Honestly. 47 is the straightest of straight men - you absolutely must have him remain emotionless, determined, and focused while all manner of bizarre lethal mayhem explodes around him. One druglord buried in concrete, another devoured by his pet hippo - both instigated by a grim "shaman" wearing a ridiculous, obscene headdress. And absolutely yes on the dialogue: deadpan puns and double entendres: "That sounds dangerous - should I be worried?" "I'm not." Also, the Homing Briefcase needs to be treated like a silent sidekick.

He follows the target around, with a quick flash to each possible assassination he won't perform while Diana talks informing 47 on all the 'relevant' dirt on the target so the audience loses all sympathy for him (or her. A couple?). After each flash 47 says why he won't do that assassination. 47 makes a few minor detours to pick up the keys to a possible get away. Have him pick up 3 of them to keep the audience guessing. Have 47 kick down some access ladders and open some sealed doors like he would do in the game. Then he gets this uncharacteristic huge smile on his face in a room and says "Yes, this will do." Cut to 47 entering the ever present security office where he quickly neutralizes the guards, destroys the camera memory and sabotages the security system without alerting the guards. Then the "fun" begins with a truly outrageous assassination that results in an "accidental death" as 47 reaches his chosen method of egress.

Can't wait for _The Schloss Tepes Symphonic Preservation Society._ Starring Owen Wilson as Trevor Belmont; Luke Wilson as Alucard; Elliot "Ellen" Page as Syphon "Sypha" Belnades; Steve Martin as Hector; and of course Bill Murray as Dracula. You'll thrill as Trevor and Syphon (formerly Sypha, before the surgery) hash out their messy divorce over the course of the movie, as the raging, hormone-addled Syphon sics -her- their bloodsucking lawyer, Renon (Kristofer Hivju) on the hapless Trevor, who must repeatedly fight off the bloodthirsty barrister's repeated attempts to serve him with divorce papers. Fortunately, the timid Trevor doesn't have to do the actual fighting; Renon is usually driven off by _Trevor's_ divorce lawyer (slash tax accountant), the mysterious Zobek (Wesley Snipes). All this really distracts poor Trevor from his current job: remodeling Dracula's castle into the luxurious Hotel Ravenloft - to its fussy owner's exacting, ever-changing specifications. (Bill "Dracula" Murray: "And then there's the big central keep, right here... I'm thinking roller coaster, like the Stratosphere in Vegas. No? Too much? Help me out here, Trev. May I call you 'Trev'? No? How about 'T.B.'? " 'Trev-O'?") (Rated PG-13 for shady financial dealings and a brief, completely gratuitous shot of Syphon's mastectomy scars. Oscar noms all around!)

The problem with games is their whole art is being interactive, which makes them really tough to cram into a linear format. If you have a strong setting like TLoU it can work (I always figured a Mass Effect series during Shephard's absence would be great), but Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, and even Castlevania were all pastiches of zombie films, kung-fu films, and monster films respectively. It turns into a copy of a copy, so you're left with something that's too game-like and not interesting without the interactivity, or bears so little relation to the material why bother?

@TheRealCodeBlack

I dunno. Most of video games have strong central narratives that are fairly easy to adapt to screen. The issue isn't that the adaptability isn't there, but that for a very long time just like with animation and comic adaptations, Hollywood has had a long history of not taking those narratives seriously and trying to warp the IP into something more marketable, inevitably leaving a mess behind. This is starting to change in a big way, and I'm glad for it, but it's still there from time to time and still causes problems. At least we're long past the days of Uwe Boll, though. (shudder).

Splinter Cell had a movie that danced around production and even had the confidence to include a teaser in the main menu of Chaos Theory that claimed you wouldn't know the whole story of the games until you see the movie. Also yeah I had high hopes for Halo when I heard Weta and Peter Jackson were involved. All the sadder considering how tragic the new Paramount series turned out, as if they wanted Last of Us to blow it out of the water.

FF9's project was supposed to be shown off at an event months ago, and just...never showed up and there was no comment as to why it was absent despite them confirming it's presence just a few days prior to the event. My guess is that it'll never see the light of day.

Let me explain to you my obviously young friend. Before games and movies were these things called "Books" and EVERY idea ever made into a movie is based on some book. The film "Van Helsing" is based on "Bram Stoker's Dracula". A good read.

