For a long time, I've thought that the Myth series, if done right, would make great epic fantasy war films. I'm thinking in particular Myth I and II; I'm not familiar enough with III to pass judgment on it. Of course, the plot would need to be streamlined (especially for TFL; Soulblighter's got a much tighter storyline), central characters would need to be developed, etc.
At any rate, this is really just for my curiosity, to see what other Mythers think about the subject. What would you want to see in a Myth film? What do you think would not work well? Who should the main character be (assuming he'd be the same person who writes the journal in the game) -- a warrior? journeyman/heron guard? archer?
Those are all the questions I can think of at the moment; I wouldn't mind answers to questions that I haven't thought of. And if nobody thinks it's a good idea, that's cool too.

BTW: Just in case it needs clarifying--I'm not actually considering trying to make a Myth film at this point... don't have the resources, the know-how, or the rights. But maybe one day if I ever "make it" in the film industry I'll beat down some doors and get one made. Obviously it'd have to be marketed on its own merit, and not as "based on the hit game from Bungie," because by then the games will be older than old hat...
