(I be all like, mixin' and matchin' card games.)

 

While we don't know anything about the picture itself yet or what the story might entail, the publication does specify a few names attached to the project — most notably Simon Kinsberg. He's the man who brought us Jumper and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and he's also writing and producing the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past. He even has some degree of experience adapting a two-dimensional board game to the screen, having helped write the script for Ouija, out later this year. Magic: The Gathering could pose a similar sort of blank slate to Ouija for its filmmakers, with few characters or themes that would necessarily need to be written into the script. Although recent Magic expansion sets have placed emphasis on a number of powerful "planeswalkers" and the canon is rich with lore, there isn't a consistent overarching narrative. The primary trapping of Magic is that mages hop between planes of existence while doing battle with magical energy which they draw from the land around them.

 

A movie...based off of a card game...

Eh, I guess I could see this being a thing, because Magic has a lore, right? I don't really keep up with much magic related stuff, so I'm not sure. I do know that with YuGiOh, however, it spawned a very successful TV series, so maybe the same could be said for Magic, except in movie form.

 

Either way, I'll be looking forward to this film. Thoughts?

Well, actually I didn't know that, which is why I said I "asked" if Magic has a lore, because I honestly didn't know.

As linus would say...HOLY BALLS.

 

On a more serious note, I wonder what the plot and setting would be for the movie. There is a lot of Planar worlds to cover.
