What Scene do you want to see on film?????

Post by much2phat »

For me, the scene I want to see most on film is when the Raver Posessed Giant slaughters everyone in Seareach. It would be from the Bloodguards point of view, opening the huge doors of each room and seeing a Giant sitting in his chair with half of a head, brains & blood congealing around his feet. All the women and children, I dont think mainstream America is ready for how horrible the people of the land suffer. That was a scene that has haunted me in my dreams for years.
And the Bloodguard realize that each corpse is fresher than the last, and they finally spot Satansfist churning the ocean with his fragment of the Illearth Stone.

Man this shit is gonna be hot!

What would you all like to see???????

I would love to see the scene in the end of Illearth War when Elena battles a certain someone who calls her a fool. (I don't know what the rules for spoilers are in this forum.) :P

I should hope anyone who's looking through here would have read the series by now - as long as you're not spoiling anything from Runes, I wouldn't worry overmuch.

The scene I'd love to see most would be the Ranyhyn rearing to Covenant - how many trainers does it take to get forty horses to rear in unison? I suppose if they found enough circus or trick-trained horses that were used to working with other horses...

Other scenes:

-Elena and Kevin ( :P I said it! )
-army/battle scenes from Illearth War, especially Doom's retreat and the end of the forced march
-Andelain!
-Ramen tending the Ranyhyn
-running Ranyhyn (yeah, it's simple, but I'm a sucker for running horses)
-Foamfollower, Covenant and Hotash Slay

From the Second Chrons:
-the fight over guardianship of the One Tree
-Covenant's Dead in Andelain
-Nom (Oh no, I said it! *hides*)
"We probably could have saved ourselves, but we were too damned lazy to try very hard... and too damn cheap." - Kurt Vonnegut

"Now if you remember all great paintings have an element of tragedy to them. Uh, for instance if you remember from last week, the unicorn was stuck on the aircraft carrier and couldn't get off. That was very sad. " - Kids in the Hall

I think it's safe to assume that most people here have at least read the first two trilogies. It would be insane to spoiler everything.

Yeah...the fight between Brinn and the Guardian would be awesome.

Along with the scene with Covenant's dead (which would be awesome), a hilarious scene I would really want to see is the scene between Kevin and Linden. Heh, I don't remember why exactly, but that scene was great. I think it was the whole unexpectedness of Kevin showing up to yell at Linden, who had no friggen clue what was really going on at that point. That along with the overall humorously jerkish qualities of Kevin, heh.-jay

By the way, am I the only one who finds it odd that SRD keeps refering to them as "Covenant's Dead". It just seems like such a strange way to describe people. "Yeah, I don't really care what their names are anymore. They're just my Dead."

Why does everyone go for the spectacular?!?!

What I am dying to see is Covenant and Foamfollower on the Soulsease.

I want to see Covenant revealing his ring in the Close.

I want to see Hile turn livid as he discovers Covenant's past.

I want to see the old healer say "mercy".

Etc. etc.

Here's something I'm not looking forward to seeing... Looking at Covenant's festering mouth wound that he had for the entire book of the Power that Preserves. Heh.-jay

What I want to see is the Dance of the Wraiths in Andelain.
I want to see the look on Atiaran's face as she realizes they are there in time. That was probobly the last time that woman ever smiled.

The scene that wasn't written.....Bannor going out of Revelstone to fight Korik. If done right, that could be the most powerful thing ever filmed.
