"We just finished the animated movie and now we're going into the feature film movie [which should lens] hopefully in a couple years. We're about to set up meetings to develop a script and put it out there," Beach enthused. "I'll have to beef up, and be a good guy, and save the world!"
Turok, of course, has his origins in comic books but is no doubt much more widely known today as the star of several popular video games. Although many claim that the franchise has recently "nuked the fridge," 1997's "Turok: Dinosaur Hunter" is often credited as being one of the earliest blockbuster first person shooters for the N64, helping to usher in a whole new era in gaming.

DocHoliday i think Micheal Bay would b perfect for this and there really isnt much of a story here, if u really think about it there gonna have really come up with something good here, turok really doesnt have a long story, idk maybe it will work

True enough. Plus, there wouldn't be much of a story to captivate an audience for an hour and a half to 2 hours of runtime, given how thin in plot the games are. Maybe they'll mix some of the separate game elements together?

He was in Windtalkers wasn't he? And the indian with the firework stand in the desert in Joe Dirt. He was in Mystery, Alaska (I never watched that movie though).

Michael Bay tends to make special FX extravaganza flicks that are thin in plot, and just aren't that memorable, but just techy. I guess he'd be good for this film.

Saquin Turok 'X'
The N64 Turok is a classic, even if I cheated to complete it, lol. The Campaigner, The T-Rex boss, the Chronocepter weapon, great. But base the film on that game.? Not sure about that. Even if it gets based on the first game, would love to see the Cerebral Bore (which didn't appear till the second game, Seeds of Evil). Hope it's in there.

I have to say that referencing Adam Beach to his "Flags Of Our Fathers" role while talking with him about a Turok movie is a really bad idea. I mean he was pretty much the central character in "Flags," in which he played an emotionally disturbed soldier suffering from immense waves of PTSD. And Turok is a kickass Indian Warrior!!!!!!!!!!! And they reference THAT role???? WTF???? He's had to have done something more-check that-something badass at all to be even considered for this role. Just cuz your an NA doesn't get you the part ya know. Anybody know anything else about this guy's previous stuff?

JR
i had to say that cause nobody else did..lol
but yeah it would be dinos of jurrassic park and then the blood gore and action of rambo so basicly its rambo meets jurassic park i wonder why nobody else thought of that? cause thats what the movie will probably turn out like the game is like that too just hope that boll dosent touch it or he is doomed no wait if he touches halo or gears he is doomed

The original for N64 was, is, and always will be THE BEST!

yeah, thats why i said that peter jackson should be the director because of the great job he did on King Kong.

Yeah even though the N64 one is bad ass and so much better (mainly just to play) than the newer one, the newer one's plot is up-to-date and it would realistically make more sense than some old dinosaur hunter (unless they did some crazy timeshift type of story where a good hard ass ancient native american hunter got somehow got into this other dimension or world of dinosaur-ish wildlife. The movie will resemble that of 2005 King Kong. The island part anyway.

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter for the N64 was a classic.I think they are gonna do the movie like the new Turok game that just came out though.

LEO: Lord Epsilon Omega
Yeah, and here's another thing: are they gonna base it on the game or the comic book? Because seriously, those are two completely different worlds. And since the comics came first, and you compare the game to the comics, you have to realize they really butchered it.
