《生存、死亡、改变：龙穴电影制作中》
活着，死去，插入25美分，重复

Edge of Tomorrow is a fantastic model for adapting this classic video game.
电影改编自电子游戏的历史悠久且具有挑战性。大多数例子未能捕捉到粉丝在原始媒介中喜欢的内容。对经典游戏的现代改编通常更成功，但它们仍然经常达不到低期望。当电影借鉴游戏元素时，它比直接改编更有效。《明日边缘》更像是PS4游戏，而不是华纳兄弟的大片，但它的例子可能有助于发展瑞安·雷诺兹潜在的《龙穴》电影。
时间循环概念自古以来就存在，但似乎总是在兴盛。哈罗德·雷米斯的《狂野的一天》从喜剧角度完美地探索了这个梗，而《无尽》则成功地将其诠释成恐怖片。像《死循环》之类的游戏让重复死亡变得有趣。尽管思考最周到的例子都存在于书页上，但时间循环仍然保持着吸引力。
《龙穴》的历史
瑞克·戴尔创造了一台他称之为“幻想机”的设备。它起初是一卷带有图画和文字的计算器纸，但后来变成了一个视频游戏机和光盘播放器的混合体。他设计了一款名为《迷失森林的秘密》的“图形冒险”游戏。在看过唐·布鲁斯的《尼姆的秘密》之后，他发现了缺失的元素。布鲁斯和他的团队在有限的预算下工作，为戴尔的大梦想中的一部未完成作品创作了22分钟的动画片段。那个简短的经历成为了《龙穴》，一款由激光视盘播放器驱动的街机经典。《龙穴》是一个在现代即时事件之前的固定路线体验。玩家看到一个简短的片段，做出相应反应，并激活下一个过场动画。游戏的华丽画面吸引了无数粉丝。《龙穴》登陆了几个家用游戏机和现代重新发行。它还衍生出几部续集、半续集和衍生作品。
瑞安·雷诺兹正在拍摄《龙穴》电影
《名侦探皮卡丘》和《电玩奇侠》的主演将在Netflix即将推出的《龙穴》电影改编中饰演德克尔。流媒体公司在2020年与《怪谈故事》和《疯狂酒店》的哈格曼兄弟签订了交易，他们撰写了剧本。这将是第三次尝试将戴尔的经典作品搬上大银幕。著名作家艾伦·迪恩·福斯特曾试图为80年代的一部改编编写故事，但当时的电影公司不愿购买。唐·布鲁斯和加里·戈德曼于2016年筹集了73.12万美元，以制作他们版本的《龙穴》电影，但该项目从未启动。最新的尝试似乎更有可能成功登上银幕。尽管布鲁斯无疑应该讲述这个故事，但他的机会可能已经离他而去。他被列为Netflix版本的制片人。
《龙穴》的游戏玩法可以创造出独特的故事
《龙穴》是一款关于对裂秒线索做出反应、记住每一个细节、并且永无止境地做同样事情的游戏。完美的通关大约需要12分钟，但很少有人会体验到那部有趣的短片。这是一款关于练习、重复和通过反复试错来培养预知能力的游戏。当德克尔死去时，就像他经常这样失败，屏幕上会展示他的身躯变成骷髅，然后一波魔力将他复活。他会出现在一个随机的关卡中，通常与杀死他的关卡无关。在《龙穴II：时空之旅》中，德克尔每次死亡都会从一个检查点重新开始。该游戏为第一部作品可能会使用的时间循环机制正名。

Edge of Tomorrow as an Inspiration
- Director: Doug Liman
- Writers: Christopher McQuarrie, Jez Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth
- Stars: Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, Brendan Gleeson
- Release Date: May 28, 2014
- Runtime: 113 Minutes
- Streaming on: Apple TV+, Hulu, Sling TV
Edge of Tomorrow follows Tom Cruise’s William Cage as he suffers a battlefield injury that locks him into a 24-hour time loop during a war against aliens. He was a selfish PR professional before his first death, but he learned the ways of war and became a super soldier after thousands of attempts. Like Dragon’s Lair, Cage’s experience requires constant terrible, humiliating death, and suffering. He gives several thousand lives to the cause, reacts to every warning, and wins the war the only way he can. It’s an excellent time loop action film. Dragon’s Lair would change the setting, genre, tone, and medium, but it could still take a ton from Edge of Tomorrow.
Dragon’s Lair could make a fun animated action movie. The franchise has always been celebrated for its animation over its gameplay. Of all the video game movies, it may suffer the least from the medium change. Edge of Tomorrow may look nothing like the tale of Dirk the Daring rescuing Princess Daphne from the evil dragon Singe, but it could provide the bones. Dirk the Daring should be the face of the phrase “Live, Die, Repeat.”
