    But how will the warrior return Griswold's 500 pound anvil for a magical sword if he can't get back out?

    It's going to be really taxing on his gold if he needs to keep buying town portal scrolls.

    Diablo: A One-Act

    INT. HELL

    Gagranar the Warrior fells a mighty beastie, its wings collapsing on the stony and fiery floor of Hell, while the Sorceress Chrystynya and the Rogue Pat look on.

    Gagranar: O! Look at this mighty beastie I hath felled with mine King's Sword of Haste. Thank thee to the gods in the heavens that I was wearing this hacked indestructible Godly Plate of the Whale and am adorned with Obsidian Rings of the Zodiac, for without these artifacts we most certainly would have perished thus and would be eternal slaves in the eternal torment of the eternal fires of eternal Hell under the eternal Diablo.

    Pat to Chrystynya (aside): Chrys, must he say that after EVERY monster we fight?

    Chrystynya to Pat (aside): Foul wench, bite thy tongue and keep thy pickeths in thy pack before I raise a conflagration about thy head!

    Pat to Chrystynya (aside): Just checking.

    The adventurers do walk on amid the labyrinthine and fiery walls fueled by the hatred of many horrid beasties paying homage to Diablo.

    Gagranar: O! Yon thither see that there dost thou? He points ahead into the darkness.

    Pat: Wha-?

    Chrystynya: -SPEAK NOT TO THE MIGHTY GAGRANAR IN THAT TONE, WENCH! Dearest brave knight of the non-knavish kind, I beseech you point out to me yet again what it is thine eyes hast seen so mine eyes can glimpse that which thine eyes hast seen.

    Gagranar: As you wish, witch. He points again, his bulging biceps drawing the attention of Chrystynya.

    Chrystynya meekly puts her hand on his ginormous arm, fixated on its manly musculature.

    Chrystynya: I see. I see, o mighty warrior! Canst thou not takest me there with thee on thy quest to uncover what the thing might be that thine eyes hast seen?

    Gagranar: Indeed, mine eyes have seen whatst thou and thy legs shall us carry forth into the Hellblaze forthwith on our quest to kill the mighty Diablo!

    Pat: Groans, shakes her head. Jesus Christ...

    Chrystynya: Let us go forth then, brave sire, and I shall be among thee.

    Gagranar: Aye.

    The team then doth walk henceforth to a dead-end upon which is a chest of the unlockedeth variety.

    Chrystynya: O! Look, it is a chest, of the unlockedeth variety. Shallst we openst itst?

    Gagranar: Indeed. Let the Rogue do it.

    Pat: But the chest isn't locked!

    Chrystynya: YOU WILL NOT SPEAK TO BEEFY MCHOTTETH IN THAT TONE, VILE WHORE OR I WILL WARP THEE TO A NUNNERY!

    Gagranar: No need to be rash, Sorceress.

    Chrystynya: Looking down, dejectedly. I see. I doth apologize if I doth mispokenth.

    Pat: Look, your verb tenses are all- Nevermind. Here, I'll open it.

    Pat walks over and opens the chest of the unlocked variety and inside is a single gold coin.

    Gagranar: What chance luck, to find a chancy gold piece in a place such as this!

    Chrystynya: Looking at Gagranar's codpiece, sighs. Aye...


    CUT TO DIABLO

    Diablo: RARRRRR


    CUT TO PARTY

    Gagranar: O! Look, a mighty beastie up ahead. Let us fight! Runs ahead.

    Chrystynya: Gathering her robes about her. Wait! I shall come too thither with thee! She runs off too.

    Pat sighs and saunters ahead.

    FADE TO BLACK

    FADE FROM BLACK. USE STOCK FOOTAGE.

    Gagranar the Warrior fells another mighty beastie, its wings collapsing on the stony and fiery floor of Hell, while the Sorceress Chrystynya and the Rogue Pat look on.

    Gagranar: O! Look at this mighty beastie I hath felled with mine King's Sword of Haste...

    i just hope to god they dont make the actors wear the stock armor sets in the game (green robe for sorc, loin cloth and paint for barbarian, etc...)

    In this setting, Tim Curry would be perfect as the Lord of Terror. They wouldn't even need to lower his voice. Just hand him a top hat and a monocle, and we're set.

