What video game would you like to see made into a movie?
 

I was checking out Diesel Mac's thread about mortal kombat being the greatest video game movie and I agree. I just wanted to see everyone's opinion on which games would make good movies (sequels included). This may have been done but i'm new.I'll go first


I would actually like to see a second Silent Hill

Another MK was in the works with all the originals coming back but I think it got scrapped. :(

For those of you thinking about a GTA movie, I read that the rumor was shot down.

A Mass Effect movie would be cool.

This is such an easy one for me they have to make a Wolfenstein movie sooner or later but they have to do it properly not half assed like most video game movies are done.

Try eHarmony.com

METAL GEAR SOLID

I was going to say the Neverhood, but apparently there are already plans for a movie. :D

Spider-Man 2 The Game

Madden

wii sports

No way could they describe such a convulted story in an AT LEAST 3 hour movie.

It would require a mini series on Showtime or HBO.

Ilm also writing a Left 4 Dead movie along with my Team Fortress movie.

There will be 3 sequels to the L4D movie.

I'm a busy man :-(

Legend of Zelda

/thread

Honestly, none. What's the point?

That's why you condense, cut out, add in, formulate a plot easier to follow and make it a rockin feature. If the fans are so fucking dipshit to even expect all of the drama from the series as a whole in one movie, fuck em.

I'm out to rape childhoods.

Monkey Island, PotC style.

NHL '96

Also, 'Cool Spot'.

Remember the Super Mario Brothers movie? :lol:

No. Are you talking about the TV show instead?

Duke Nukem? I'd have low expectations, but it could be a little bit decent..

Burger Time.
ToeJam and Earl.
Road Rash (Hell yeah!)
MARBLE MADNESS!!!!!

Why would you want a movie of a modern day game. They practicly ARE movies.

Legend of Zelda and Metroid are at the top of my list.

Castlevania would be cool, as well as a proper street fighter movie.

Like seriously, probably the most ironic suggestion.

That is another excellent suggestion.

Also, Pixar should make a Mario Bros. movie. That would be awesome.

Maniac Mansion would be cool as a movie. I'm aware they made a tv show that was nothing like the game.

A CG Mario movie or even Luigis Mansion? I see potential for a childrens movie in either.

I agree with MGS. They could make it a trilogy if cutting the story down wasn't going to work.
Metroid could work to. I remember there was news that someone bought the rights to make one or someone had written a script and they knew who they wanted as Samus or something. That was about 2 or 3 years ago now.

Asteroids is getting a movie and if they can make a movie about Asteroids, any game can have one...

...except Zelda. A Zelda movie would have a cast that sound like they are from California. I'm betting they'd probably get Zac Eferon as Link if they ever did a Zelda movie but like I said when the April Fools prank Zelda movie trailer came out, Miyamoto has said a bunch of times that he'd never allow a Zelda movie.

Yeah, that has been planned for a while. It was on and off a lot for a while but now it's in the works, apparantly. It'll be claymation. I can't see it being widely released in cinemas with it's strange world and story and with it being claymation in a world where everything that's not live action is CG. I'm thinking it could go to one of those "art" cinemas.

Zelda
Metroid
Final Fight

What about Contra or Golden Axe?

And ToeJam and Earl, I mentioned above about that, I'd kill myself laughing if I went to deliver mail in a blue mailbox then it just grew arms and legs and started chasing me going "BLALALALAL!" I might do that for Halloween this year - or even today. Dress up as a mailbox then someone comes....

Starcraft.

I actually watched Silent Hill with a friend on demand.

It was one of the most depressing movies I've ever seen in my life. And not depressing in a good way, like how a great film might make you feel down or bleak about certain things or the characters.

It just depressed the shit out of us how bad it was, and how bland and boring it was. It was brutally violent and bizarre, but in a tasteless manner. It wasn't even interesting or scary like horror should be. It was just tasteless.
The entire thing was like a rainy day in an eastern european slum. Did I mention how boring, tasteless, and drab this movie is?

I legitimately class it as one of the worst 5-10 movies I've ever seen.

I'd like to see a Zelda or Halo movie done right. They probably have the best chances of adapting in a quality manner, and have a good amount of people who will give a fuck.

