    Default The Video Game movie that just HAS TO HAPPEN .

    All these crappy videogame movies got me thinking.

    What video game would make a good movie? Not anime now a real movie with actors.

    These 3 I'd like to see...with minimal effort they could easily become the best 3 videogame movies ever produced.

    The Legend of Zelda (Action Adventure)
    Silent Hill (Horror)
    and
    Grand Theft Auto (Gangster)

    I don't think a Zelda movie could ever live up to my expectations, I don't ever want it to happen. Warcraft on the other hand has amazing potential... keep it in house at blizzard and make it a full CG movie just like the WC3 cutscenes. It would be absolutely astonishing.

    I think Joust would make a great movie! Also, Combat and Breakout!

    I think movies based on Howard Scott Warshaw's E.T. and Raiders Of The Lost Ark games for the 2600 could be pretty spectacular. If you could get Steven Spielberg in on 'em - and I know this is kinda far-fetched since he's an A-list director, but stick with me here...uh, hey, where'd everyone go?

    There will be no good video-game-based movie. Just like there will never be a top-notch game based on a movie. This is the way of marketing.

    Actually, Roger Ebert just gave the new Tomb Raider movie a decent review (Three Stars)... here is the link: http://www.suntimes.com/output/ebert...s-lara25f.html

    I think Metal Gear has the best hope, but the concept has kind of been done to death by Hollywood allready.

    What about a live action Final Fantasy? Or one of my favorite PC games -- System Shock?

    There already have been top notch games based on movies.

    TRON for example

    About a month ago IGN had a list of all the movies that were in the progress, based on video games. The only one I rember though is Max Payne.
    Somebody make me a "CGE 2k7 Attendee banner" so I don't have to use this lame text
