Gaming Goovies: Why games'n'movies don't mix

Jason Statham

 

Thats the one

 

Sorry, he's already doing In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007). Unfortunatly, it's being directed by Uwe Boll, which means, either
A) It'll ruin his career,
B) He'll never be asked to make another VideoGameMovie ever again.
C) Hell will freeze, the film will be great, and he'll be stuck with sequels.

 

So i appear to be the only person in the world that actually liked street fighter: the movie ?

When he engages the "stealth" and his boat disappears... Classic van damme

 

My dream goovie? Anything originating from Games Workshop. A film based on DoW would be badass. And the good thing is, Games Workshop have decades of role playing and story-telling experience, so formulating a script with a respected CGI company could create a masterpiece.

Sci-fi, spaceships, huge galaxies, unique worlds, epic battles, power-suits, Laz-cannons, exo-skeletons, explosions, ridiculously huge walking machinary, orcs, chaos....

It's all there. They have a 'Black Library' full of authors published and unpublished works. I'm sure with the millions of lines of text they could manage to squeeze out a half decent story.

 

I saw Dune mentioned as a new project but the older versions definately need a mention. Although the first version (RPG) followed the film quite closely and was a bit repetitive, the second (RTS) basically defined the whole genre.

I was thinking up a whole theory about this but then I remembered Blade Runner and X-Files and everything went to hell.

 

Omg! thread revival

anyway, American McGee's Alice would make an awesome movie if they ever get around to actually making it!
