Via Brenlo’s World, a short Gamespot blurb that indicates an EverQuest movie is in the works.

[Yair] Landau also hinted the Metal Gear Solid movie may just be the beginning. “There are other games we are looking to develop,” the executive said. “We’re working with one of my favorite producers right now on an idea for an EverQuest movie.” The producer was apparently of such stature that Landau declined to name him. “I’ll let him disclose that,” he said cryptically.

Erm. Okay. Nicely … nicely … how do I say this nicely ….

While I understand and respect the idea of growing the EverQuest brand via movies and other media, it is my considered opinion that ‘EverQuest: the Movie’ is a bad move from a customer loyalty perspective. There’s little possibility such a thing would live up to expectations of players and fans of the game, and the derision you would recieve from a hokey fantasy movie with the EQ name attached is not worth contemplating.

…

Or: Bwahahahahahahahaha. An EQ movie would really really suck.
