Mmm... Rubber~

1. Good actors. 2. Good script. 3. Good scenery and setting. 4. Good Scare Factor. 5. Have a small tiny bit of TFF in it (maybe showing the ending where Mary/Scissorman is chasing Jennifer to the Clock Tower while it shows the cast and directors etc. then when it's done Jennifer is on Barton's bed remembering it or something), or maybe a lot of TFF in it 6. Based of of TFF or CT2/USA 7. Original Scissormen - Edward or Bobby 8. SCISSORS >:D |

1. A mixture of plots from all CT games 2. Jennifer and Alyssa as the main characters. Rolla, Anne and Lotte (also possibly Helene) should be involved somehow, either briefly mentioned or actually having a major role. 3. The main villian being either Bobby or Edward. Fushi personally prefers Edward. 4. Jennifer to be played by Jennifer Connelly. 5. a very brief cameo appearance by Yu, something only big fans of the series will be able to catch. |

1. CT3 not being included at all 2. Scissorman 3. Non-Hollywood-ish characters (this is hard to explain, but, i.e. I don't want the main character to be a blonde bimbo that has no depth at all like these horror movies seem to like nowadays) 4. No sex. Please. I guess this could tie into the movie not being too Hollywood-ish. 5. Sticking to the plot |

1) ANIMATED, ANIMATED, ANIMATED 2) Based off of CT2/CTUSA 3) EDWARD, EDWARD, EDWARD 4) Cameos of other characters in the background that only a fan would notice (like, Yu walking in a crowded street in one of the scenes or something) 5) Good story 6) Good voice acting |

DOLPHINATSU WILL KILL U!

My top 5 things that I would love to see in a Clock Tower movie would be, in no particular order. Skipping common sense stuff like wanting good actors, a good script, and other obvious stuff: 1.) Scissor Man. It just wouldn't be worthy of the Clock Tower name if the main antagonist was not even the Scissor Man himself. While Clock Tower Ghost Head/Clock Tower II: The Struggle Within was a fun game, it most likely felt outcasted due to the lack of the Scissor Man character which was replaced by Ghost Head. And while I find the Clock Tower 3's version of the Scissor Man to be quite charming, I believe the lot of us find the original Scissor Man of Clock Tower and Clock Tower 2/Clock Tower USA more appealing and worthy of the moniker. 2.) I would love for the movie to be based upon Clock Tower 2/Clock Tower USA. Out of all of the Clock Tower games, it is the only game which people felt more "complete" with. This game has a very strong storyline with a great casting of characters that isn't overwhelming, but isn't just a handful like what the first Clock Tower's cast has. Also with the storyline, there is a lot of branching Scenarios for the Director to take. Not to mention having the killer be a young child would definitely be up the scare factor for the audience. =D 3.) Have it a live-action movie, while I may like an animated movie of the game. To me, it just doesn't feel the same. While I may agree that Clock Tower Ghost Head/Clock Tower II: The Struggle Within would make a great animated movie, the other games feel more better being live-action. 4.) Please don't resort to having a sex scene in order to bring in sales. I know that it would seem too much to ask for, considering that almost every movie needs to have a sex scene. To me, it just seems very out of place, especially if the movie was based upon the first Clock Tower where all of the girls are minors. Now the Clock Tower 2/Clock Tower USA, Clock Tower Ghost Head/Clock Tower II: The Struggle Within, or a Clock Tower 3 movie I would suffice if there was at least a kiss between Jennifer and Nolan, Yű/Alyssa and Ishizue/Corey, or Alyssa and Dennis. There are many horror movies without sex scenes that done well such as Suspiria. Personally I felt that sex scenes are only a waste of time and most likely doesn't help advance the plot as shown in The Number 23. 5.) If there was to be only one movie made for the Clock Tower series. I would appreciate if there were cameos of the other cast of characters that are not vital to the storyline in the backgrounds such as seeing Yű/Alyssa walking with a group of schoolgirls to school; seeing Dennis' name on a paper that is on a bulletin at a school; seeing a person reading a newspaper written by Gômoto/Bowman; or other similar things. |

Better yet, she bumps into the main character and says "sorry" with a deep male voice... A certain Mr. Bates´s. And she might even have a purple glow inside her eyes... Not around her since that would make it too obvious. Anyways.. 1. It should be based of HUMAN`S games. Preferably CT2 since it has a bigger scenery than the first, sadly the first one isn´t big enough to become a movie. 2. Jennifer being played well, and not being played by someone with acting skills the like of the soap-opera series like Hanna Montana-ish series that are on nowadays. 3. Scissors! 4. Even more scissors! 5. EVEN MOA- *BRICKED* ow!... All right then. I´ll want Edward to be the villain. |

Poor Dan...

