MSNBC’s list of videogames with potential for movie adaptions
Here we go again with videogame movie adaptations. MSNBC has a poll about the top five videogames that should be ported to the silver screen.
Metroid and Prince of Persia took top spots. Various reactions could be gotten from those titles alone. Prince of Persia has been announced to be set for a Summer 2008 release via Jerry Bruckheimer. But Metroid? First questions that come to mind would be: Is it going to be a live action movie or would it be better off as CGI? If it’s a live action movie, who’d play Samus Aran?
We’ve seen countless movie adaptations that simply fell flat both on the box office and in the eyes of the videogame fans. And we’re sure that fellow gamers haven’t forgotten BloodRayne, Doom, Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, and the list just go on and on. There are a number of promising upcoming movie adaptations like Gears of War, Metal Gear Solid, and even a World of Warcraft movie. Let’s hope they don’t disappoint.
What games do you think deserve a movie adaptation?
