Games that should be made into Movies

[thegame370]

With the recent adaptions of games to movies like Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, etc., what others would you like to see?
I think they should make a movie out of the Silent Hill Series, prefferably the 2nd game. It Should star Kiefer Sutherland as the main character James Sunderland and be directed by David Fincher.

[Grimfarrow]

I completely agree with you about Silent Hill 2. However, David Fincher is a terrible choice - a much better one is Kiyoshi Kurosawa. If you've seen "Cure" and "Kairo", you'll know why.

Who would you pick to play the lead?

[Goldberg74]

I think they should make Duke Nukem into a movie with Ben Affleck as the lead... that would be cool! (Just kidding!)

If they did it right, a live-action Legend of Zelda movie would be a fun one, but then again they would probably screw it up.

[PixyJunket]

I want to see a gangster hip hop version of Pac-Man.

[Cyberock]

Halo could be a cool sci-fi movie

[Groucho]

Diablo of course.

I'd second that... Metroid could be cool if done right also.

[Justin00787]

Metroid!!!! Oh wait, thats already in the works

[nemein]

Halo - A: VinDiesel (although he probably won't want to wear the suit/helmet and I wouldn't give him much dialog ;)) D: Cameron
AvP - A: I think I'd follow the comic and original alien idea and give it a female lead... noone comes to mind off hand though D: Twohy (Pitch Black, Below)
Silent Hill - I like the Kiefer idea, and I even like Fincher usuallyBlinx - Sat morning cartoon
Spy Hunter - although it would probably turn into a generic James Bond knock off
Extermination - same w/ Spy Hunter (except The Thing instead of JB ;)) and I don't think this game ever generated enough of a following

Unfortunately all the other games I've been playing recently have either been based on movies themselves (LotR, Kung-Fu Chaos) or are too generic to really do anything w/ I mean how many different films do we already have along the lines of SOCOM or the Tom Clancy things...

Metal Gear Solid!. The story of MGS is better than that of most of mainstream movies.

I can really picture Hugh Jackman in the role of Solid Snake.

They made this one already. Check out Metal Gear Solid 2. There is more in game cinema than actual game play.

LOL i was about to say that the topic is about games that should be made into movies, not movies that should be made into games.

[sniper308]

Tron ... oh wait a minute, :D

[edstein]

We can only dream that they would make Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball a movie. :drool:

I heard that a Dead or Alive flick is in the works tho, minus the volleyball.

Would be kind of cool if they could work in a volleyball scene for the fans of the series though...

thankfully, the movie license for the Metroid Movie expires a few months ago.

I want to see it as much as anyone, especially after seeing how cool Samus was in Metroid Prime, but I know they'll screw it up...well maybe not...but the odds are against VG-movies.

[bender b]

hey guys, thought i'd add my two cents as a long time lurker and a first time poster... i think it'd be cool to see Chrono Trigger. Not live action though, but CG, kinda like Final Fantasy: TSW. Could be a huge, sprawling epic what with the time travel, exotic locales, giant cast of characters and all.

[ipkevin]

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City would be a great film, but if they wanted to be at all faithful it would cost $120 million, be R-rated, and condemned by every critic on the planet. Oh wait, they made it already. It was called Bad Boys 2.

[thegame370]

I think someone mentioned it on this board before but i think a Splinter Cell movie would be cool. And ofcourse i think everone agrees how much Sam Fisher looks like George Clooney, i even titled my Splinter Cell save file Danny Ocean, get it, i hope so.

[lesterlong]

Grand Theft Auto 3. I can't think of a director that could handle the project, at least the way I picture the movie.

[jekbrown]

Splinter Cell, Resident Evil (that other re "movie" isnt RE IMO so it doesnt count, its crap), Duke Nukem, Ghost Recon, castlevania, twisted metal, Panzer General, dead to rights, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, spy hunter, Aztec, Fatal Fury...

j

[asabase]

Wing Commander....oh wait.... :p

[David_M]

"Virtual Valerie 2" ;)

"I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" of course it was a book first, but cool game when it came out.

"Leisure Suit Larry" maybe have Eugene Levy play Larry.

"Ultima" Would be alittle to much like LOTR's, but I'd see it.

[Deftones]

Here's my list:

Zelda would be my first choice. Make it a bit like The Lord of the Rings and it would be a sure hit.

Metal Gear Solid for obvious reasons.

Final Fantasy (take your pick). FF7 would be the best, but it would be almost impossible to make a movie about a game that long.

Dino Crisis

Devil May Cry

Silent Hill

[thegame370]

Anybody here ever play Shadow of Destiny on the PS2, it was one of the early titles and came and went without being noticed that much, but it was a helluva game. Its about a guy named Eike who gets killed in the beginning of the game but gets a second chance only to find himself trying to prevent future deaths by means of time travel. I think it would make a pretty good movie as well. If you've never played it, you should, but i think its pretty hard to find now.

[Grimfarrow]

Some of my other choices:

The Last Express
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers
Trinity

[Groucho]

Eternal Darkness has a lot of potential.

[fmian]

Fallout.
With Ed Norton acting as the lead.
Directed by the guy who did Mad Max.

[Trigger]

Just wanna come in and say that I thought Resident Evil was an awesome movie and I can't wait for RE2. I thought the director did a fantastic job with the material.

[Drexl]

Wolfenstein - a Steven Spielberg film

[Trigger]

Heck yeah... Wolfenstein would make a great movie. So would Deus Ex and Half Life and System Shock

[Aphex Twin]

King's Quest
Day of the Tentacle
The Sims
GTA
