According to The Information (paywall), Fortnite movie discussions form part of a wider conversation at Epic about the possibility of launching an entertainment division focused on scripted video programming.

The site’s sources claim Epic is exploring new ways to grow its brands at a time when its ambitions in the mobile games space are being restricted by its legal battles with Apple and Google.

Epic has hired several executives from Lucasfilm this year, including its new president of special projects, Jason McGatlin. He was formerly vice president of physical production at Lucasfilm and was executive producer of all the Star Wars films released by Disney.

every day we stray further from god

This probably should have gotten started in 2019. Fortnite is a fad and will only last a few more weeks.

Freeguy has been doing really well financially, so this is a good time as any.

 

[MrFunSocks]

Epic like making large sums of money so this makes sense. Only question I have is why has it taken them this long? They should have had a tv series by now as well.

 

[Schmick]

Make it R rated so the kids cant watch it. hehe.

 

[Shubh_C63]

I mean, Angry birds, Emoji movie, Sonic, Mario movie.

This should have been out already.

 

[Fuz]

I'm surprised it doesn't already exists.

In Unreal Engine 5.
Fuck paying someone else for their offline renderer.

Ninja will be protagonist.

I hate this fucking abomination so much. Why couldn’t they just develop a proper Unreal Tournament instead of this shit?

 

[Stitch]

But it's already on Disney+

 

[Africa's Toto]

To think. One arma mod directly led to this

Then again, one warcraft mod led to the biggest esports cash prize in gaming

 

[Kdad]

A Tencent Penguin production no doubt...fuck Tencent.

If we have that furry shit movie, of course Fortnite could have too.

I hate this fucking abomination so much. Why couldn’t they just develop a proper Unreal Tournament instead of this shit?

They did. No one played it.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

haters gone hate. i'd go see it.

I can totally see an animated CGI movie happening, all the trailers are really fantastic and build up a plot and narrative for something that's a BR game where at first glance there's no place for it at all, EPic is doing a really great job on introducing new chapters.

I look forward to Tim crying that it's not fair they can't stroll onto another companies movie sets and use all their equipment and facilities for free.

 

[The_Observer]

They did. No one played it.

No, it was a half-assed attempt abandoned midway.

 

[GymWolf]

That's a neat technique if you wanna jerk off 4 of your friends at the same time.

Is this why fortnite is so famous?!

This isn't for you don't worry about it. The Mario movie is for you.
