get the guy who made "Brotherhood of the Wolf" to make "Soul Caliber"

Personally, I think that whoever does the opening introes to the games now could do pretty well with the action scenes of a movie.

What riveting concepts are inherent to Soul Calibur which demand to be expanded upon in cinematic form?
If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now! All votes for me! Wheeee!" -- Lagmonster

See, movie studios think you're being serious when you say things like that. So they spend sixty million dollars making a movie like Aeon Flux, and I make a thread to laugh at them when nobody goes to see it.

Getting the guy who did Brotherhood of the Wolf to do things is never a bad plan, but I'd be just as well with anything else .
"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia

You know, I can actually remember a time when I said to my friends that someone would someday make a shitload of money off of movies based on Final Fantasy/ Resident Evil/ Wing Commander/ Double Dragon/ Super Mario Brothers/ Doom.
And now? Now I'm just going to SHUT THE FUCK UP.

A game that would work more than well as a movie is Deus Ex. This, of course, is only if it's done right. as a political/conspiracy/thriller/sci-fi movie, with the action not emphasized. In fact, I would even go so far as to say that any action should be downplayed. That's not what the game is about, and it would only hurt a movie to try to make it a popcorn flick.

Personally, I'm hoping for a Max Payne film, preferably starring either Brad Pitt or Edward Norton. It have a soundtrack of him constantly internal monologuing as he systematically shoots up every building in New York City, then hallucinates for an hour or so ^_^DesertFly wrote:A game that would work more than well as a movie is Deus Ex.

The bloke who directed Brotherhood of the Wolf (Christophe Gans) already did Crying Freeman and the Silent Hill movie coming out next year is also done by him.

I'd like to believe that one could make a totally awesome movie out of Paper Mario 2, except that everyone would get jealous of Mario. You know it to be true.

All could be done well, although Fallout (Fallout 2 in particular) is practically made for moviedom with the mutants, evil goverment conspiracy, ray guns etc...Enigma wrote:I'd like to see a Fallout movie or an Arcanum movie. Baldur's Gate?
It depends on the success of Fallout 3 by Bethesda, and the possibility of the Mad max 3 movie succeeding.
Baldurs gate could be a very good basis for a D&D movie, but if they use they crap involved with the first movie I'd prefer it to die rather than being ruined.

Hey, the second movie - "Wrath of the Dragon King" or whatever - was actually pretty good.DEATH wrote:All could be done well, although Fallout (Fallout 2 in particular) is practically made for moviedom with the mutants, evil goverment conspiracy, ray guns etc...Enigma wrote:I'd like to see a Fallout movie or an Arcanum movie.

Second movie was, so far as I could tell, completely unrelated to the first in any way.drachefly wrote:There was a second movie?
Oh well. The first one was dumb enough as it was. I mean, they showed off a BEHOLDER at one point, and it never came up again.
Don't play with us like that, okay? ::sigh::

Can't argue with that though,Now the 2nd war, that's the money shot.

id love to see a 40k movie, especially with all the technology capable of creating epic battles (kingdom of heaven, LOTR) they could have some really sick imperial guard vs. chaos marines shots, and then the space marines could come, and all the imperial guardsmen who are laughing about dock and fart jokes and staring at the pin ups inside their helmets would shut the fuck up as they walked byCaptain tycho wrote:Don't feel ashamed, I pretty much said the same things when I was younger.Lagmonster wrote:You know, I can actually remember a time when I said to my friends that someone would someday make a shitload of money off of movies based on Final Fantasy/ Resident Evil/ Wing Commander/ Double Dragon/ Super Mario Brothers/ Doom.

Ok, want a Video Game that could really work as a Movie?
Metroid...
Seriously! Between the backstory you can put in concerning Samus and the Spacepirates attacking her colony. Her being raised by the Chozo, and of course the backstory of the Metroids themselves, you actually have enough aspects for a worth while "plot" Plus...
It has
Explsions,
Chicks in Power armour,
Lots of weapons,
Spaceships,
More explosions,
And a big Brain Monster at the end.
Perfect Summer Blockbuster!

Kidding, seriosly Metroid is tailor made for a movie or 4, but they'd want a man in the suit, or constant strip scenes (one would be enough ), and would otherwise fuck it up.
It really is tailor made for a trilogy or five-ology, with the greater threat revealed, monsters, Babe, Metroids, Space (ninja) Pirates, massive monsters and a built in large amount of disposable extras (the contingent of galactic marines who always end up slaughtered before Samus arrives)
