Digimon Live-Action Movie

[Lord]

Or maybe it could be just the begining of the 2nd movie, continuing more or less like this

I've praying every night for a Digimon movie. Its on my list of scripts I wanna write. Personally I think it should be focused on the first season with Tai and the gang, but use elements of the Tamers season in explaining their creation. I feel as though it should be with an all Japanese cast, but that's just me. I'd love to see J.J. Abrams, Peter Jackson, or Del Toro take this.

First movie: Starts off with Highton View Terrace Greymon and Parrotmon battle flashback Show a young Tai watching it and then show government officials coming to clean the mess in which they label a terrorist attack. Most folks didn't really witness the battle and those who have have been silenced by the government, one of them being Tai. He grows up with his memories of the incident repressed and lives a normal life (he's had frequent check ins at a mental institute but he no longer has to go). At summer camp, Tai and the gang get drifted off into the Digital World where they meet with Genai who tells them of their destiny as the DigiDestined. They travel around the world and do battle with various monsters on their journey to defeat the evil Devimon. TK and Angemon (with the combined efforts of the team of course) defeat Devimon. In the end they're given the choice to return back to the Real World or stay and continue to fight in the DigiWorld. They go with the latter and the film ends with them beginning their battle against Devimon's master Myotismon.

That seems like a lot to put into one movie. I never bothered reading the rest coz I was a bit shocked at how much you wanted to put into one movie.

@Kar

I think you have some neat ideas, but that if waaay too much to put in each movie, IMO.

 

[Kar]

Guess I got carried away, haha. I always envisioned the whole "traveling the DigiWorld and battling monsters" part to be shown through a montage, like the Captain America and the Howling Commandos scenes, just to get a chance to showcase all the digidestined's digimon evolving into Champion level.

That's why the season three characters makes more sense. With only 3 main digidestined and their partners to worry about you have less characters fighting for screen time. Even if you used them in the season one arcs it would work better.

Takato "makes" Guilmon while at summer camp, the three digidestined get sucked into the DigiWorld where Henry and Rika meet their partners (Terriermon and Renamon). Then the three digidestined fight Digimon-X (Devimon or other) and minions (DemiDevimon, Ogremon and BlackGear Leomon?).

In a sequal you could add in other digidestined, maybe from other seasons. That way you could have an Angewomon Vs LadyDevimon show down.

I thought the point of doing the Season three characters was because of their storyline taking place mainly in the real world to leave room for full Digital World conversion in the sequel? If we are doing the S3 characters, I don't want them in an S1 story.

I think a movie about season 3 could be more interesting if in the 1st movie there wasn't an exact villain, it would be more Takato meeting Gilmon and befriending other digidestined, impmon could play a kind of causing trouble guy.
The movie 1 should be more about them and instead of using big villains they could just find other digimon that escaped and cause havoc

That could be cool. And have them take the whole thing light-heartedly until they realize just how big of a threat it all is. Maybe he could find the Digidevice somewhere that Ty's father dropped/left/threw it away at.

Just making a first movie without a devinite villain could be like E.T. with godzilla monsterst:

 

[Spidermatrix53]

But E.T. HAD a definite villian! If we follow that route it would be the government that becomes the bad guy.

... actually, that's not a bad idea.

Have the government try to take Guilmon only to let him go when Parrotmon attacks. Guilmon gets destroyed in the fight as well and now we have our bombing incident!

You really like that bombing incident don't you?
Government as a main villain again no but they could play a part and investigate the digiworld coming to life

What's wrong with the bombing incident? I like it because It's the first time that you really have the monsters cross over and wreck things and it gives the main characters a common thread of witnessing the truth behind the attack.

I agree about them not being the villains, but I like the idea of them at least looking into it. Maybe the original coders realize what's really going on?

I have no problem with it, i liked it, i think it serves better as a flashback than an intro

Under the new idea, the incident would be the climax of the first movie and be flashbacks in the second. Would that be okay?

Ok, funny how many turns you could take with the story.
Here's another idea for a possible different adaptation
4 characters losely based on the ones of season 1.
They would be loselly based on Tai, Matt, T.K. and Sora, loselly based on the first story arc of season 1, have them explore the digiworld, defeat Devimon.
The problem is, i think there should be one movie devoted to the mega evolution (What the entire Entemon arc did) but this wouldn't probably last 6-7 films with the same kids

Is that "turns" thing a compliment? lol

I would suggest having Izzy in the group as well because with all of this computer stuff it should be fun to have an absolute nerd there with them. Maybe have them figure out Mega-evolution at the end of Act Two and have them learn Ultimate at the very end of the climactic fight? That way DNA Digivolution is much more amazing when they pull that out of nowhere at the end of the third movie.

 

[Lord]

No, it means that we all already founf many ways to make digimon movie to work
If done right of course

In the entemon i sincerelly liked the metal greymon and skull greymon and how much it took for the evolution to be right

 

[Spidermatrix53]

I like the idea, too. It could be foreshadowing for Diaboromon. Perhaps have the Second Act end with the disastrous attempt to evolve/SkullGreymon. That way it means much more whenever he digivolves correctly in the final battle. Maybe leave WarGreymon for Halfway through the third movie?