    They should go the minimalist route and make it so it takes place on a single empty stage with the actors just in normal clothing with a single 1980ish synthesizer providing the score. Also no props.

    They should just cast the most annoying pre-teen/teen actor ever and include the sequence where it shows Wirt's leg bidding adieu to the rest of his body.

    It would be great if the Rock would play the sorcerer. Then, it'd be a running joke through the whole movie about how even though he's so muscular, he's a wizard and can't physically fight well. Then at the end, he punches Diablo in the face and kills him.

    Why does it seem like they keep picking games that wouldn't translate well without a lot of changes to be a movie, when they could use Second Sight. Sure, it's not as well known, but it was a solid game with a really well written story behind it.

    You just answered your own question. The whole point of doing a videogame movie is to cash in on an established brand-name.

    Besides, fuck Second Sight. What they really need to do is make Thief into an animated movie. And have Stephen Russell voice Garrett.

    Video Game movies make me embarassed to be a video game player. Even the "better" ones, like Mortal Kombat, are cheesy b-movies that you laugh at, not with.

    Further consider the genre. I like fantasy, alot. But you can count the number of good fantasy movies on your fingers.

    Mortal Kombat Annihilation is one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life, and I'm a huge MST3k fan. D:

    Diablo: The Musical


    PROLOGUE
    EXT. TOWN SQUARE
    Principals: WARRIOR, SORCERESS, ROGUE, DECKARD CAIN, BLACKSMITH, WIRT
    Chorus: RANDOM TOWNSFOLK, TRIO (choir)

    Fade from black. Action occurs near enterance to catacombs.

    WARRIOR
    I see a demon...

    CHORUS
    A demon?!

    WARRIOR
    ...standing in the dark.
    I see a demon...

    CHORUS
    A demon?!

    WARRIOR
    ...with its bite worse than its bark.
    And it wields a sword and implement
    Both of which are meant to cause torment

    SORCERESS
    And the evil that they represent
    Is one we hope to circumvent

    ROGUE
    Yes, the town is very malcontent
    For Diablo's reign they do resent

    CHORUS
    And he must be slain!
    Yes, the Evil One.
    Oh do not refrain,
    From what must be done.
    Yes he must be slain!
    Yes it must be done.
    Speak to Deckard Cain.
    He's the wisest one!

    DECKARD CAIN
    I'm the wisest man in all the land
    I can identify each and every band
    Just bring all treasure here to me
    And I'll describe them for a lowly fee!
    For to battle with the demons down
    In the pits and darkest underground
    You will need to wear some magic rings
    And remember what our choir sings:

    TRIO (choir)
    Take your swords and spells to Hell below
    And do not let fear or feelings show
    For Diablo, red, horned Lord of Hell
    Can but sense when you're not feeling well!

    WARRIOR
    Do not fear, provincial residents.
    For we shall uproot his residence

    ROGUE
    Yes, we'll slay his evil presidents
    And in doing set some precidents!

    SORCERESS
    And I'll blast him with apocalypse
    And we'll bring his life to full eclipse

    BLACKSMITH
    Mighty fighter, take this iron sword,
    For to battle all the demon horde

    WARRIOR
    Oh I thank thee, this was crafted well
    And with it I shall many beasties fell!

    DECKARD CAIN
    And to you my humble, sorceress,
    Please use this scroll with much finesse

    TRIO (choir)
    And though we hate your thieving acts,
    Dearest Rogue please take these magic slacks!

    ROGUE and SORCERESS
    Oh thank you all, we'll use these right
    As we go below into Hell and fight!

    DECKARD CAIN
    And on that, my dearest journeymen,
    We bid you well till we meet again!

    WIRT
    And don't worry I die very soon
    You can count on that, you big buffoon

    CHORUS
    Yes indeed go but come back unscathed
    And in glory you will all be bathed

    WARRIOR
    So we go

    ROGUE
    We do

    SORCERESS
    And we'll fight

    ROGUE
    For you

    WARRIOR
    And be back

    ROGUE
    We will

    SORCERESS
    After all

    ROGUE, WARRIOR and SORCERESS
    We kill!
