Right I'm back from my holiday now and I figured I'd get right into it with a thread that I thought of on the holiday. See I had been thinking a lot about video game based movies at the time and yes I think it is safe to say that they suck. But my question is more of a 'let's be creative' kind of scenario. Take your favourite game, or at least the one with the story that most appeals to you... now I want you to imagine a film adaptation that completely messed it up. How bad would it be, I'll give my example which is (amazingly) Halo (again), here is my interpretation of how crappy they could make Halo as a movie:
1. Have washed up Christian Slater play Masterchief
2. Have Tira Reed play Cortana and make her an obvious sex symbol
3. Remove all the good music from the game and replace it with crappy heavy metal
4. Turn the covenant from a religious hedemony of alien races beleiving they are on a divine quest instead into a bunch of salivating monsters that behave like alien from the film series of the same name, also make their CGI animation on the same level as a kids TV show.
5. Have the Arbiter be a guy wearing makeup or a costume left over from Doctor Who.
6. Replace the story about religous power struggle and human determination all based around the giant rings and instead make a story about these aliens infesting a remote colony on Mars.
7. Include the 'comedy' of the guys who made the Movie franchise.
That's my idea of how bad they could screw it up anyway.
So how about you? What is your favourite game and how badly can they screw it up if they made a movie of it? How loathsomely horrible could it look, who would direct it and who would star in it?
P.S It's good to be back at long last.
