<div class="IPBDescription">RB6, AvP, RE2, but HL would be nice</div> In case you havnt heard, there are currently movies in production or lined up. These are Rainbow 6, Alien vs. Predator, and Resident Evil 2. and non game related, The Boondock Saints 2:The Second Comming


Rainbow 6 will probably follow the book (I hope follow the book not the loose fitting game.) Aliens vs Predator has been an idea in the making for years, so it too will probably not follow a game script either.

I cant wait for them.

I always though that with a little work you could make Half Life into a movie. You could follow the three accounts of Gordon, Barney, and Cpl. Adrian Shephard. Kind of like viewing the movie scnes from the three perspsectives. Cut out the 24/7 FPS perspective and give in more story details to make a nice plot.

Ok, if they can make 2 Resident Evil movies Im sure they can make HL into one.


Anyone got any other ideas for game related movies?

I think Starlancer would make a great sci fi movie too. Maybe even do a big time span up into the times if Freelancer too like star wars lol.

    Boondock Saints 2? Oh man my friend wanted to do a sequel to that movie and I said it would be a dumb idea, guess I was wrong.

    PS Boondock Saints owns.

    Aliens versus Predator?! Are you kidding me?!
  • Smoke_NovaSmoke_Nova Join Date: 2002-11-15 Member: 8697Members
    I'd say only Freeman and Shepherd.

    Barney wasn't really a character, more like a generic person.

    Follow Calhoun, is what I think he meant. Everyone seems to think that all of the Barney's are one person. Well Bob has dreams to you know! So stop calling him Barney!

    My wishlist

    Doom = some manly action. Little speak and explanations, lot's of flying alien guts. Horror/Action
    Hitman = guess it would be ok, though I'd like to see Leon2 <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Half-Life = sure, just put boys in the valve do the script
    Max Payne = he was born for movie
    Alien vs. Predator = ffs, change the name and I'm for it, though they will prolly screw it
    Rainbow Six = always a fan of leet military spec ops action
    Duke Nukem = Last job for Arnold. Kick some serious alien arse and save the chicks <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Fallout = thehehee <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Natural Selection = oh yeah baby. 'nuff said

  • X_StickmanX_Stickman Not good enough for a custom title. Join Date: 2003-04-15 Member: 15533Members, Constellation
    Half Life The Film: I'll be honest, i loved the game, but the story line is pi*s weak. Government wants aliens, sabotarges(sp?) experiment, sends in soldiers to clean it up, one of the original workers shows them exactly where they can shove their oversized guns. The only bit i found truely surprising about the plot was the non-happy ending. but please, God, if this movie is made, put it in the hands of someone capable. Not some german director we've never heard of before. Spielburg (ffs, Sp?) or Lucas or something <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    AvP: I've known about this for quite a while. AvP2 had a fairly good storyline, maybe the film could be based on that? (if you think about it, there ISN'T any other way for it to work)

    Freelancer: Interesting, but again, clich?d plot. Do you want another Wing Commander movie? Thought not. lol

    I have the ultimate game to make into a film. Monkey Island. You KNOW it makes sense. That or Leisure Suit Larry <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I think some games would make better TV series.

    I mean would you really want to see games liek SS2 cut into a 2 anf a half hour film when the game takes more than 5 hours if you know what your doing.

    Closest thing out already to this would be the Evil Dead series and Army of Darkness. And on a sidenote to show my <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo--> fortitude, Army of Darkness centers around a book, the Necronomicon. Now not many people know this, but H.P. Lovecraft created the Necronomicon (It is not a real book despite what many think), the same H.P. Lovecraft who writes (or wrote before he croaked) the Cthulhu mythos, and other short stories, and the person in my sig.

    I don't think anyone knew who Peter Jackson was, now he's one of the biggest directors in history.

    Considering "Final Fantasy: The spirits Within" and the "Resident Evil" movie, I'm not too keen on seeing any MORE movies based on games. We've also seen a lot of games based on movies, and when they aren't downright awful, they're usually mediocre. Enter the Matrix anyone?
    I dunno, perhaps movies and games are media that just shouldn't mix either way?

    Willing to bet money they would screw a HL movie up hardcore.
