This summer brought us two video game "based" flicks and I'm re-playing the Leisure Suit Larry series and I'm wondering which games do you think would make a good movie. I think Leisure Suit Larry has a definmite possibility with someone like the cousin in Mad About You or Kevin Spacey as the star unless they want to go younger.

EDIT: I also think that Half Life might make an interesting movieif it was sort of independent with Tom Savini Gore levels

I would like to see Resident Evil, Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, and Metal Gear Solid. Those all would be great.

Those games were great, would love to see a movie made out of the first one, especially the bar scene.

Doesn't even have to be the first one (though I can see the first one probably being the best movie). They could combine all 6 do a new plot but incorporate scenes/jokes from the first 6. As long as they don't screw up and have him find a "True love" at the end like with "The Ladies Man." He can be married but still be looking.

They could have a High Fidelity-esque way for his potential suitors. Could be a central location like Vegas or NY or have him travel and he has a definitive look (as I said the cousin on Mad About you or Kevin Spacey). The thing about Larry is that the games don't require fighting or jumping so they could translate really well to screen as long as they keep the character straight. Could have an 80s comedy mentality. Not many special effects would keep budget down and it really would make a fun movie.

I think a Mechwarrior movie would rock! I'd also like to see Rainbow 6 (which was actually a book first) and Homeworld

No dought Metal Gear Solid!That game had the best story ever in a video game.I wonde who would play a good Snake though?Masturbator they are making a RE movie.It was going to be directed by George Romero(Night of the living Dead).But he had a dispute with capcom.The next guy who is going to direct is going to rune it. The story Has nothing to do with the game.Something about this super computer that turns scientests into zombies. Romeros script closely followed the games storyline.Man is it going to blow.

Names Ash. Housewares.

I know RE is going to suck. How can you get rid of Romero? He is the man you want to go to for zombies.

That's exactly what I said when I found out about it AM. You have Romero, king of the zombies and they fire him from a zombie movie!!

I also heard they are planning a remake of Dawn of the Dead (arguably the best zombie movie ever).

As for Half Life, I also said that they should make a Half-Life movie and in many ways it really could work as long as they aren't afraid to go all out and make it rated R and not shy way from gore. It has more of a story than Doom and the right director could really make it a very paranoid creepy movie using just Freeman.

Oh, sweet Jesus! If they ruin "Resident Evil", I will track down the director and scriptwriter and inject the T-Virus into them personally!!!!!

There, now that that's out of the way: Perfect Dark!!!! That would be sweet! Oh, wait, they ARE making it into a movie.

Okay, then, Twisted Metal: Black. Sweeeeetttt.

Change my vote: Resident Evil, if, and ONLY IF they make it like the original and forget all of that "government-supercomputer" bullshit. The director should get in a coffin and chug a bucket of AIDS!!!!!!!

What's more disturbing are the movies that WERE made from video games. More often than not they SUCK!

Take, for example, "Mario Brothers." ICK!

The problem with VG movies is that they're not written/directed for the fans, they're written for mass appeal thus isolating the fans of the game and the people who weren't game fans don't care about the movie.

Legend of Zelda, for example, could be an awesome movie. Easy enough plot, effects can be awesome, and it could work. The problem is it will be Mass-ized up leading to shit.

On this topic, who would you like to see play Freeman in a Half-Life movie because that can most definitely work -- especially if they're more willing to use models than CGI. Say what you will models still give it a realer feel. Who doesn't think Jedi Jabba was better than Phantom Jabba?

Alone in the Dark, or definitely Silent Hill....Silent Hill has a lot of possiblities and would make a great Halloween movie...
