in a way it wouldn't be a video game conversion as it is actually a comic book translation

That might work. I mean, most recent comic book movies haven't totally sucked.

They are making a Neverhood movie (and Doug TenNapel is involved).

but then again they are superhero transitions and were live action (sam and max wouldn't work in that environment)

Do you think we could borrow the Comic-Con suit?

I didn't mean a movie based on the game, I meant a full leangth adventure game that comes after a few seasons of the actual game, just CALL it Sam and Max: The Movie.

ShaggE · 09/01/2007, 05:35 pm

OOh, then we can have Sam & Max: The Movie Tie-in Marketing Extravaganza, where a ton of tiny Sam and Max minigames are released :P

Christovsky · 09/06/2007, 06:35 pm

There's no reason to assume straight-off that an idea wouldn't work in any particular medium, but I expect Sam and Max doesn't have enough substance for a movie, which isn't a criticism. It's just that the stories are a pretty constant stream of quick-fire jokes, and that kind of thing is best appreciated in short bursts.

Surely you've seen Airplane?

I edited your post to correct your oversight of a perfect joke opportunity. And don't call me Shirley.

Perhaps it would be better to have a bunch of seemingly-random stories that, in fact, all connect at the end in a surprise twist? I'm thinking along the lines of Big Fish but more ambiguous and more Sam and Max.

Maybe. I can't help but think of the third Harry Potter film in which lots of disjoint events are all going on at once and it's horribly messy, but that doesn't mean it can't be done well by a competent director. Big Fish is a good counter-example, although slightly different from mine because the stories mostly happen one at a time rather than all at once.

Easy way to get a good Sam N Max movie made and released, do it machinima style!

Sure you can't make any money off it that way, or maybe you can I don't know, but they've done a killer job with the humor thus far both in the games and the website shorts.

As for a "The Movie" game, well it's been done. I really like the episodic format, gives me something to look forward to each month of my dreary - oh sorry I missed my medication. Anyway if the episodes ever get to a point where they are to large and complex to release once a month, or to large of a physical download to handle reasonably, then yeah it might be a better option to wait a while and get one big game a year, but I think it's probably a little unreasonable to expect one between seasons.

Silly Bob · 09/16/2007, 11:30 am

Yeah that makes sense, Also, i kind of came the realisation, that Sam and Max Season 1, is sort of the series based on the movie, the movie being Hit the Road.

daltysmilth · 10/08/2012, 09:05 pm

I kind of think of Hit The Road as being the "movie".