@@phyllissmith9426 first of all drop the condescending tone, I'm in my late 20's and I'm well aware of and have read "dracula" multiple times But from what I've been able to find out "Van Helsing" was originally intended to be a Castlevania movie but the studio that made it lost the film rights to Castlevania during early production so they repurposed the script into what we eventually got

A sims movie ? We already have a bunch of those : every comedy/drama/romance set in a contemporary setting, except usually with less kitchen fires and drownings in the pool

Anyone think _The Lord Of The Rings Online_ could be turned into a really good movie, or series of movies? The whole _Moria_ section would deserve at least a few hours just to itself, and one each for the Grey Company, Mirkwood and In Their Absence quest arcs.

Honestly The Sims movie would've been interesting if they just focused on the actual families in the game. I wanna see the Goths and the Landgraabs XD

On the Sims, their mistake was making the story very video-gamey. What they should have done was make the story about the disappearance of Bella Goth. Lots of room for creativity. But then I remember Hollywood writing is very hit or miss.

What about the as of yet unreleased 'Just Cause' movie? While not officially cancelled, the news we have on it shows it's changed writers every year since first announced and the only reported cast member was Jason Momoa as Rico. Probably safe to say the movie will never see the light of day, and if by some miracle it does, it'll probably be a massive flop.

As a fan of the 90's Mortal Kombat movie, I want to hear Luke's thoughts on the 90's Mario Brothers. Dennis Hopper as King Koopa was a very bold choice. 😂😂😂😂

I feel like video games translate better as TV shows... You can't cram 40+ hours of story and character building into 90mins.

You know, PG-13 rating aside, showing a Little Sister being brutally slain would work if the protagonist witnessed it, and seeing the child die could motivate said protag to save the rest from the horrors of Rapture. It's also weird that the Sims had an even more gonzo plot than that canceled movie. It involved alien women disguised as humans using time travel to get rid of a romantic rival by throwing her into the past, but that woman getting back by writing a mystery novel that pretty much told them these future alien women did it that got way popular. And since it was the same town but time displaced, it generated a lot of detective and mystery enthusiasts in that town right about the time she went 'missing' that got everyone looking into her high profile disappearance, pretty much assuring that those sisters will be found out for her 'murder,' even if they don't figure out the aliens and time travel. Yes I'm serious. Go check Game Theory if you don't believe me.

I know studio meddling is usually exceedingly annoying, but looking at the Halo TV show, it can be useful sometimes. The show is awful for many, _many_ reasons, but, as others have pointed out, it would not be nearly as bad if it matched with Halo lore, and, most importantly, didn't have Master Chief as the protagonist. He has his story! There are other spartans! They are also cool! (The worst choice they made was having Chief remove his helmet in the first episode. I know it sounds nitpicky, but this is _the_ character known for never taking off the helmet. Like, come on)

True. Why couldn't they have hired a more competent set of writers for a setup with such massive untapped potential? The games were enjoyable for what they were (especially if you’re a dragon enthusiast), but the budget that was promised for that poorly written movie script would have been better off being poured into the games given the scope.

Oh WOW, 10:02 I totally remember the first time i saw this little "Halo movie teaser" clip, at the time it looked way more real granted we didn't have HD everything like we do now and it feels like it was So Many years ago when it popped up online. 😄👍

The continuous slander of Mortal Kombat 1995 cannot go unanswered. That movie rules. But you are correct about 90's Mario, so.

I honestly liked the ac movie and thought the modern bits were better there than in the games. Not that I enjoyed the modern bits in the games, but at least in the movie he does more than just wander around slowly before getting back in the animus. And I think the films animus is more realistic than the game, because of the robot arms; I mean the games expect you to believe the bleed effect from basically lying in a bed with a VR integration.

@ButMadNNW626

Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I liked the AC film too and feel the same about the arms vs. bed. And as a film operating as an introduction to the AC world for filmgoers who might not have played any of the games, spending a decent amount of "establishing time" in the modern world makes sense. They also didn't want to use Ezio or any existing assassin character so as not to disappoint people's expectations of how that character should be. I was a _huge_ Fassbender fan at the time (still like him now, just more toned down in my level of interest), so was following the production closely. For me, the *most* disappointing thing about the whole situation was how Fassbender was _so engaged and excited_ heading up to the film (it was even his production company behind the project), then how he started distancing from it after reviews came out and so on. You can still be proud of and love your work even if some don't like it, Fassy, c'mon!!
