Redwall optioned for film

[Rusvul]

Gore is not necessary for death to be a big part of it. I rather like how it was done in the Nelvana Redwall tv show, though I don't think that much of an effort for no visual violence is necessary... Stabbing people and bleeding through slash wounds is fine by me, when blood/innards spray(s) everywhere is kind of where I draw the line.

       That kind of graphic showing is not only needlessly violent, it's also unrealistic. I like some blood and wounding in a movie, when used properly. It adds a sense of urgency and the atmosphere is thicker. As far as lost limbs go, a movie that includes ages like 12(and possibly below) would most likely lead in close to the blow, but cut off the camera with some obscure way of showing what happened so that more astute audiences aren't left wondering (like the bad guy from the animated Tarzan, he accidentally hung himself from the vines, but the actual portrayal is a lightning flash that cast a shadow on a trunk behind Tarzan).

I like things being realistic to a point; that's why I think some blood should be appropriate.
As to an example of where loss of limbs or death or something along those lines was hinted at but not necessarily shown was in an episode of Justice League, where Aquaman cuts off his arm to save his baby child. They showed him raising the sharp metal object. . . and the next scene he's in he has a wrapped-up stub.

I've never seen that show, so that sounded really out of the blue to me.
But about that blood topic: I agree that blood would be appropriate, but any grory death scenes, especially involving Gulo, would be out of line.

Here, here!

We don't need the gory details. People can still be killed and play for keeps without it getting all nasty. The Nelvana cartoon did a good job with this. Heck, that was one of my favorite things about it! And it could easily happen again with enough effort and skill.

[LT Sandpaw]

In movies like Lord of the Rings they did a great job keeping it real but not making it overly gruesome.

[Matthias720]

I have no delusions about a Redwall movie having violence in it, but I also know Hollywood has a masterful ability to subvert violent imagery down to shadows and horrified reactions. They probably won't remove that kind of material, but rather just cover most of it up, letting us figure out what really happened based on secondary events.

[SilentSam]

Lets hope they do it!

[Søren]

I hope it happens soon, but if it's still in option phase, for this long, I'd love to be the optimist but I'm not to sure it's going to happen.

Movies can be in the 'option phase' for years, guys.

Oooohhhh!

Okay. Now I feel guilty about reviving this thread. I TOTALLY jumped the gun 

[Wot, wot!]

I really hope they make a Redwall movie. That would be so awesome!!!!! Just hope the anamations are good

[Eulaliaaa!]

I'd love to see a Redwall movie, but I know that whoever made it would mess up. Movies are never as good as the books, and things are always left out...

[Starla1431]

Gore doesn't bother. Though I do think that wouldn't be a good idea for a Redwall movie. Some violence is necessary for a Redwall film though.

[Lady Ashenwyte]

I would like a portion of gore, but not so much. A 300 type of gory will put me off.
