Ok than 10. How the fuck can you make a movie about the Elder Scrolls?! The problem with that is that where do you even start? And how do you explain the world of Tamriel to the audiance without making the series come off as a Lord of the Rings ripoff? If there is any game that is the least conducive of making a movie out of, this is it. I mean Warcraft has a more linear structure than this.
9. Another big thing to tackle because when people think of a Half-Life movie, they mostly thinking of Half Life 2. Because how do you make a Half Life movie based on Half Life 1? And if you want to adapt Half Life 2 it would be radically different in movie structure and you would have to give Gordon Freeman a voice and charcater to boot. The only way I can see a Half Life movie work is if it was straight up a Hardcore Henry ripoff.
8. Bioshock, Gore Verbinski was gonna tackle this project of making a movie based on the first game and considering the 2nd Pirates movie with Davy Jones he knows how to make nautical themed stuff work. Problem though, you main character in the first game was a mute with no character only things told about him. It'd be a visually stunning movie, but I don't know how they will pull off the story aspects of it.
7. Uncharted is already a movie, Next.
6. I have stated my opinion of Zelda before and it boils down to simplifying to game's structure to a more linear experiance. And you would have to give Link a character.
5. Halo already has a bunch of movies, animated and live action, in other media. IMO the movie should focus purely on Humans vs Covenant. Don't bring in the Forerunners, or the Flood, or the Prometheans, or whatever else the expanded Halo universe have.
4. Metal Gear is already a movie, Next.
3. I stand corrected, a GTA movie is even more impossible than an Elder Scrolls one, the game's themselves are ripoffs of popular crime movie's alrady. When's it gonna take place? Is our protagonist gonna be a Italian American Mafia guy like Tommy Vercetti? Is it gonna be Eastern European Guy/Russian like Niko Bellic? Is it gonna be a African American Gangbanger like Carl CJ Johnson? And year is it gonna be in? The only thing that makes GTA games GTA is the fact you steal Cars, and Reservoir Dogs alraedy did it.
2. F-Zero, eh they made an anime of it already.
1. Metroid is just impossible, the point of the game is isolationism and exploration and most other contact in the games is hostile monsters.
My advice to you Screwattack is be careful what you wish for and think better what kind of Video Games would be worthy as movies.
I mean I stand by that a Mario movie can work. But I recognize the issues of making it work.
