Card Names as Movie Titles (Fun Brainstorm Challenge!)
Challenges and Articles forum
Posted on Dec. 15, 2012, 7:15 p.m. by pookypuppy6
What if we took the names of cards, and turned them into movie titles?
I challenge thee to come up with a movie title and short movie description. The movie title should be named after a Magic card, and the description is up to you. For example:
"Coming this summer arises the smartest sci-fi action feature since Blade Runner... Gemini Engine ! When two twins accidentally set off the doomsday device that'll mean the end of the world, they must team up with their robot alter-egos from the future to save the world in the present AND the past. Starring Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, this movie will have you by the balls from start to finish!"
You can do disaster movies (e.g: like Devastation Tide , the best disaster film since Day After Tomorrow). You can do action flicks (like the sequel to Sorcerer's Apprentice, card:Alchemist's Apprentice). Or maybe a dark comedy called Tragic Slip . Get creative!

@UmbrotheUmbreon: Prey Upon does sound like a werewolf movie or, if I wasn't being influenced by the artwork, an alien sci-fi horror thriller..
"Coming to your screens this fall, Prey Upon takes you on a scream-filled ride packed with suspense and terror! When a bunch of nerds take a camping trip in the Misty Woods following the path of an ancient monk, they did not realize the monk's stories of a hideous beast rampaging the forests was in fact a reality... Hailed as the best horror thriller movie since Flock of Rabid Sheep , you will be enthralled and on the edge of your seat, completely unaware that there is a pickpocket stealing your change out of your pocket!"

Haha I see it more as this:
"In a world where man is beast and beast is man, a team of warriors must survive an onslaught of intelligent creatures out for revenge. Filled with heart stopping suspense and intense action, Prey Upon is the must see movie of the year."

That's quite a good one, nicely written. I've got another one by the way.
"He's cute. He's friendly. His thorax is the size of the roof of a car...It's Drudge Beetle ! In the feel-good movie of the year, Neville lives his everyday with his best friend and loyal pet, despite the world being cruel and uncaring to both of them. With Neville trying to get a date and Drudge Beetle trying to hide from both the FBI and the neighbourhood Giant Scorpion , you'll be smiling from start to finish as this unlikely friendship makes our protagonists unlikely heroes!"

"They thought they had killed them all. They thought the war was over. But they were wrong. Now the Phyrexians are taking the offensive again, and they plan to show no mercy. The sequel to Phyrexian Portal , Phyrexian Rebirth will have you on the edge of your seat. Who will end up with control of Mirrodin? Only time shall tell."

I feel like this would make a good action/comedy.
"During the day Tim and Bob serve food, but when night falls these two SERVE JUSTICE! Out of their lair, in the basement at Tim's parents' house, the lay in wait until evil strikes. Guns? Who needs them, these righteous warriors use only their foam nunchucks, but where will their adventures take them after they accidentally burn a warehouse full of drugs! Coming this summer Wild Pair !!!"

"This documentary shows what it's like to be an average Pre-Schooler. Follow 4 year old Bob around his school once again experiencing the joys of overcautious teachers and helicopter parents."

"Garruk, Primal Hunter is the all new action packed movie to see! Amazingly explicit action scenes, with a romance twist, Garruk, Primal Hunter tells the story of a beast turned human with a vengeance against the social world. Using his incredible strength and sense of nature, this manly beast stands up for nature against the evil society of civilization. Garruk, Primal Hunter , now playing in a theater near you!"

Quite ironic that the message of that film is fourth-wall broken by the fact that his story is told through the art of film/cinema, which is all civilization and not nature :$
Good job on the documentary Chubbub, I didn't think of that genre. I'd do a medical documentary entitled Narcolepsy .
I think Violent Ultimatum is one of the best cards for an action film.

Well, it's still a great idea! I mean, I know there was a movie or two about the destruction of civilization through nature .w. Thought it'd be great for Garruk considering he was once a beast

Slaughter Games (a B-movie Hunger Games knock-off flick)
Pixar's new animation, Phelddagrif . Not to be out done, Dreamworks releases Bouncing Beebles , with plans for a sequel titled Bubbling Beebles .

Hellrider could be a even worse version of Ghost Rider

any quest
"Our protagonist, Puresteel Paladin , lives on a plane besieged by phyrexians. Their only hope lies with the famed Sword of War and Peace . Teaming up with Mirran Crusader and Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer , the trio must follow a trail of clues to save their plane. Coming this summer, don't miss Quest for the Holy Relic "
card:Quest for Ula's Temple, Quest for the Gravelord , Soul Stair Expedition , it would all be good and could even be a series.
Sadly, we all know how the above scenario ends.

Things that might work:
Wolverine Pack (somebody cloned the X-men)
Hedron Matrix (like the regular matrix)
Living End (apocalypse)

Not good at the promotional clip bit so I will just say that I see Black Lotus as something similar the The Replacement Killers and Wanted:
A man who is part of a highly secret (No one outside the order even knows if they really exist) Chinese order of elite assassins decides that the order has lost its way and now needs to be destroyed.

Haha this is an amazing idea :) I have no idea how I'd do it or what to describe, but I think Prey Upon would make a good movie :D
