Of all videogames to never get a movie treatment...

[andsuchisdeath]

They did do an Earnest Evans movie.

It was called Indiana Jones

I suppose they already did an Eswat movie called Robocop too right? Sheesh.

Interestingly enough, he moved like a marionette in kingdom of the crystal skull. Man that movie sucked.

I've never seen it, but I'm sure that was no coincidence.

Believe it or not but both Spy Hunter and Joust were to have movies. I think both of them fell apart when Midway did so they never came out. I heard they were going to do Joust like a b-movie but keep it serious.

Wasn't Dwayne Johnson linked with the Spy Hunter movie?

Yep. They had the video game made before the movie, Rock even did mo-cap and voiced the character in the game as well.

Now where's that metroid movie

At your local video store. It goes by the name Alien.

 

[Zenimus]

I wouldn't want to see a movie made of any game that already lends itself to a cinematic presentation. So no Uncharted, no The Last of Us, etc. Give us movies where anything can happen. Movies where anything can happen and that aren't restricted by the grounded storytelling of their sources.

That happened already. Although personally I'm one of the seeming few that actually loved it. It was creative and fun. People who moan that it has nothing to do with the games should really examine how little the game gave filmmakers to work with.

Definitely doesn't get enough respect.

Duck Hunt - The Movie.

Never saw that one coming, eh?

 

[ki_atsushi]

Double Dragon the movie: the game: the movie.

 

[Pink Spider]

Someone's bound to say it, might as well be me.

 

[Normdog]

This is a fucking great idea. Fantasy is huge right now, and if made properly, this would be a huge hit.

I wonder what that Joust movie (that MJ mentioned) would've been like if it had been made.

I'd like to see a Ninja Gaiden movie get made, myself. Or a Strider movie. Something with ninjas and crazy action.

I'd definitely watch those movies.

 

[Tron]

I know heh that's another was suppose to be then it failed through.

 

[OrochiEddie]

.

I just don't get the idea of making a movie based on a game that is already ripping off a movie....I guess you can also make a video game version of that movie too. It'd be level 5 meta.

The player controls Keith Courage. Struck by a giant meteor, the world, in the game, has been invaded by creatures from another planet. Burrowing deep within the Earth's surface, the planet of B.A.D. (Beastly Alien Dudes) seeks to take over the world. As a member of N.I.C.E. (Nations of International Citizens for Earth), Keith's mission is to defeat B.A.D. and bring peace to the world. Armed with a sword, Keith must first defeat the outpost guards. Then, enter the Underworld. Here Keith activates the awesome Nova Suit. A secret force left to him by his fallen father, he is half man, half mechanical monster. Nearly invincible, his sword cracks with the power of lightning, as you wreak havoc on the fearsome Dudes. His goal is to reach the Robo Zone (the seventh Alpha Zone), headquarters of B.A.D. Succeed here and the player will win the game, recapturing the Earth and restoring humanity's place in the universe. Four friends offer Keith advice, swords, bombs, and extra lives. The player's goal is to collect the stolen riches left behind by the invaders and buy your way out of trouble with money.

I'm right there with you. I thought the movie was brilliant, and I wish the sequel got made. Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA) in movie form in the same vein as the first movie would have blown minds left and right.

 

[Jeneki]

That (Keith Courage) did have a anime

An anime is not the same thing as Hollywood made movie that's closer to the whacked-out NA version. Just think of the possibilities!

 

[norton9478]

If Keith Courage gets a movie, then so doesn't Monster Party.

Make it a b-flick and call it day

Harvest Moon

But seriously, my vote goes to BLACKTHORNE. I think that could make for a SICK movie adaptation.
And Shadowrun

 

[AppleiDog]

Still waiting for a Final Fight movie. With this "grindhouse" stuff being so popular, it could get a green light.... shit just throw in a bunch of College on the soundtrack and you got a certain cult classic.

If it was done in the same style as Drive and Cody could be played very well by Ryan Gosling.

I've never seen it, but I'm sure that was no coincidence.

Well, because of his bloody life, it couldn't have been one, what with him getting involved in so many of the troubles.

The "frozen" smiling expression on Keith's face at the end of that opening is truly unsettling.
