Games they should make movies for

Post by mluitjens1031 »

We all know of the most popular game-based movies, such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill. What are some games that don't have a movie yet but should?

I always thought a Metal Gear movie would be cool, possibly a GTA movie (though there are many movies with this idea).

There were plans to make a Metal Gear Solid movie, however after mucking about for awhile Konami said they were concerned that it could effect the Metal Gear Solid franchise if the movie performed badly.

They need to make a Monkey Island movie, though in all honesty the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie had a lot of similarities.

Generally speaking they just need to stay away from video games as movie source, sometimes it works, in the case of the Dead Space fillers, but when they try to make big commercial box office movies, it is 9.9/10 times met with failure.

I'm a big fan of bastardizations, and I'm not joking here.

If I ever have a lot of money, one of the things I want to do with it is open a restaurant that's like the Olive Garden and call it "Bastard Pasta."

Also, in all seriousness, "Super Mario Bros" is one of my favorite movies.
