Seriously Hollywood, step your game up and stop giving crappy directors the rights to make
crappy movies. Out of this list on Jim Sterling's blog of movies including but not limited to....
Alice, Alone in the Dark II, Area 51, Bloodrayne III, Castlevania, City of Heroes, Driver,
Everquest, Gears of War, Getting Up, God of War, Joust, Kane & Lynch, Max Payne, Metal
Gear Solid, Mortal Kombat Devastation, Onimusha, Postal, Prince of Persia, The Sims, Spy
Hunter, Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li and World of Warcraft....
... are all set for a release by 2010. Really, SOME of these have potential to be good. I've
been waiting for a Metal Gear Solid movie for the longest time (Shadow Moses, no other
Raiden or Col "no homo" Volgin BS). God of War I actually heard is casting Djimon Hounsou
to play Kratos (see Blood Diamond, GREAT movie). Castlevania, Gears of War, Kane &
Lynch, Max Payne, MK, Onimusha (for goodness sake they used actors for the characters
already) and Prince of Persia I already figured were inevitable to why not spend a little
extra for good casting and an above average screen play? These movies have potential,
and personally, I think these do too:
Beyond Good & Evil, Metroid, Assassin's Creed SPOILER (WITH A FREAKING COMPLETE
ENDING!), Call of Duty or Socom: US Navy Seals (war movie, not that hard durr), Bioshock,
GTA: San Andreas (Samuel L. Jackson = Tenpenny) & Legend of Zelda (maybe, not as
strong as my others).
Why not, I know most game to movie adapts suck, but do they have to?
