Community Spotlight: FINAL FANTASY VII Fan Film

For those of you who are inseparable from the internet (it's our lifeline) then there's a strong chance you stumbled across this gem in the last couple of days. We all have our own ways of celebrating and idolising our favourite games, be it fan-art, fan fiction, or just chatting about it online, but it takes some truly talented people to pull off making a film. Enter Gionata Medeot and Mattia Ferraro who've set their minds on producing an entire live action FINAL FANTASY VII film. They've just released a teaser and it has hit the internet in a massive way. 

 

 

So what do you think of their teaser video. Is this something that you'd love to see? As a fan if you could make a live action film of any Square Enix game what would it be?

 

Don't forget that if you've found something you think should be highlighted on the blog then please tell us on twitter by sending a tweet to @Square_Enix_EU with the hashtag #SECommunity, by leaving us a comment below, or by emailing secommunity@square-enix.com.

I would love to see the Final Fantasy 7 go into a movie! I was hoping for it for a remake for ps3 but this trailer put chills down my spine as well!
@zumo34 I'm with you with Nier, great game, GREAT characters amazing plot with a lot of twist and turns and one of the greatest soundtracks ever, I would really love to see that in a movie!
we are doing our best :) - Tifa-
I want this for a remastered version of final fantasy VII ! Please Square-Enix, give it to your fans!
I Want it as Real Movie!!!
I think it's impressive how the woman who is playing Aerith captured her character perfectly! It looks great! Does anyone know how long they have been working on this?

As for a live action film of any Square Enix game, I would go for Nier. I know not many people liked it but I think it would make a great film. Very loveable characters, great story and quite a few shocks!
Now you understand how the Italian fans are related to your brand, we'd like you kept it more seriously!
More than you know! My team is made up of almost entirely Italians and Spaniards ;)
I am proud to be Italian. Their site will go up very soon and, to bring this diamond to life, i will donate some euro! Hope you guys will feel the same!
Peace.
i'd really like to see a fan made ff 7 movie!
I'll be one of the random few who says there needs to be a movie for Final Fantasy IX or Dissidia Duodecim. :)
@Ben Bateman: is it possible post some picture of our cosp and work about the teaser? I've some Tifa pics for You! just asking :) thank you so much
Amazing Video! It's very nice!!^^
Oh Yeah!
Alanis Morissette is playing the role of Aerith. "I have one hand in my pocket, and the other is casting white Holy..."
I want to play the role of Sephiroth. The one-chicken-winged bad guy.
Yes I saw this on Kotaku, and loved it instantly! I would pay to watch a live action Final Fantasy film over and over, until the DVD release. I couldn't think of anything more amazing. I've always wished the games could be turned into books (which I've read is now happening with the first 3 in Japan), so I could enjoy the full story without spending over 100 hours minimum (yeah I'm a completionist) playing a game. But film is just as good =)

As for picking a game to make a film of myself, it'd have to be Final Fantasy VI. There's just a LOT of depth to that story, and so many amazing plot events. Characters, locations, backstory - it's all brilliant, and would match the scale of say The Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones. I suppose my first choice would have been VII, but with it being a 3D game, and having Advent Children, we can already see how epic it is. The surprise of seeing VI like that for the first time, would be much greater.
*bankrupt :P
i ask a simple question with a follow up that they should go into the film business.

it is a Full movie still yes the trailer or teaser look good.

what did You SE did into films a film spin off of FF7AC and a flop FF-spirits within lol

just stick to games SE, it nearly bunkrupt you. ^_-
Sort of reminded me of the video for Korean singer IVY's song Sonata of Temptation where they did a live action recreation of the fight scene from Advent's Children between Tifa and Loz :)
* Fact i mean, what is wrong with me today my internet connections bit off today too.
I saw barret too and right at the end cloud grab the sword.

Has SE funded the film? then these guys need to grow into movies

according to the that is a fantasy game tifa They never invented the bra lol. :D
This is entirely unofficial and not affiliated with Square Enix in any way - Sorry I have to be very upfront about this.

The Community Spotlight is one of my favourite blog segments. I couldn't resist not pointing this out. As someone who's trying to get into amateur film making myself I know how hard it is to make something look that good. They should be very proud of this teaser.
don't worry about me. Next time, in the trailer my bra will be perfect and also all the costume ;D thank you dears!
Really nice video.
* Im talking about the huge poly graphics on tifa chest ^_^
If tifa hasn't got her trademark Bigboobs then Im not watching.
