to sling a hoax about. I mean the Spyro fandum is no where near as big as a buncha the other fandums.
But what I find most hoax-ie about this movie is the fact that they have cutscenes in the games. I mean you could just snap all those cutscenes together and have a movie right there. So I think the chances of this movie being a hoax are around 45%. So pushing back the dates over a movie that could be made from cutscenes. God.
Well. But if this movie is REAL... and is being made by the "same producers as Eragon" as it says on the poster I have seen... It will just flunk. So it is a fail fail either way you look at it.

FearDragoness · Feb 16, 2010 8:20 PM

Well, we would only complain if the movie came out and it had been rushed. We all know what a rushed Spyro looks like - Enter the Dragonfly. But like I've said before, I'll only believe it when a trailer is out or some official company starts talking about it, or if it's featured in magazines, something of that sort.

THEKIDWITHAKNIFE. · Feb 16, 2010 9:45 PM

Well whatever they do I hope they don't rush it! And most of all that the producers of ERAGON don't slaughter it like Eragon. if they R even doing this movie... if this movie is even going to be made at all! Well, I can hope can't I. I think that Spyro has really come a long way and that the franchise really deserves a movie...A good one. Man I can rant for hours about how much eragon was destroyed. but I still hope this movie comes out. I honestly am still holding out hope for it and, after all this time, am still pretty exited for it. Well ...whoever does this movie, and if no movie then sombody should totally make one!, please...PLEASE do a good job...for spyro, cause the purple guy deserves it! neutral

~cornys~ · Feb 17, 2010 2:42 AM

I've given up hope and it was December 2009 when that hapened lol..

Looking forward to November 2010 now for what should be a new game.. find out about that around April probably if there is going to be one smile

After that if nothing's doing I'm gonna have to give up on Spyro and just hope to keep it alive in fanfiction.

Rurikredwolf · Feb 17, 2010 2:06 PM

I personally hope they work on a good GAME rather than a movie. They are NOT READY.

FearDragoness · Feb 17, 2010 2:53 PM

Yeah, it would be nice to see what's going on in the Dragon World after Malefor died. Perhaps a new enemy is on the horizon. But I hope they don't bring back enemies again -_-

~cornys~ · Feb 17, 2010 8:09 PM

Yeah, just focus on games, the movie always did sound like a bad idea to me.. though at first I was a bit excited..

SR, are you that confident in the "OFFICAL" upcomming movie... I'd change it to myth lol

Yeah but look closely. The clouds are diff. hmm

Aicebo · Feb 18, 2010 3:06 AM

^well of course the posters are different, but PYROX just meant that it's the same position and kind of rock that he's standing on.

PYROX · Feb 18, 2010 11:12 PM

To be honest, I'd rather want a new Spyro game than a Movie..
I know a lot of games are currently a lot being filmed..
For example Dragon Ball Z. Who would've expected a real movie of it with REAL humans? I know it sounds cool and all, but I already started a topic earlier about this if people would've rather wanted a game instead of a movie. The most of the people chose for a new Spyro game.

It almost looks like the persons that did it put the clouds on a different layer and moved them over. The movie poster could have been EASILLY photoshopped.

I also notice it says "From the producer of Eragon"... shouldn't it be producerS?

cynderfan · Feb 19, 2010 10:15 PM

I ditched most of my hope on the 14th of February.
I think that poster is a fake, more than anything.
A very detailed fake.

Electricspyro2009 · Feb 19, 2010 10:42 PM

its the 20th now it would be here already if it was coming out in February 19 or 18 whatever it says

Kimbia28 · Feb 20, 2010 12:03 AM

It's actually quite funny how much hype is going on about this movie...wow...just wow...

SpyroroxThe2nd · Feb 20, 2010 12:50 AM

@Nydie,
Good spotting the producer "s" thing! Your right, every poster I've ever seen always had the "s". I'm about 80% positive that poster is fan made.

DarkMaster · Feb 20, 2010 5:37 AM

Yea, i kinda agree, it has been a while and i've been to the movies lately and no trailer, so unless there is a movie producer who is working on the spyro movie reading this and ready to prove that its not a hoax, then im pretty much giving up.

Andy123 · Feb 25, 2010 4:14 PM

most games are not even ment to be movies. I mean, how do you put spyro into a movie. He finds a gardian, gains new power, finds a gardian, gains new power, finds a gardian, gains new power, ect.

Little more to it than that.

Some games can be made into movies (Like Lara Croft!), but games that are pretty much already a movie in cutscenes... I agree with you 100% there.

Yes exactly. Or better, if you look carefully, the picture in the background has been mirrored It's easily to find a pic around the net or what ever, and make it to mirror. And the 3D shape is horrible compared to the DOTD model, of the Spyro model itself. Anyone could've done that in a simple 3Ding program. I mean, come on. It's finally a spyro MOVIE. At least they'd put more effort in the promo poster!

VulcanMetalDragon · Feb 26, 2010 11:09 AM

I'm starting to think this thing is just a big hoax that got a lucky start and snowballed into something huge. Lets face it. There are no facts to this movie whatsoever. If they couldnt make a trailer by now, then it's obviously a fake. There has been no confirmation on this whatsoever either by the creators. There should be SOMETHING out for now.

As for the poster, it sets me uneasy for multiple factors:

1. The model of Spyro doesnt look exactly right. His front left paw(His view) looks like it's 'hovering' slightly. It looks like it could've been made in a 3D rendering program, example: Blender. His eyes unease me, but i dont know if that is something I might add.
2. The birds in the sky look copied multiple times, shrunk and rotated slightly. easily photoshopped 2 figures and done the above.
3. The opening sentence seems on from someplace that would be good for catching eyes. the wording like 'Producer', said by one of the members above, just doesnt seem right. It's unlikely to be one producer on this movie. Also "Based on the Hugely successful Spyro video game fanchise" doesnt seem like a professional way of stating it.
4. The "3D" added to the title doesnt seem it would be professionally done. If anything, they would've put time into the "3D" adding and made it a bit more Spyroish, to match the title.

As for the actual movie, it really doesnt seem like it might get off the ground. Even if it is in production, there has to be proof on my part.

Until then, I'm totally agnostic about this, as in, I dont believe it exsists, but if shown proof that it exsists, I will believe it. But, I hope it doesnt, or it will greatly ruin the franchise.
