Legend of Zelda's already being made, and rest assured, it's gonna suck just like (just about all of) the rest of them. How can they POSSIBLY fit all that story into a 2-3 hour film?
Maybe it isnﾃつｴt possible for them to fit the whole story into a 2-3 hour film but maybe if they make a trilogy.
Yes but you gotta remember that LoZ is a BIG game with LOTS of story to it. The best they could do with a Zelda movie is tell only the general parts of the story of the first game in an entire movie trilogy, each installment only telling parts of it and thus, leaving out quite a bit of the interesting plotlines/character plotlines in the game. And thus it's a GAME-based movie, meaning it would suck even if they managed to fit the entire story into it (which is TOTALLY impossible to do in just 2-3 hours timing). It may be a fun game to play, but I don't think those big boss battles would translate into good action scenes when put on-screen. |

A Killer Instinct movie's coming out soon, I hear, though I never played the game.
Has anyone heard anything of the Metroid movie? John Woo was going to direct it or something, I think, but that's old news. I'd see it on opening night if it was ever released. |

I heard rumours about a Zelda movie many years ago but I read or was told that it was only a rumour. I donﾃつｴt remember. I hope that this is real, though.
The Final Fantasy movie was pretty confusing for me in the beginning and it sure as hell isnﾃつｴt one of the best movies Iﾃつｴve seen.

Nuh-uh. Silent Hill, dammit!
NOTE: I didn't count Silent Hill because that hasn't been done yet. 
I also didn't count FF:tSP because it just wasn't Final Fantasy at all except for the name. It's not really a game-based movie if you think about it. |

Where'd you get that info? Of the confirmed producers, none of them have worked on any of the Final Destination movies, according to IMDb.
Okay, so I guess I could be wrong on that, but if I remember correctly, I might have read something on the net a long time ago along the lines of some of the people who did Final Destination 1 and 2 (might be director, producers, screenwriters, etc) being involved with the Metroid movie. And hell, I know it's bound to suck and everything, just like every other game-based movie, but they should have C2 productions produce it (same productions company that brought us T3:RotM). That would problably be the best thing it would ever have going for it.

The thing about Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is I didn't really care that it didn't resemble the games. The story was kind of crap, but I didn't care about that either. It's such a fun movie to watch. The visuals are fantastic.
And yes, a Silent Hill movie, directed by the same dude who directed Brotherhood of the Wolf. That fact alone gives me a huge boner. |

They're making a Silent Hill movie?!
Ive been hopeing for that since I played the first one.
Holy shit, if they make it half as scary/freaky as the games i'll be happy.
By the way, FF sucked it seemed like it had absolutely nothing to do with Final Fantasy itself. |

A LoZ story? Easy
Hey, elf boy. Go fight! Okay! Ganondorf might be bad...GO FIGHT! Okay! You're a man now! Huzzah, balls! Go fight! Okay! Ganondorf turned into Ganon, shit! Go fight, now! Yay, a rainbow bridge and a golden triangle! The end! |

I'd like to see more animated features done. And not this shitty digital BS that is going around. REAL cel by cel animation done on the old analogue systems so that it will have that amazing feel that Disney movies from the 80s and earlier have. |

I've been wanting to see Super Mario Bros. and Street Fighter lately. Haven't seen those movies in ages. They were pretty atrocious, but fun in a way, in a really crappy way. I'm sure I'd enjoy watching them a lot. Mmmm... Kylie Minogue as Cammy. |

You forgot "God of War" in that list of games turned movies.
And microsoft wants a shit load for the Halo movie to be green light.
I won't go into a rant, but I will say this; video game turned movies kick ass when you're a kid. Cause you don't really care about the acting, as long as there is action.
Movies like Street Fighter, Double Dragon, Mario Bros., I saw when I was a kid, and I liked 'em. I watched Street Fighter a few months ago and I laughed my ass off. Good times though, good times. |

Yeah, Mortal Kombat wasn't only a decent film, but it made a TON of money and would have to be on any "Top 5 game-based movies" list. Tomb Raider did really well at the box office but the second one didn't do well at all if I recall.
Final Fantasy was a HUGE money pit for Square at the time, and they really could have put together a better story. Not that it was a *bad* movie or anything... it just wasn't what fans expected and that dragged it down. |

I hope so, too... but I doubt it will. Cast and acting isn't everything, you must understand. Cast and acting can only do so much for a film, and judging from the previews, I don't think it has much else to show for it besides that, so yeah, expect another Uwe Boll flopfest. |

Silent Hill is going to be the greatest game-based movie ever, and it's going to kick lots of ass...so I hope. It sounds promising... Christophe freaking Gans, he can't let me down. |
