This can't be legit can it?
Fixed url Maybe.

Can't get the link to work. However I have never heard of a movie.

OK It works now .


MICHAEL CAINE+JAMES FOX=SHADOW RUN=DVD=

It's not related to the game, if that's what you mean.

Is it Shadow Run? Yes.. Is it Shadowrun? No, doesn't appear to be...

Did some roundabout searching and found this:
http://w1.860.telia.com/~u86010716/shadow.html
Apparently it's a 90's gangster type movie, but it doesn't seem to have any orks, magic or cyberware. It is legit as a name, though, because it's Shadow_Run, not shadowrun.

Ah OK . It just freaked me out when I saw that , because I remeber all of the fantasy casting threads .

IMDB gives a pretty poor review of it (the one comment says it's really bad, anyway). "Shadow Run" seems to be a term directed toward a vehicle being out of radio contact with base on part of its route. In the movie, at least.

I remember seing one of NeoJudas/K's streaming videos of a "What's Up With Shadowrun" seminar given at GenCon about two years ago, when Mike Mulvihill was still in charge. I remember him answering a direct question regarding a possible Shadowrun film, and he said that the rights had not yet been sold but that there were some parties that were interested, and that FASA would await a script proposal, and wanted to keep a tight reign on the approval process so that they wouldn't create another disaster like Dungeons & Dragons was (or Underworld for that matter.) I guess the talks didn't amount to anything, or got lost in the shuffle when FASA decided to close its doors.

Check the FAQ. If my memory serves me right, there was something in there about it.

Actually, right at the moment there is a contest running in Germany to produce a SR short film (be it life action, animated, whatever).
Information can be found on shadowrun.de (that is, if you understand German).

Yeah, the FAQ says Wizkids is looking into it. They need to start by getting a good script, and do whatever it takes not to make another D&D.

Interesting.

I could see how the mainstream public might be confused...

"They're elves? What's an elf?"

"You know, those things from Lord of the Rings? Kinda like old-school Vulcans."

"Oh...right. But with a SMG?"

<imagines a big budget, a plot, and someone with an SR3 book...>

So, who would you cast as the archetype characters?

Who would you cast as the Merc? Or the Sam? Or the Face?

There's another protracted thread with actors suggested for various roles.

-Siege

There is? My bad. Can you link it?

I can't like a threat to save my life, but this is the title of the thread:

"who's on my team, the celebrity I choose..."

Punch that into the search engine and browse.

-Siege

Edit: Freud notwithstanding, that should read "link a thread"...

Siege, how about

"if you don't find this threat funny, I'm going to hunt you down and cut out your tongue"
