Metal Gear is begging for movie-dom. as is silent hill, provided SH were directed by somebody of, say, Clive Barker's caliber.

yeah. . . .it'd require a superb director, a superb script and a big budget. it'd be really tough to pull off, but could be excellent if someone did.

Freespace 1 and 2, I don't care how, but I'd pay lots to see it.

David Mamet. No question at all, he'd make a rocking movie out of this material.

Straha · Post by **Straha** » 2004-09-29 07:40pm

Hmmm....

Homeworld, Morrowind, Diablo, Warcraft, Oregon Trail

, and maybe, if you could get the right director, Myst.

Dawn of War

Come on, 40k needs a movie like the intro to DoW.

Are we talking about a perfect world senerio where the movie would be done great? Or that should be made into a movie because it would easily make the transition?

Perfect World:
Metroid(heres hoping)
Resident Evil(2 and to a lesser extent one are not RE)
Halflife
Megaman(completely impossible to ever be done the way I want)

Real world:

I've always thought that Alpha Centauri would have made a great TV series. I could imagine a five season arc, some factions would be destroyed as the series pregressed and the series finale would end with Planet waking up and the people transcending. Would have been awesome.

I thought that there were already a couple of Metal Gear movies. They just released them on some sort of special format that would only work in game consoles.

Return To Castle Wolfenstein!!!!!

I think Starcraft would make a kickass movie

White Haven · Post by **White Haven** » 2004-09-29 09:36pm

I could see the original Homeworld making a great /pair/ of movies. You'd have to do two, to avoid rushing it and having it either skip a load or be nothing but action sequences. Like has been said, in a /perfect/ world...

With Val Kilmer as the Master Chief?

Last I checked there was no "Master Chief" in Metal Gear.

Seriously, Spartan is a perfect example of why Mament would do a bang up job with Metal Gear. Not only would Mamet-speak be perfect for a Metal Gear movie, but the concepts that are at the core of Metal Gear (espionage, political intrigue, lone hero character, conspiracy) are Mamet's bread and butter.

Monster Hunter could provide a bang-up setting for some serious Special Effects and kicks ass sequences. Maybe center it on a group of Hunters trying to stop a wyvern from terrorizing a village or some such (or if the budget's high enough and the right SFX company is picked one of the actual dragons like Lao-Shan Lung)
