hmm, if i made a wc movie...
i acutally noted the ww2 style(including the cramped bridges with little windows) and i totally disliked it. i suppoes the intended parrallels went by most people. for a long time i took the retrofittet ww2 rapier simply as a measure for saving money.
i'd stick mostly to wc1 era, in ship design also, but take the red brown murky interiors of cat ships from wc3. the kilrathis would be completely animated(most of the movie is anyway, so it wouldn't raise costs so much), making them a 2 legged version of african and asian predator cats, very fast, agile and stealthy, not to mention tall and about as strong as a man in power armor. and WITH HAIRS and no flashlight eyes.
the story would propably follow the general idea of wc1 with a giant kilrathi dreadnaught blasing colonies and the claw getting on its track and trying to hunt it down(though the sivar would propably have more the size of the wc3 dreadnaught)
a little aspect of personal vendetta, played out on one or several command levels, maybe with a bit of ahab-ian self sacrifice.
of course the cats must plan to take the sivar to earth(that's for the audience because earth is the one planet everybody can indentify with)
on the vendetta level, blair is pitted against a kilrathi ace (baktosh, in my version) who killed his love on their first contact.(if i go any further, i'd spoil WCT
)
tolwyn is battling high command as much as the kilrathi, his adversary are old-school-by-the-book admiral alvin craig and prince thrakath, orchestrator of the sivar's rampage.
then of course we have a girl, she's in love with blair, but he won't sse her since he's on the revenge trip, but she saves him in the end.
actors...well, since i have only 21 mil bucks, nonames will have to do. maybe i'd try to get malcom mc dowell as tolwyn, he fit perfectly. freddy actually looks a lot like young blair(he only became blond in wc3), maybe the guy who plays charlie in taken...
a few eastereggs would be nice though..like gillian anderson as the claw's board doctor, mark hamill as the claw's wing commander stuff like that
jürgen prochnow, he's a hackface(as we say in german) he'd play the terran admiral (nice touch, the admiral has a hat of a german submarine commander) id mc dowell is too expensive, he'd also make a great tolwyn, btw...
i have a complete story in my head, and i was actually planning to go to hollywood and make a WC movie, like 10 or so years ago.
that went down the drain, but the story still lives, and i'll use most of it for WCT
