Discuss them here...

What I'd like to see is a movie based on American McGee's Alice. This game is so messed up... I think it would make a really cool movie.

I just think its a bad idea in general.

The fact is any game that can be turned into a movie doesn't have enough story.

And if you where to adapt an RPG or something like Starcraft that has a good story it would all turn to shit because Video Games have 40 hours to tell there plot and a movie has two.

i dont mean make a movie that is a carbon copy of the game. It could just be set in the same universe or just have the same basic idea... a half life movie would be about an alien invasion but we wouldnt follow the characters looking for keys or anything like that.

Mechwarrior/Battletech is RIPE for it.

First off, it isn't one long story, it is a bunch of little stories and you could make a movie easily out of one of those, without getting bogged down trying to tell EVERYTHING.

Secondly... mechs are cool.

Wes Craven was developing that very project last I heard.



Hitman - The cloned assassin with a concious. Now there's a story that could be beefed up, Leon style. Ie - it would have to be a non-Hollywoodcentric production.

I made someone's day

*beams*

I know they've talked about Milla Jovovich playing Alice


bad news though...as of 9/10/03 upcominghorrormovies.com has the status as canned, but has a quote from Wes saying it's on the back burning

keep your fingers crossed...I know I will

sorry :(

Castlevania, Metroid, or Zelda.
