A lot of people seem strongly opposed to the idea, but what do you think?
If you think its a bad idea, what could be done to make them better?
What games should be made into a movie?
What games shouldn't be made into a movie?
Which director should take up a project like this, and which director shouldn't?
Personally, I don't think its a bad idea. It just hasn't been done right yet. Choosing the right director/writer is HUGELY important though. It shouldn't just be the exact same story line as the game. Because what would you rather do, watch a story unfold, or actually be part of the story and be submerged into the world? But the movie should also be canon on the games story. There is a LOT of stuff that needs to be taken into account to make a video game movie right, but I feel like it can be done.
I think a Legend of Zelda movie would be pretty cool. Im not the most hardcore fan of LoL, but I do enjoy it. For some reason, I can just see that story being portrayed into a movie. Plus, with all the timeline and different dimension junk they have going on, it would give them a little bit of freedom with the story and what not.
One game that should never, ever be made into a movie, is Bioshock. It's such a linear story, and can be only enjoyed so much by playing through it. It just seems like if it was a movie, it wouldn't feel as freaking awesome all the time. Don't get me wrong, a movie that takes place in Rapture would be pretty cool. But once again, it would have to be done just right. Also I just really, really, really dont want to see The Elder Scrolls universe in movie form. Just, no.
Joss Whedon, Peter Jackson, Guillermo Del Toro, and Steven Speilberg seem like some well qualified guys to do a video game movie. Mainly because most of them have talked about having interest doing one. And M. Knight Shyamalan should never even think of trying anything videogame/t.v. show related. We've all already seen what happened with The Last Airbender. (Unless he casts Nicolas Cage. Then he can do what he wants.)
