Poll: Which Video Game Series Do You Want To See Have Movies Based On Them?

[superdelux]

NONE EVER AGAIN, you couldn't make a 2-hour movie out of an 3 to 100-hour game, it just could not work.

 

[super_mumbles]

I think a Fallout Movie could be quite good if it was done in a similar style to the fan film which was featured a while back. Wish I remembered the name of it.

I'm not the biggest fan of the Fallout series but I think a movie would be awesome.

Hmm, I liked that Assassins Creed 2 miniseries they did a while back. If they ever did a whole movie like that I'd probably go see it.

There was a Bioshock movie in the works, but it went the way of Del Toro's Lovecraft movie. Unfortunately, no studio wants to support a multimillion dollar R-rated film. If I had the money, I would pay for it myself. I want to see that movie so bad.

Project Zero. I was playing through that game earlier just because I'd been talking about PZ4 in another thread and it'd make a perfect J-horror movie.

Has everyone in this thread gone insane or something? We KNOW videogames make terrible movies, so why are people saying they want to see MORE of them?!

 

[mjc0961]

Other: none. Games are games and not movies in the first place for a reason. Taking a game and making it into a movie removes all the interactivity. Why the hell would I ever want that to happen?

I want to see a Pokemon movie.
It doesn't make sense that there'd be so many games and a TV show but noooo mooovies.

Spoiler

Even if everyone else apparently missed it.

 

[Thaliur]

Can I minus-vote World of Warcraft?

And where is Beyond Good & Evil?
I can imagine it pretty well... "Aww, what a cute movie, with little talking animal childr... OH MY GOD HIDE THE KIDS!"

 

[Shameless]

They should totally make a Monkey Island movie, but only if it was animated

Because no director of talent has been linked to any of them, a good director will study the story and will know what to do with it, however Hollywood don't have time for that, they just want to use the game's name to make money.

 

[jumjalalabash]

Sweet merciful christ Final Fantasy is on the poll. The horror, the horror...

 

[SammiYin]

Bioshock
Or a MUCH more brutal remake of Mortal Kombat

 

[Lilani]

Team Fortress 2. Need I say more?

It would need to be animated, though. A live action version would be intolerably cheesy.

 

[nbamaniac]

Fallout 3 with Keanu Reeves to perfectly simulate the wooden plank faces of every npc in the game.. and ofc with Uwe Boll as the director. *shock and awe*

 

[Johnny Reb]

I adore the Elder's scroll series but how would you make a movie out of them? Without them becoming terrible.

Really, I'm gonna go with Metal Gear. Done well, I think a metal gear movie would be kickass

Did you read The Infernal City? that was TES based but was a totally different story then the whole "Uriel Septem" thing. like that.

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

Other: Mass Effect.

Either the first game's plot (with the fetch-quests cut out) would make a pretty excellent movie. Preferably with a female actress playing Shepard. ^^

 

[OctoH]

I have been waiting on a Rainbow Six movie for a long time. I would also not complain about a Splinter Cell movie. Of the choices you gave, though, Assassin's Creed would be my pick.

 

[Antidrall]

I want Final Fantasy to be made into a movie, preferably the incredibly bad ones (7-13). That way when all the characters are given voices and everything, fans will sit back and think "Wow...these guys are effin' emo."

 

[Fralf]

Fallout, but to do it right would probably mean an R rating due to all the messed up stuff that would happen in it.

 

[-Drifter-]

I'd only want to see a video-game movie for a game/franchise if it would actually be a welcome addition and/or benefit the source material.

In which case I elect none other than... Diablo. To be more specific, the first game. Diablo is somewhat infamous for having a dark, complex back-story that no-one ever bothers with, and you could be forgiven for not realizing it was there at all. A movie adaptation could fix this, bringing the plot to light and, if done right, could be a great blend of action and horror (emphasis more on the horror, please.)
