Dannik Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Michael Bay considering Ghost Recon movie. I hope this is a duplicate of a post that has been proven to be a bad joke. Posting it here because I don't want to be responsible for this stupidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 NICE CATCH! This is genuine. Move it to a GR forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Moved to the more direct light, sadly. Mind you, Bay's probable vision on the 5th Special Forces is akin to Ubisoft's vision of the Clancy franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpl Ledanek Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Watch, MBay will recycle all those SOF in Transformer movies. If there will be hyper-realistic action and explosions, MBay is the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blame Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Well, the Ghost Recon Alpha wasn't that bad, hopefully the real movie would be better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeealex Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) i'm skeptical, but hoping that they use the old crew (jacobs and gang) as they were a much more diverse lot than the newer ones. Edited June 12, 2013 by Zeealex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I will hope for a good war type move like act of valour or Blackhawk down,, But I expect given the popularity of the "future" type war games out at the moment, we will end up with a GI Joe style si-fi flick !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifaJay Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hi Folks, Just mentioned it here on our local radio station too. We all have a good idea what we would like a Ghost Recon movie to be like in our own way, But I think Hammer's already hit the nail in the head as to the way it may turn out in the end. Lets see how this one goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabellum Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Watch, MBay will recycle all those SOF in Transformer movies. If there will be hyper-realistic action and explosions, MBay is the man. Sadly, you're probably right. If the Transformers films are anything to go by, then a Ghost Recon film by Michael Bay will be a waste of time for anyone who wants something even moderately close to real. As the man himself once said, "I make movies for teenage boys." He'd be better served making a Call of Duty movie, and probably be closer to the spirit of the games.

Cpl Ledanek Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Well, the Ghost Recon Alpha wasn't that bad, hopefully the real movie would be better. are they still going to make more of those? those were pretty good IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMoon Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 You mean you think they will make it like 300? I can kind of see that with a couple of ghosts stacking up ridiculous 'expendables' style body counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RileyFletcher_01 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I don't really remember much of the movie 300, but it WAS history. Leonidas really did hold Thermopylae from an incredibly larger force because he was able to exploit the terrain and position of the enemy, allowing him to easily hold the pass and launch the occasional counter attack on the stretched forces of the Persians. If I recall correctly, they could have kept it up for awhile, but a native showed the Persian leader an alternative path around the defended area. The film's body counts were probably at least proportionate to the real battle. If Captain Mitchell can find a conveniently placed fort with a single entrance then I think he deserves to rack up some kill streaks in the movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoon Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Well 300, as silly as it is at times is actually my third favorite film of all time. But I mean as long as it feels like he earns his kill streaks I'm ok with that. As long as it is not made as a teenage crowd pleaser, summer blockbuster like transformers or armageddon. I quite enjoyed ghost recon alpha (most of it) and I believe there are many interesting themes and highly tense action sequences that could come out of a feature length movie if it was done right. The combination of expert tactics and technology, an unstable near future political climate, the opposing forces military technology of the future, the expansion of unmanned drone technology and the ethical consequences such warfare, if done correctly could make both a briliant action movie and a tense military/war thriller. It would have to be realistic as well and I'm just not convinced Bay can allow himself to do realism anymore. I want combat sequences drawn up and shot like the uprising tracking shot from children of men (my second favorite movie) and not say for instance bad boys 2. What I think we are likely to get is 'modern warfare' style action sequences in which our ghosts sleep walk through every engagement with ###### just blowing up left right and centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat50 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) I was very impressed with "300" too. I saw a little of Transformers on TV and was not crazy about it. If Michael Bay did it in the style of "Black Hawk Down" I'd watch it. Edited June 28, 2013 by wombat50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
