Legend of Spyro film has been cancelled

Scarlett-Fear-Dragon · Apr 05, 2010 7:36 AM

Few - what a relief! Now we don't have to get another tide of 9-year-old n00bs ready to kick off when you say that Cynder sucks something other than Spyro's d!ck.

Now can somebody please sticky this and post the news on SpyroWorld and Wikipedia?

Alright...I'm gonna say this once...Because SOMEONE has to...

You guys...quite frankly, need to get a life...If a Spyro movie is the worst thing that could ever happen to you, then I'd hate to see you in real life situations..

This fandom is almost as bad as the Sonic one (another fandom I am, honestly, ashamed to be a part of..Mostly because of the fans themselves.)...Seriously...At the slightest bit of change, you enter rage mode....You complain about the new games because 'it's not the old Spyro'...Dude...I love the Spyro games too...I love ALL of them! but I don't go around complaining about stupid, insignificant little things like a spoilt child.

Things change! You just gotta deal with it and move on! The new games and a movie will NOT destroy the fandom for everyone. It's over obsessive FANS that will destroy the fandom for everyone! Heck, it's already happening to the Sonic franchise! and don't worry, I gave THEM a big lecture too.

If you don't like the new games; don't play them. Don't wanna see the movie; then don't! Simple! You gain nothing from constantly hating on it and insulting people who happen to like the new games and are willing to give the movie a freakin chance!

I for one don't believe this lil 'news'...Especially if the email was written like THAT...Call the grammer police.

Don't like what I got to say? Tough. I ain't being nasty. Just being brutally honest. Deal with it.

Over obsessive? No offense, but none of us here are being over obsessive over anything. It's just that some of us are disappointed the film got cancelled and some of us are quite relieved...like myself. I was personally hoping for a Spyro film but at the same time I can say that I'm also relieved that it got cancelled because for all we know this Spyro 'movie' was most likely a rumor to begin with.

But, PLEASE, don't compare us to the Sonic fandom! I'm pretty sure that everyone on here has a life. And you know, some people hate the new Spyro games because they've tried them and don't like them! Notice how I'm emphasizing "tried" because unlike 80% of the Sonic fandom-who squeal to keep Sonic in the same crappy condition he's been in for almost a complete decade-actually try new things! Don't get me wrong on how I'm going about expressing myself, I'm just saying what I notice and have noticed on a (almost) daily basis... smile

Its because it was a Korean company, so the guy probably used google translate or something, but i've already mentioned this.

Personally, I had a feeling this project was going to not work out due to how it was being handled. Face it everyone none of the official owners of Spyro know what the hell they are doing with our beloved franchise hero. The reboot was okay but something went wrong behind the scenes otherwise why did Chris Wilson leave like he did. The storyline of games being turned into a film is rather backwards. A film should have been done BEFORE the LOS games were made or at least have a film made and then have a game released with the game like normal films do. And mark my words if you are not happy now then just wait and see what they are going to do next when it comes to this franchise. The announcement on the next game is indeed coming but let's just say it will be a surprise....

Whether it will make everyone happy or just make many fans just want to scream is still yet to be seen. I hope they are able to continue the storyline after the way DOTD ended. I know there is a way to continue the story but let's just wait and see what they come up with.

I agree, the LOS series had the story to become a movie, only not in the state the games were in. The story didn't "flow" and making a movie using the games would just be asking for trouble. Also, the only game of the series which has enough depth to be turned into a movie is DOTD, because the other games lack the depth needed to make a film out of it. Lets just hope that the next games they make have a good, in-depth story line, or they could make a film and then release the games afterward, like you said, because it would work better that way. big_smile

HAHAHAHAHAH

So much for 'official' lolololol.

That wasn't totally spam. I'm so glad it is no more, actually. I was slowly beginning to think that it would be a painfully cringeworthy peformance of a film.

Thanks. I am glad someone agrees with me on how the story has been somewhat mishandled aka mangled. There is a major problem with the storyline as a whole. It feels... I don't know.... what is the right word.... hmmm.... I know... RUSHED! I think this the problem with the whole LOS trilogy. The reason it didn't flow as well as it should have is likely due to the fact that Chris Wilson and his team didn't have enough time to properly flesh out the new world of LOS. Also, do you get the feeling that whole chunks of the game, cinematics and various other important parts of the story were left out aka cut due to production time constrains.

For example, in the Eternal Night there should have been a side story about Cynder seeking redemption. The game should have alternated back and forth between Spyro and Cynder allowing for better character development of both key characters since they both are destine to defeat Malefor together in the final installment/chapter of the trilogy. I get the feeling that Chris and his team may have wanted to do something similar to my idea with Cynder but didn't have the time to work on it.

Then there is Gaul, the main villain of this chapter of the 3 part game saga. He was poorly developed just like Malefor was in the the final chapter of the trilogy. What is his back story? How did he and Malefor come to be Malefor's first general? And so on... You get my point. Every villain has to have a starting point somewhere. I mean they just aren't born that way. At some point even Gaul had to have been an innocent individual who chose to become a villain due to something in his life affecting him be it a tragedy or something else. The trilogy lacked any compelling villains. The same could be said for Malefor. He was suppose to be the MAIN VILLAIN of this whole trilogy but in the end he was rather bland and boring. I was hoping for there to be a connection between Malefor and the Chronicler but alas there didn't seem to be one.

And speaking of the Chronicler... his introduction was not handled as well as I thought it could have been. It felt like he was tacked on character to give the storyline of the second game a focus. Then there was the special element of Time manipulation that he taught to Spyro. The only use of the power was to freeze Spyro, Cynder and Sparx so that they would survive at the climatic end of Eternal Night. This power never again appeared in the 3rd installment of the trilogy. What a waste of a cool new ability. I could go on and on but what is the point... This reboot was rushed into development for the 10 anniversary/birthday of Spyro and that is ultimately the sad truth everyone. The whole storyline needed more developmental time then it got. There was a story in there somewhere but I think it just got altered to the point it no longer was the same idea that Chris and his team initially started out with. What a shame...

Chris Wilson and Mike Graham probably didn't have enough time to do a full storyline because of the merger between Activision and Sierra that was going to take place. They started ANB after SL, to do the LoS game trilogy before the merger between Activision and Sierra. If the merger was held off, then the trilogy would've been complete.

If they did try to continue the LoS games after the merger happened, taking their time and adding what's missing in the story which makes the games longer, Activision might've done something stupid, like stopping the trilogy from completing, and leaving one major cliff-hanger and plothole in the recreation of the Spyro franchise.

I'm pretty much confused now. The movie has been cancelled yet now I see this on youtube.

Can anyone clarify?

Aura24 · Apr 11, 2010 9:57 PM

It's old. They stopped the production of the movie sometime in 2009.

Dark Fury Dragon · Apr 11, 2010 9:59 PM

Chris Wilson was reassigned after Dawn of the Dragon to the creation of some other game that is not Spyro.

The reason for the order of release is a movie company thought the games' story had potenial, so they bought the rights to make a movie. Sierra had never planned to make a movie, so the games came first.