But they won't be done right. It would take a lot of money and a skilled filmmaker to correctly do either, and the studios won't invest either into it.

So I say they're better left alone

Battletoads!

Supposedly they're working on getting Earthworm Jim back into the mainstream - either on TV or in theatres.

trauma center

Anything, directed by Uwe Bohl.

Just saw Postal and heard his other shit is even more ridicilous.

Goldeneye... :shifty:

Metal Gear Solid 4 doesnt count?

No.

Spider-Man 2 The Game The Movie 2

I was shopping the other day and saw the Transformers 2 video game sitting on the shelf, and realized that it was a videogame, based on a movie, that's a sequel, of a movie based on a cartoon, that was based on action figures.

It would only be funnier if it was lego transformers.

Splinter Cell

Shaq-Fu :shifty:

Pong

http://liquidarchitecture.files.word...09/07/doom.jpg

Based on the old games. Just total mayhem and gore for two hours.

um...

http://www.therawfeed.com/pix/doomposter.jpghttp://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/image....L._AA240_.jpg

I actually liked DOOM.

F.E.A.R
Prototype
Uncharted

I will agree that on a horror movie scale it did come up short. but it had alot of the elements the game has so it held true on what the game is about. The reason I would like to see a sequel is hoping they base it off the silent hill 2 game which in my opinion is the best of the series.

Pong;

Protagonists' friend: Come on Pro you gotta do it and win the pong championship, I believe in you!

Protagonist: I'm Not coming out of retirement

Protagonists' boss: GET BACK TO SWEEPING THE FLOOR!

I take it you people've heard about the Tetris movie plans?

lol It can't be.

Unfortunately Uwe Bohl declined the offer.

Fuck, games can only be anime or saturday morning cartoons at best. They just never translate well because moviegoers who are not gamers and gamers just have way different expectations.

Pong

"The story of a ball, caught between the paddle he loves, and the paddle who is carrying his baby."

The suffering... seriously it would be really good

Oh you didn't know?

So what are you saying now?

Tekken will be with us soon.

I read Batista is King and Nathan Jones is also in it.

Already being made. I believe I read that Chiwetel Ejiofor was cast as Torque.

I think a Manhunt movie could be made. As long as it was a hard, hard R.

Also think Soul Calibur could be done. I'd prefer to see it done as more of a "historical epic" than a "video game movie". The story could be made straightforward enough for a 2 hour flick.

The casting for that is actually really good.

Jackie Chan- Lei Wulong
Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa - Heihachi
Chiaki Kuriyama(Gogo from Kill Bill)- Ling Xiaoyu
Nathan Jones- Craig Murdock
Lateef Crowder(Capoiera fighter in The Protector)- Eddie Gordo
Batista- King

Only weird one is Ron Pearlman as Paul Phoenix.wtf

Also, I don't like how many characters are in the movie. Shoehorning too many people in the movie can end in mortal kombat annihilation like failure. I mean, fucking Drugunov is in it, ffs.

Duck Hunt

Gertner, this is serious business. There is no place here for your tomfoolery.

they could just use the script from the suffering video game and it would be better than most of the horrer/thriller movies out there

Supposedly it comes out in 2011. For what it's worth

Will Yoshimitsu be in Tekken? He's the only one I know. Him and Taki. And that dude who did Hammer of the Gods. Who's that

That film is more based on Doom 3. Which came out about 15 years after the previous Doom games.

Same here. Good film. But sadly I've never played Doom 3, which this is more based on.

I want a Doom film based on the old-school Doom. Bring out the Cacodemons and Mancubus. And where's the Spider-Mastermind? Yeah! Total fucking mayhem is what I want! :mad:

Check your sources, that cast list is iffy. Some are right, others are wishful thinking.

Okay.

Source is imdb.

There's no mention of Nathan Jones as Murdock on imdb.

Rhea Perlman would be as good of a choice.

I remember imdb said 50 cent was going to be in zelda

I would be fine with that

Just a thought Outsider. Are you talking of making Final Fantasy 7 the game directly into a movie. There is no way you could have the entire original plot in it. Although, if it wasnt animated, I would love to see the fanboys reaction to Sephiroth stabbing Aerith

As who? The fairy?
