I am looking forward to the MYST movie. Been a fan since day one when they game was released. Brings back memories. It will have a level of difficulty getting a story out of it, especially with a little action. There wasn’t really anyone besides you playing the character in the first MYST. The second game in the series RIVEN actually had a AI against you, sort of.I really do hope they keep the original soundtrack of the game in the movie. Personally I think they need to turn it into same kind of Survivor show. Drop someone on an island and see if they can figure out the clues to get off. Either that or a resort. I wouldn’t mind being stranded on that island.
