And the person behind it is spending a part of 200 million dollars(split with 4 other movies) to make it. What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gears of War, Prince of Persia, Metal Gear Solid, God of War, HALO, and even The Sims...have been talked about.

I could understand some of the action games like Gears of War, but the Sims? How do you make a movie out of that? Does the main character find a code to get unlimited money and build the ultimate house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read, they wanted it to be about a real person, in the Sims universe, kinda like Pleasentville. Made as a comedy obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 QUOTE (TheBlackSox8 @ Dec 16, 2008 -> 01:29 AM) The new fad soon to come(has already started actually, but not well) is the video game to movie. I think it's going to get better, maybe bigger than it has. In the same sense as past comic book movies, there had been a need to treat the films as a live-action video game; where you're supposed to be mindlessly entertained more than appreciate the actual storyline. I honestly believe, of all the movies based on video games I can recall at this moment, that Silent Hill is the best. I've always thought the atmosphere within the game is it's best quality, and that's what the film captured. It was honestly disturbing, as well. I'm happy to know they're making a sequel. Although, to be fair, the game itself is adventure based and has a lot more material to work off of than, say, Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat.

BigSqwert Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Kojima talks up Metal Gear Solid film By Frank Caron | Published: December 16, 2008 - 10:20AM CT Metal Gear Solid 4 may have been the alleged end of the Solid Snake story-line, but there is no question that Konami's meal-ticket franchise will live on. While it's unclear exactly what will happen with the rumored Metal Gear Solid 5 project, talk of a MGS movie has become more prominent since the release of MGS4. Series creator Hideo Kojima gave the rumblings more credibility this weekend as he confirmed that the film is "brewing." Kojima spoke with Collider.com at the Spike VGAs on Sunday about the film. "It's brewing, brewing, and very slowly moving," said Kojima. "I won't have the director seat, but I will plan to be very, very involved with the projects." As for whether a game would coincide with the movie, Kojima said he was "very interested" in doing such a thing even if it was a "challenge." Given how many video game film adaptations are coming and going these days, a Metal Gear Solid movie seems almost inevitable given Kojima's flair for cinematics (at the cost of game play, some would argue). Few games have enough substance to do well on the silver screen, but MGS seems like the one series that could make the transition admirably.

Oh Im sorry, I didnt realize Hellboy was a Literature classic Some of the comic book movies are reboots/remakes, but a lot of the newer comic book movies havent had any screen treatment, and I look forward to those movies. Then again, I dont really kill movies like a lot of you guys do, so take it with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I've enjoyed a number of comic book film adaptations - the genre seems to translate pretty well. Video game to movie, on the other hand... has anything been made in that genre that hasn't been laughable garbage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Just saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Not what I expected, but it was pretty funny. Definitely not Superbad, or Role Models, or Knocked Up. I thought Step Brothers was funnier as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need to switch user names with this poster. I can't wait for your top 10,5, uh 3 movies of the year, if you thought there was even that many.

But it likely will in time I was pretty positive he never wanted to bring Robin into the big picture though, as he hates the character. Also this... Nolan had been tight-lipped about the future of the Batman films after being rocked by the January death of HEATH LEDGER — tipped to receive a posthumous Oscar for his role as The Joker in Batman Returns.