1. Based off of Clock Tower USA/2 2. Edward MUST be the main scissorman (No ending D Barton scissorman. He can be the fake, but not the real scissorman) 3. At least 5 minor characters (such as Rose, Beth, or Tim) must die, at least 2 of these must be at barrows castle 4. Jennifer main heroine 5. Give a breif cameo to the first fear at the beginning (perhaps ending C, because its the most exciting) 6. Use jebe's Bates idea 7. Cameo GH or 3 8. Ending A combined with either Helen B or Jennifer C (have the major characters survive, but have edward survive as well) |
 I know, it's generic and unoriginal, but... | |

I just have to say that I lol'd severely. I would love the movie to be based off of TFF/CT(2). For those of you that want it to be animated, what kind of animation do you want for it? I'm curious because I've personally never seen a scary animated movie. I'd actually rather it with real actors. 1. Serious scare factor 2. Based off of the original story (not some random scary man chasing some poor pathetic school girl). I hate movies that are named after something familiar and then have NOTHING to do with it. I demand connections to the game. 3. Good acting/actors that match the characters 4. All of the villains. Start with Bobby and Dan. The return of Edward, and then the CT3 gang as their evil henchmen. 5. Setting. Looks like the real thing. You see it on screen and you can see yourself playing that area in the game. |

1. No "Rooder" or "Subordinate" crap, you can just toss Clock Tower 3 into the trash can it belongs in. 2. No beating around the bush, I want Bobby or Dan, looking scary, with some freaking Scissors. 3. No modernization, this always leads to product placement. I mean I can imagine it now. Jennifer:OH NO SCISSORMAN! Scissorman:*snip snip* Jennifer:Ahhhh, oh wait, I have NOKIA, I can call the cops with all the clarity and static of a NOKIA 492900 CHOCOLATE SCISSORMAN JACKBLACK EDITION! AT WAL-MART TODAY! Scissorman:OH NOEZ, NOKIA, I'M DONE FOR! 4. Recently, espcially with Comic Book movies, some elements have been scrapped or seriously altered to make them less silly (for example, the removal of the Giant Purple Armor Wearing Galactus in favor of Galactus The Almighty Cloud Demon God Thing... in Fantastic Four:Rise Of The Silver Surfer) I hate it when they do this, so very much. I don't want this crap to happen with Clock Tower, no replacing Dan with small sized baby with horns, and no replacing Scissorman with "Machetteman" or "Reallylongswordman" 5. NO SEX APPEAL! 6. I know other people have said it, but a scene in which a schoolgirl accidentally bumps into someone and says "Excuse me" in a deep male voice would just make my day. (It would also make me forgive them if they decide to put Ralph in this movie) |

ALYSSA! I've become a Subordinate!

Five points I find essential: 1. No occurrences whatsoever of Expendable Meat wandering aimlessly around a house/forest, pausing at various shadowy "hot spots" to "build suspense," all the while yelling, "Stop it, [Insert Character Here]. this isn't funny!" In fact, all cliches (ie, foolish kids picking a blatantly dangerous/secluded place to perform an evil ritual "for fun", characters in danger inexplicably split up, BADF) should be avoided. They can do better than that. 2. Don't pansy out on the gore. If the game can get away with showing chopped-up little kid ghosts dancing a circle around a wounded police officer, so can the movie. On the other hand, it shouldn't be tasteless just for the sake of being tasteless. May's and the Rand Family's brutal deaths had a reason beyond "Pbbbth! Eat that, Lieberman!" On top of showing that Entities must cause pain, not just death, in order to "feed" properly on their victims' spirits, they showed that Alyssa was up against villains who didn't even have mercy on the blind or very young. They made her danger look real. 3. The chase scenes must be excellent. It's Clock Tower. It's about chase scenes. 4. No tongue-in-cheek humor. I know there's a mentality going around Hollywood that an adaption (especially a video game adaption) can't be a "serious" film, but that doesn't give filmmakers an excuse to make this "Naked Gun 4:4: Super Serial Norweigan Bloodbath." 5. It has to be scary, and it has to be genuinely scary. That means it can't lean solely on jump scares and gross outs (though, as this is Clock Tower, the occasional rotting critter bursting out of its preservation jar is perfectly welcome) . The most horrifying things in Clock Tower come from the characters, whether it's ten-year-old Dan's total lack of innocence or the willingness of a seemingly-loving grandparent to murder his own granddaughter to save himself. Five points I'd really love, but could still enjoy the movie without: 1. Giallo-style attention to color and composition. 2. Duology continuity. I don't necessarily mean an adaption, though that would be spectacular; I'd be just fine with a film that continued the plot of CT/2. 3. Jennifer Connolly. If she can't play the Jennifer she inspired, at least give her a cameo appearance as a Granite tutor or something (so we'll be able to find other CT fans in the theater when they give her a standing ovation ;)). 4. A strong, creepy soundtrack. 5. Nods to the game (perhaps a dead body trussed up in the shower, or a scene where the heroine hurls a violin at her attacker). |
