I'm betting on Development Hell.

 

[Henry Bemis]

I'm betting on Development Hell.

Which would, ironically, be Providence for whatever poor souls get roped into it.

 

[AnOminous]

I'm betting on Development Hell.

I'd like them to dump money into it right when Zoe gets indicted for fraud.

If this belongs in another thread, my apologies; I looked and couldn't find one to post this in.
Zoe's GG memoir is being vetted for a movie, which will undoubtedly bring up all the corruption and censorship issues that were never really dealt with.

Apparently they're trying to get Scarlet Johansson to play the role of Zoe...

We've made fun of this in the main GG thread for like six pages. There is no way this won't explode in a way that's fucking hilarious.

I can't wait to see what suckers pay any amount of money to see this bullshit, like how anyone took The Sarkeesian Effect seriously. I know this isn't exactly the same thing and it's on a different issue but nonetheless, I had that spectacular failure in mind learning about this.

 

[BatNapalm]

A movie?

I guarantee it's a online, straight to DVD, independent film that only Tumblr will watch

I'm picturing a Lifetime Original movie with even worse production values.

 

[OtterParty]

who's she

 

[Thiletonomics]

So when the movie flops, will she blame gamergate too?

I would picture Zoe, Anita, and company blaming the staff of the movie, either the actors or the directors, for intentionally making the movie a flop because they were secret GG operatives.

Even if this, by some stroke of blind luck, manages to actually get funded, produced, and released, how would it even be a movie that people want to watch? A story that's nothing about a woman getting harassed has no place anywhere other than Lifetime, where people like me watch movies like that because they're hilariously bad; they're for a niche audience, not the majority.

Plus, Zoe's story isn't even inspiring. If her story was about her actually overcoming great obstacles and eventually achieving her dream, then maybe it would have mainstream appeal, because audiences are suckers for a good underdog story. Her story has none of that. She hasn't done shit with her life, she hasn't overcome anything, she hasn't made any grand achievements. So why should anyone care?

Steve Buscimi should play Wu.

 

[Trombonista]

Steve Buscimi should play Wu.

Nah, Jim Parsons should.

 

[Bonesnap]

but for now I'll leave this thread up for a short while to see if she's considered a lolcow.

I don't know how many lols could be farmed, but if you've seen any recent pictures, she's definitely nailing the "cow" aspect.

 

[Quijibo69]

What the fuck is there to cover in a movie? Are we going to see 2 hours of Scarlett Johansson checking twitter and looking sad?

Will she be able to get the cap off?

This Zoe Quinn is totally original. It will be called Byber Bully.

 

[Henry Bemis]

When has that ever stopped media with axes to grind?

 

[MiloWuCollusion]

It's really depressing that this charlatan (and others like her) gets to see so much media coverage. Not to mention the fact that it's just going to make gamers look even worse than they already do thanks to GG. What a progressive era we live in! wow
Bet you anything they're going to downplay the whole "she was a manipulative cheating bitch and that's why her ex was so upset" angle, too.

I dunno.

People here seem to think that or is going to be either hackers or Social Network when is probably not going to end being made. And if it is, is not going to be the same controlling the message of "fearless activist" in a bunch of video game websites to "the girl that complained about mean stuff in the UN is painting herself as Mother Theresa".

Quinn is talentless and she seems truly depend of her boyfriend connections to get attention, so if the media machine was interested in making her a pop culture icon or whatever Ghazi want her to be, may require to maker her actually do something than a shitty website countdown, constitutional controversies or teaming up for videos with the more presentable Anita.

In the end we are a talking about a manipulative but insecure as fuck girl that thinks going to the UN in pink hair is a statement while posing with a shitty electronic implant ("I'm a cyborg. Look at me.").

If The Room and Birdemic were based around Feninism and Tumblr

 

[melty]

Well first of all shouldn't this be labeled career cow
Anyway I can kind of see this potentially being successful. All that has to happen is the media spinning gamergaters inevitable complaints into "evil misogynists protest womyn centered film". Whenever a group of people that are generally disliked don't want you to see a movie, a bunch of people usually go see it. Hell, at least part of the reason I saw Mad Max is because dipshits like Ian Ironwood were complaining about it so I thought it might be something I'd like.

I'm reminded of the movie Julie & Julia. For the purpose of the movie, they portrayed Julie as a kind and spunky woman who Julia Child irrationally disliked for cursing too much in her blog. In reality, she's probably a narcissist, and definitely cheats on her husband. A similar situation will probably happen here.

 

[HG 400]

I think Zoe Quinn is really pretty.

 

[AN/ALR56]

I think Zoe Quinn is really pretty.

Nah,you're prettier

 

[Picklepower]

They should get Benedict Cumberbatch to play the dashingly villainous Milo!
