First off, the bad news. A City of Heroes movie is coming. Now for the good news. Tom DeSanto is behind it, so Anderson and Boll won't be able to get anywhere near it. Got it from DM.Net: http://www.donmurphy.net/board/showthread.php?p=956679&posted=1#post956679 The guy didn't post his source, though.
It's from the producer of the first X-Men (and the second, I think, or wasn't he involved with that?).
What are they basing the movie off of? A gang of green skinned thugs stealing an object from a museum, then holding the object in a boring looking office building? But it's amazingly well orchestrated, as 3,000 identical heists have also taken place throughout the city? Only P@ntzPwn3r53 can save the city now!
During the big show one of the heroes should stop moving for several minuets and then disappear for no reason. Also all the heroes should look almost like Marvel and DC characters.
If I'm not mistaken, the story sounds like a prequel to the game. In the game the Rikti have already been beaten down.
Yeah, in the beta if I recall there was a second massive Rikti invasion.. my fiancee will flip out as all he does is play that game. lol
The Rikti will return! Have you been to the RCS lately? Bastards are TPing down from the sky like mad! I had a group land on my then lvl 41 (he's 46 now) emp/rad and they killed poor ol' Doctor Daring Awesome XP though to put together a team of low-mid 40s heroes and street sweep for a few hours in there.
*solos the Crash Site for phat lootz* Movie could be cool, more likely will be as boring as 90% of the media based on the signature NPCs.
