What game-based movies would YOU like to see?
« on: November 11, 2011, 08:52:32 pm »
Topic is pretty simple. If you could make a movie based on a game, what would it be? Who would star? What genre? Stuff like that.

One idea I had a few minutes ago was to make a musical based on Elite Beat Agents, where three skilled dancers form a personal cheer squad to encourage people in need of help. It'd be just as zany as the game.

Another idea, one I've been kicking around for a while, is a live-action Warhammer 40,000 movie, specifically about the Ciaphas Cain series. I'm thinking Robert Downy Jr would be an excellent Cain.
Why the Ciaphas Cain series? It would have all the fluff for the devoted fans of the IP, but remain likable and humorous enough for general audiences to enjoy.

I'd honestly like to see a good game-to-movie. I don't think there's ever been one that was really liked by the original fans, and even if I hated the original game, and maybe even the movie, I still would be happy that it was created, because it would prove to the big movie execs that game movies could work and we'd probably see a lot more. Most of them would suck, but surely a few would work out.

In lieu of that, though, You Have To Burn The Rope, The Movie.

I'd love to see KotOR as a movie, without George Lucas being involved.

Off the top of my head, I would love to see Shin Megami Tensei:Strange Journey done as a movie, the Neutral Path in particular. I think it would be pretty awesome, though I don't know what actors would play which roles.

Also if they did it like how some studios do certain anime that are based off of games and visual novels, I would love to see a Fable:The Lost Chapters movie that goes through the good and evil paths in equal length. Also for the lulz, let's cast Adam Sandler as the main character. Actually wait, that would just be a Little Nicky remake. Nevermind.

Maybe it's parasitic. It never loses its flavor because you eventually die from having your nutrients stolen by it.

Ur-Quan Masters? I think that could work, honestly.

I actually think many of them I can think of would be better off as a TV series. (Which is why there are actually good game-based cartoon series, but not so much movies)

Max Payne was pretty damn good.

I'd quite like to see a film version of Bastion.

I'd watch "Spider and web" the movie, although twist would probably be not as shocking as in game form.
In general, I dislike games that seem to be easy to translate to film form.

I wonder ... is it smart amunition or dumb amunition?
