All I know is they better cast Michael Ironside as General Duke. Starship Troopers FTW.

FF8 - then maybe you ice blooded fuckers could appreciate the good story without pissing about the graphics.

Hasn't even started filming, and I'm pretty sure Woo is no longer attached to direct. IMDB status hasn't been updated in two years...

In addition to the classics like Deus Ex, System Shock 2, Thief, PST, etc. I would like to see movies of Max Payne and the sequel, plus Alan Wake if the game lives up to the hype Remedy have been creating.

Well I actually haven't considered putting faces on SC as I've done on countless of books for an example (just finished Feast for Crows).

Beckinsale as Kerrigan would be pretty cool and it's also a character that you cannot get without. Tbh, they don't need major celebrities for this. It all depends on how you wanna shot the movie with a few stars (heroes) and so on, or following cores/groups instead. Although I hate to see Kerrigan playing an evil role.. well we all know how Kerrigan turns out.

Brad Pitt as Jim Raynor! Err, joke aside. Wasn't there a red-head ghost female hero once? Scarlet Johannson (sp) k thx. Been a while since I actually played SC campaign. I need to do it again soon, but DotA's so addictive.

50% of the movie is everyone "drawing" magic from monsters, 30% is the main characters playing some shitty card game, 10% is Squall just staring blankly at the audience. The final 10% is split between some love story noone cares about, and outer space.

Anyways:
Devil May Cry. I don't know who to cast, but this could own.
Earthworm Jim
Battletoads
God of War. I usually think of Vin Diesel as worthless, but I think he could play the lead role well. Just be Riddick from Pitch Black but with body paint.

Various other ones people mentioned sound fun too.

Fuck yes on Eearthworm Jim. That was so much fun when I was a kid.

That level sucked so much fucking ass.

Not the toads but another Turtle movie?

Halo and Halo2 are practically ready-made for a good contemporary sci-fi flick. It's got an outstanding arc with an easy-to-cast main character and a rich, haunting backstory. It feels and plays like a Larry Niven novel (as intended) and would translate very well to a film or a mini-series without being too kitschy and niche like the japanese console properties tend to.

An animated EverQuest movie would kick ass. It would have to be animated though. Live action would look cheesy.

Fires of Heaven: Rise of the Rickshaw

That level was awesome. I played that game so much as a kid I could nearly beat that shit with my eyes closed. Plus there was a level warp partway through it if you sucked at it. You could just skip it all that way.

We played it recently just to get to that level and it was still fun as hell. We didn't beat it but we came pretty close. (That level sucks with 2 people, one fuck up = both start over)
