As everyone knows video game based movies usually are just dreck. You'll get the occaisional good ones, for example Mortal Kombat and maybe Tomb Raider. But if you could get a really good video game based movie what game would you like to see turned into a movie?
I'd like to see Metal Gear Solid 3 turned into a movie. If only because it has one of the best stories and plot twist in a video game that i've ever seen.
Duke Nukem :thumbup:
I love Metal Gear!!! However, I'm in the camp that doesn't want to see it as a movie.
Games I wouldn't mind seeing as films...
MDK
Half-Life
Mega-Man
Metroid
I don't really play a lot of games but. .
Dungeon Keeper (http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-qzcELew6frWBZspks_7SsnUuv9VNTUA-?cq=1&p=72)
Waxwork (this would make an awesome horror movie)
Leisure Suit Larry (Directed by John Waters)
Wasteland/Fallout
Prince of Persia
Veil of Darkness (could make an awesome suspense/thriller)
Gauntlet (better as a TV series)
Elite (could also work as a TV series)
Star Raiders/Space Raiders (ancient Atari game that had a comic adaptation.)
Adventure (ancient Atari game with a very simple fantasy premise that Hollywood can't possibly foul up)
Leather Goddesses of Phobos (dir by John Waters)
Blake Stone (this could be fun)
Corridor 7 (technically made as DOOM but...)
Doom (a movie actually following the GAME STORY)
And ANY of the Gold Box D&D games. An adaptation of those can't possibly be any worse than the official D&D movies.
I think Parasite Eve would make a good movie (yeah, I know there's a movie with the title out there, but from what I've heard it has virtually NOTHING to do with the game.)
Can't help but think Chronotrigger would make an awesome movie. I see it as an anime film myself.
(BTW, whatever happened to that series? They had a sequel, ChronoCross, and then, nothing...)
Portal
Very simple basic game that is extreme great. It could make a good movie or a good straight to DVD movie.
Devil May Cry would make a good action movie.
Golden Axe.
War of the Monsters from PS2
One game that I absouletly love is Eternal Darkness for the Gamecube. It's a very Lovecraftian game. You would need either a mini-series or a tv show to really flesh out the story and get the full effect. And make it a cable series so nothing would be toned down.

Heck now that I think about it the games are practically movies already. some of those cutscenes go on for hours.
Simple:
Bruce Willis is Dig Dug. Best video game movie, ever.
They best get started on that.
Pong. I picture Brad Pitt and Angelina Joile as paddles, Dennis Hopper as the ball.

I like the way you think. Maybe give Waters a shot at "Custer's Revenge" also.

Now that you mention it Angelina Joile would be perfect for the role of "adventurer" in ADVENTURE, Brad Pitt could play the bat-creature, and Dennis Hopper could be the Dragons (both of 'em).
That's some BRILLIANT casting you came up with Rev. Powell!
:cheers:

Think a friend had something like that for C=64. He had a disc full of weird games like that. Don't remember much about them, save there was one that had a camel in it and it was apparently a porno version of some popular trading game or somesuch.
But the "adult" games really worthy of a movie adaptation were the special agent hentai RPGs. Those were silly-fun, sort of like porn Tetris, with the "revealed" pics getting more and more risque the further into the game you got.
I've said too much haven't I?
:bouncegiggle:
def mario bros!
God Hand directed by Quentin Tarantino
I've been dying for someone to make Space Quest or Quest for Glory into a movie! or at least a TV show!
Don't know if it's possible as a live action flick, but in a CGI/Animated category, I'd like to see:
Earthworm Jim: The Movie.
Bioshock.
Leisure suit Larry. :teddyr:
Also, Team Fortress 2, as a pixar style (except violent) animation.
The Adventures Of Alundra

Bioshock.
I have heard that this is going to happen. Big surprise....yup.
Imo Bioshock b4 Metal Gear Solid = fail.
I said it b4, I'll say it again - I'm sure Metal Gear Solid would make tons at the box office.
Also - I would LOVE to see a Castlevania movie done right! Mmmmmm Mmm
PS.
Please keep the directors that made the Super Mario Bros movie away from all of the above, thank you lol.
Some people mentioned Mega Man. When I saw G.I.Joe, and they got to the infamous "Power Suit" scene, I thought they looked like what a live action Mega Man would look like.
If they limited the CGI, and relied on stunts and practiacl effects-I think they could make an interesting Mirror's Edge movie.
Sinistar!
Maniac Mansion and Deja Vu. Oh yeah, and The Farmer's Daughter. :wink:
I was going to say Clock Tower, but surprise, surprise, it is being made into a film! It'll probably suck though.

I'm pretty sure they're all being made into movies.
Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix would be a good one.
Honestly, I don't see why they bother. Hollywood just makes a bunch of CGI crapfests that are completely forgotten by the time you get into your car afterwards.

Metal gear solid
Gears of War... I have read that they are making these.. I hope they dont suck.
Oddworld: Abe's oddysee~ I have never been able to save them all :bluesad:
I'd like to see a normal Hitman movie. The one that exists doesn't deserve to bear that name.
Of other games, I'd like a movie for the Heroes of Might and Magic games. I'd also like to see an Oblivion movie, and maybe Gothic. Oh, and a sequel/prequel to Postal.
Pong.
Just kidding :bouncegiggle:
God of War, and Soul Caliber would make for good movies.
Also, they should make a Grand Theft Auto movie. But instead of following one of the plots, it should be about some guy who carjacks an old lady, and then through a random series of events ends up being chased by the army... while in a speed boat.. Also he can make guns and jet packs appear out of thin air.

Great minds think alike---I made that same joke back in April. :tongueout:

Yeah; good idea! Mr. Pitt and Ms. Jolie have stiff acting styles, so I'd say that's perfect casting. As for the ball, maybe a fat actor would be appropriate? Although seeing a weirdo like Dennis Hopper being hit back and forth is a keen concept.
bioshock
beyond good and evil
mirror's edge (imagine the stunts! and they should use STUNTS not CGI)
Couldn't find an easily embeddable version of this, but here's a link to Robot Chicken's take on a Dig Dug movie.
