- kiwikultist, on 10/10/2007, -3/+71Seriously, The Sims?! Why would anyone make a movie about a game that is just meant to mimic real life?
- Lux7, on 10/10/2007, -1/+36Makers of American Pie making Metroid...
I don't see how that's going to work.
"NUDE SAMUS SCENE" - bwayne1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23And by "Top Upcoming Movies Based on Video Games," do you mean, "Video games that are being made into movies. Some of them will be bad. Some of them will be *very* bad"? If so... then, good list.
- LRFalk01, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23If by sick you mean retarded. I totally agree.

- bwayne1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15This is merely a list of video games being made into movies. What exactly makes these the TOP movies?
- chris9902, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Max Payne would've been amazing if Sin City never came out.
- NeoCortex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Being the only ones kind of helps.
- unknownsoldierX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Four people in a tiny house. Always late for work, living in filth, constantly peeing their pants and crying, and arguing with each other non-stop.
- jggr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14I just can't get my head around a script that would work. I mean, wouldn't it just be a movie about people living in a neighbourhood? Like Melrose Place or something? How can they gear the script to be the Sims? I just don't get it.
But then I'm not a soulless hollywood hack scraping ***** across a page to make a buck, so what do I know? - completerobot, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Successful? Or widely-panned and awful?
- Konstantino, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Yup, there's a 90% chance that there will be a "Max Payne: The Movie: The Game" game.
- Meep3D, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9I've always thought Event Horizon was 'Doom the Movie'. It certainly captured the essence imo.
- DocDEB, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9The Sims Movie? Let me see if I can get my head around this one. A movie about a simulation of life. So... art imitating art imitating life. There has to be a double negative in there somewhere.
- hartley, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8To me, he will always be Gomez.
- Phoenixfury, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6This one time, at Chozobo camp.....
- CamoChris, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6The game wasn't that bad? They were great, very few games give the player the freedom to complete their objectives the way they want to, rather than the way the developer choses, like the Hitman series.
- manzk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Gears of War?
- Wazzog, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5i believe we already have tv shows that mimic the sims. I beieve it goes along the line of a bunch of people living in a house and doing crap. This show of course is big brother. Just let them leave the house, dont break it up over week, and huzzah we got a movie
- DenTPuzz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Pac-Man??? I can hear the dialog now... "wakawakawakawakawaka".. Although that would probably be an improvement on some movie adaptions I've seen..
- lowryba, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I think RE:E and Halo will be the only movies I will even think about seeing.
- fluidfoundation, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6You must be a Sims fan.
- tossayo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6pokeman?
- GQCarrick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Here is a link to the Hitman Trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/hitman/
- fantasticFlan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4A man spends all his free time improving himself until he's so lonely he can't get out of bed. His wife constantly runs around in her underwear and has seduced every other woman in the neighborhood. I smell an Oscar.
- Phoenixfury, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Oh yes! There is a 99% chance the game will suck just because it's a game based on the movie based on the original game. LOL
- spudnic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I'm amazed they could make something as cool as the Hitman series look naff. They also gave away the whole supprise ending...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Oh yeah, there's an exciting movie. A bunch of people randomly introducing themselves as though you're supposed to know them, and the only thing the lead character can say is "brrrpt."
- ryllharu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I can't see how they could *possibly* make a good Metroid movie. The overwhelming majority of the games have zero dialogue because Samus is in her powersuit, killing things with no one else around to talk to.
The choice of producers only makes me cringe further. Final Destination 1 and 2 weren't bad, but I just don't see any good coming out of this. - npsken, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3What about Splinter Cell?
http://imdb.com/title/tt0439829/
There was also a teaser for it in Chaos Theory. - whelzorn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Silent Hill 2? I thought the first one was decent.
- psbpv3o, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3And he has the face of a 14 year old boy...
- ArchonSG, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Halo is slated for late 2009. Maybe.
Its still a huge question of whether S. Jackson and Blomkamp can pull it off and make a movie that won't suck like most other game to screen adaptations. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3they should make a movie from those star wars games.
- psbpv3o, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Silent hill was oddly good. Just the look of it makes it worth seeing. As well as pyramid head ripping a girl's skin off
- Ramble, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Max Payne could make a good film, they have a great storyline and sometimes quite a bit of dialogue.
- moocow1452, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Pokemon.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I wish an earthquake would hit Hollywood. a big one.
Have an original thought Hollywood creative geniuses! stop remaking, sequeling, adapting, stealing, and americanising. - OmniShinzui, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Well, there was a movie for Animal Crossing in Japan last year... (Though the game itself is about a life to get away from life with cute little creatures).
- Pake, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Considering how vast the Warcraft storyline is and how the one and only Chris Metzen is writing the movie's storyline, I would argue otherwise. WoW will be a great movie and not because it is based off of a game, but in it's own right.
- 0260, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2i think valve said that the only way a movie would be done if they had a part in making it
- 0260, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2i always thought mech warrior would make a pretty bad ass movie. warcraft too
- psmonteiro, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Why the ***** is this list from a website called gunslot.com?
- binarymelon, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3So by Top 10 they meant every single one they could think of?
- psbpv3o, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3no, probably just a gamer.
- jhuebel, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Sin City wasn't as awesome as people wanted to believe. So Max Payne probably has about a 50-50 shot at being better.
- CompIsMyRx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Yes. Stuart Jackson, Peter Jackson's retarded cousin.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5I blame apple. The screenwriters think they have automatically become creative and cool because they bough a macbook.
- theeris, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2In fact, the double negative has led to proof positive.
