Which video games would you like to see be turned into movies

I think the two I would love to see the most, though it would be hard because the lead would never speak.

Ocarina of Time and Half Life.

Red Hood · 11-25-2008, 08:58 PM

God of War. Soul Reaver, Legacy of Kain series.

Crim122 · 11-25-2008, 08:59 PM

And I read somewhere that Bioshock is being turned into a movie, which I think could possibly be pretty damn cool.

I was actually a part of a group of screenwriters where Stuart Beattie, the writer of the new GI Joe movie, Halo movie, Collatoral and the up and coming Australia, came and talked with us.

It was really cool. He said that he turned down BioShock for lack of an engaging story. He also turned down World of Warcraft. He said he would have had to have played it for a year to really understand the game well enough to develop it into anything worthwhile.

Metal Gear Solid and BioShock. I believe BioShock is the works.

None.

What ever happened to the Metroid movie? John Woo was supposed to be directing it so maybe there will be metroids clamping onto doves during some ridiculous shoot out with Ridley.

I dunno how I feel about a Metroid movie though cause the whole point of the series is youre alone with no help and no talking (for the most part).

I would kill to see a Zelda movie, but I don't think it will happen anytime soon.

In terms of what is realistic, I'd say:

God of War
Metal Gear Solid
Dead Space (hey, they did RE movies)

If they can find a way to make it without ruining it, Diablo has a chance to be successful. For that matter, Motorstorm could be a decent movie too. Kinda like Deathrace on an island. Film it the same way they did Speed Racer.

I think Resistance has a storyline that would translate well into a movie too. Albeit an expensive movie.

Bioshock is being made by Gore Verbinski. Don't know if it will be before or after the next Pirates.

I want a movie of Gabriel Knight Sins of the Father.

I've said it before and I will say it again. UNCHARTED is by far the best videogame on the market that could be turned into a movie. Adapting it would not even be very difficult.

plowmanjoe · 11-25-2008, 09:19 PM

most of the time, movies based on a video game suck. it's hard for me to actually think of a video game movie i actually liked.

the reverse is also true. video games based on movies suck even more.

that being said, i'd like to see a halo movie even though that idea came and went.

dvd_mazter · 11-25-2008, 09:32 PM

I'm interested to see the Gears of War film that is coming.

Galactus · 11-26-2008, 06:21 AM

Mega Man
Dark Watch
and a Mortal Kombat 3 would be nice.

zombieking · 11-26-2008, 05:42 AM

I really liked the story for The Force Unleashed and was thinking how much better it is than all the new SW films.

also:
God of War
Dead Space
RFOM
Heavenly Sword
Something from the D&D universe(something good, not the crap Hollywood's already done)
