Should be interesting, but the video game to movie deal has gone wrong before.

Wasn't this Lord of the Flies in Atlantis?

who cares it will suck like most vid to movies do. give me a final fantasy movie that is actual fantasy and i am there

and when was the last time a competent director got a hold of a video game movie...never. I have good faith that this will atleast be visually translated well at the least. But I have more faith in it then that

Because video games and movies look similar but completely different form of expression.
Movies are beautifully condensed art in two hours. Video games are over-40-hours journey. It'd be hard to adapt.

Well...8 to 10 hour journeys. RPG's are the only ones that really climb over 30 hours. Generally any genre is going to be 8 to 10 hours.

Verbinski turned a theme park ride into a great series. No way he can mess this up. He spoke at DICE...the guy has a passion for gaming..or a new foudn one anyway. Either way...this will probably be the first good video game movie. Silet Hill is probably the best so far.

I want to see an America Parasite Eve Movie. Japan (I think) did one, and there should be a PE3


@Sora: Have your people call their people and make this happen! PE3!

Also like Stage vs Film and why not many films that are based on stage shows do not go over well. People stick to the story too much. I liked Silent Hill it had any changes, but stayed very true. And with such a low budget they did a good job.

If they make a mega an flick though... I QUIT!

I thought Hitman was great. Best video game adaption IMHO. It tied into the games very well if you actually knew all about the games story and characters. The movie wasn't for everyone though.

Considering Bioshocks art direction and story it should transcend very well into a movie. Not sure about Gore. He fucked us with Pirates2&3.
