I found this to be very awesome. Looks like a Soul Caliber movie is on it's way,a long with Halo, Metal Gear Solid, MechWarrior, Prince of Persia and many others. Frankly, I can't wait to see some of these movies.

That list of "Movies with plots centered on video games" fails, for it doesn't contain the kickass movie "Evolver".

A MechWarrior movie would kick ass!

 

[Arthos]

Battletech? Yup. Film material.

 

[SA_Gohan]

Aren't you forgetting about the Sims?

 

[MC]

The Mechwarrior movie has been in development hell for some time now. I just hope that the movie will stay true to the BattleTech universe.

And yet...

No. ****ing. Sonic the Hedgehog movie.

 

[frsrblch]

Thank. ****ing. God.

 

[SS4 Gogeta]

[Grega]

I wana see a LOK movie XD And ofcourse a Soul reaver sequel XD

 

[elNarr]

Oh no....

They're going to make a movie about Diablo too...
Well, luckily it's made by Legendary films, which made 300.

I thought the Halo movie was canceled because of the script and the movie being way too expensive to make/buy.

Bah, the (thin) storyline in Halo is best told in the first person view as you shoot things. A movie would only suck.

 

[KidMan]

well they did have 3 books on halo, so they might use that.

It worked for me.

Anyways... i dunno. A Halo movie would be pretty sweet in my opinion.

4 books actually.

I would love to see a halo movie. I do hope they use the stuff in the books, especially showing the stuff on how the SPARTANS were made.

I'm not a huge fan of the Halo universe (most of the story elements are more than a little cliche) however a friend dumped "The fall of Reach" on me quite some time ago, apart from the fact the introduction chapter was one of the poorest pieces of writing I've seen published in quite some time (I actually put the book down for two weeks after reading the first chapter), the novel really started to pick up when it was giving background on the sort of training the spartans were put through, it really added some depth to the otherwise painfully dull Master Chief.

If the movie is going to be successful they're going to need to concentrate a little more on the books, there just isn't enough depth in the storylines of the games at this point.