I thought the point of doing the Season three characters was because of their storyline taking place mainly in the real world to leave room for full Digital World conversion in the sequel? If we are doing the S3 characters, I don't want them in an S1 story.

If I was to write a Digimon movie I'd do movie 1 in real world so the full Digital World would draw fans back for the the sequel. But I was useing what Kar had said to say how I think that concept would work.

If people really want to go the route of the Season 1 story line they still shouldn't have 7 kids and 7 digimon. 14 main characters, plus bad guys, plus secondary characters is just too many. I wouldn't want to just cut out character so my idea is change the team for a whole other team from another season.

I agree about having the first movie be the real world and with there being too many characters in Season One, but I personally still like the idea of doing Season 3's characters/storyline for the first movie and then Season 1's characters/storyline for the second and possibly third movie.

 

[Lord Valumart]

Well series 3 is the easiest to adapt into a trilogy. You have them in the real world screwing around for a bit not really doing much, but have whats his face with the dark glasses doing his thing in the back ground and end the movie with him trying to destroy all the digimon. Then for the second you have them take the series 3 digiworld arc and for the third the D-reaper arc.

Series 1 is FAR to crowded and complicated to put in a trilogy of films. Even if you were to condense the hell out of it it would still feel incredibly rushed and crowded. Series 2 depends on series 1 happening and either way, it was terrible. And the less said about series 4 the better.

I've not seen a massive ammount of series 5 yet, so I can't comment on that, but I think it's best to stay clear of that and go the kids/digimon way of things. It's more marketable in all honesty.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

I would use 5 Digi-destined as the characters: Tai, Matt, Sora, Izzy, and T.K. I realize it leaves only one female, but I would introduce Kairi into the equation at some point. I would actually use some of the real world/digital world ideas in reverse. My idea would be:

Movie 1: Based off series 1, where Tai and the others are transported to the digital world. There they would gain their Digimon from the show (to solve the problem of some of the fan favorites missing, specifically Mimi and Joe, I might suggest allowing a second digimon to accompany certain team members later, but maybe not.)I would however start Izzy with Gommamon rather than Tentamon, and I have a reason for this. I'd do the Devimon arc, and keep it so Patamon was the only one not to Digivolve until the final fight. I would make references to a Master Devimon has, that being Myotismon, though he would not be seen directly until movie 2.

Movie 2: The kids would have gotten back but have a direct link to the digital world to join their digimon. Since time passes faster within the digital world, they each get distress calls from their partners warning that something new and more evil has moved into the digital world. This is where I would heavily condense certain parts of the anime, brining Myotismon (still an Ultimate-level Digimon) to the forefront, with his right hand cat-woman Gatomon, as well as his main henchman the Dark Masters (now relegated to the level of Ultimates.). I would have Sora now having both Biyomon and Palmon, with Palmon and Gommamon being killed by Myotismon. Izzy now living without a digimon would use his tech skills and create a new digimon, that being Tentamon. The rest would be the kids having to work with their digimon towards Ultimate level, in which Tai would achieve it last in the films, instead getting SkullGreymon and while he would finish off Piedmon, the last Dark Master, SkullGreymon would somehow open the door for Myotismon and his forces to gain entrance to the real world.

Movie 3: Basically the real world stuff with Myotismon, Tai feeling guilty over SkullGreymon and eventually helping Agumon become MetalGreymon. They would hear about the 6th destined child, and would search for her through most of the film, while Gatomon would eventually be joined with her. Patamon and Angewoman would finish off Myotismon but he would be revived as in the series at the time of 6:06:06 p.m. (or 666, the number of the beast) as either VenomMyotismon of Malomyotismon. He would then attempt to merge the worlds together, allowing Digimon to become dominant on the Earth. Tai and Matt would step up and would be able to evolve their digimon into their Mega forms to take him out once and for all. Besides some changes, movie 3 would follow the anime pretty closely.

Wasn't mega before ultimate?
I like you summaries for the movies but not them having multi partners and Izzy could just have Tentamon.
film 1: Devimon arc like your idea and a simple mention that Devimon was created by a greater evil.
film 2: Network attack by Diaboromon, the kids are able to destroy diaboromon but they go to the digi world to stop Piedmon who was using Diaboromon and skull greymon accidentally opens the gates for them to enter the real world. Gatomon appears too a lot of times but while she seems to be loyal to Piedmon's master (Myotismon) she seems to be sad over an inocent digimon piedmon kills in cold blood. Myotismon doesn't appear himself but his coffin appears as Piedmon works for him. Right in the end of the movie in the real world greymon is able to evolve into metal greymon and kills piedmon.
film 3: The search for the 6th digidestined, pratically everything you pointed out. The kids discover Myotismon. In the end Venomyotismon is killed
