intresting
-
Interesting is an understatement.
-
i might have to keep an eye out for that
EDIT: now ive had chance to view the trailer, i will definitely be watching it!
-
looks intersting very intersting
-
agreed, very interresting
-
Wont let me Download the trailer XD
-
It's on youtube, search "Thrawn Trilogy". Maker is CreateStarWars
-
Just saw the trailor and it looked freaking awesome!
-
the main concerns i have are:
- how closely will it follow the story of the books
- how accurate will it be
- the title they have on the trailer is 'Heir Of The Empire' - whereas the name of the book is 'Heir To The Empire' (hopefully this was just a mistake)
- how they will split it up for release/downloads - by book? chapter?
-
All I know is that it looked awesome
-
holy that is gonna be
SO TOTALLY WICKED
:D :D :D :D ;D ;D ;D ;D :o :o :o :laugh: :laugh:

- how closely will it follow the story of the books
They seem to be folowng it quite closely, though we will not, of course, be able to read any of the characters thoughts like in the book.
- the title they have on the trailer is 'Heir Of The Empire' - whereas the name of the book is 'Heir To The Empire' (hopefully this was just a mistake)
Many of the staff are Polish, or appear to have non-English names. It is possibly the direct translation of a foreign title.
- how they will split it up for release/downloads - by book? chapter?
I'm pretty sure it's by book so these'll be full length-ish movies... Just look at the trailer, it hints that several of the chapters are done.
That's just my opinion though....
-
the trailer is also on the video section of my website so you can check it out there as well

there is quite a bit of thought in the books though, i wonder how they will portray it in the film, perhaps they could vocalise some of it - but things like the Force communication between Luke, C'Boath, Mara and Leia they couldnt

4 from Poland, 5 from the USA, 1 from England and 1 from Korea at the moment

i suppose, i hope they've got quite a bit done, it would be a shame if we have to wait years for it to be done
-
Amen to that
-
Isn't Lucasfilms going to produce a live action TV series, With esthetically the same story line?
-
Actually, the force communication would be like the Obi-Wan "Use the force, Luke" in the Death Star trench.
-
or when luke was hanging from cloud city
-
i suppose it could be done like that, although there is a lot more force communication in this trilogy than in either of the two official trilogies.
the 'Progress' section looks a bit empty at the moment, hopefully they've got a bit more that they havent released screens of yet.
-
I hope they add those soon
-
?
-
we are hoping they add more screens to the createstarwars website soon meyer y,know the peeps that are making heir to the empire as a film
-
ah yes. I was just wondering that word ditto. I didn't know what you meant by it.
-
ah yes. I was just wondering that word ditto. I didn't know what you meant by it.
it means repeats the statement/argument
they have some screens in the progress, but its not much, it just looks like the first bit from the book - i like the look of their title crawl though
-
yep it looked good.
-
from the message board on the website, there is some info:
Not even one scene from the trailer will be placed in the movie.
That?s because the trailer was made in 1080 x 420 px, and the movie will have a resolution of 1920 x 810 px, and also because we?d like to make those scenes look better.
The project is divided on books -> chaters -> scenes -> camera takes. The first task before makin? shots for a scene is to complete all the models needed in it. After that, we divide a scene on camera takes, and when it?s done, we add sounds and music.
Rune Jensen asked how far are we. The answer is - at the beginnin?.
When it will be finished? It depends on you.
Help us promote our project by placin? banners (from "Support us" section) on as many websites as possible.

Mine wont load. My computer is up to date....
-
First I have to apology for necroposting. I would just like to know if there is any word of the progress of this task?
-
On the site, there is no visible sign of any progress, except there are more people on the staff list, and more comments on the message board. It looks like they are planning on opening a forum to make the project more accessible to supporters.
-
I hope they do that.
-
In fact, on the message board, one of the staff members puts a link to the forums - although he says they arent finished and that isnt there final URL..
