LOPcagney Posted April 13, 2009 It works because it understands it's relationship to the medium and tries to adopt the visceral, personal feel of the game as opposed to taking a straight-on, refined approach to action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted April 13, 2009 and now stretch that small movie to become feature length, does it still work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted April 13, 2009 Yeah, everything would be really slow and choppy. It would likely suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted April 13, 2009 Anyone else got any games they've thought could be adapted well? If you HAD to adapt any game into the best movie possible, which would you adapt? And it can't be a CG animated film - too easy! What if you were forced to reboot the Mario Bros film franchise? Should this be a new thread..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LOPcagney Posted April 13, 2009 My friend and I discussed remaking Pokemon as a serious actioner Transformers style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karimi Posted April 30, 2009 NO, no , no , no. Shadow of the Colossus is beautiful as a work of art created in the language of gaming, adapting it into a movie will either strip it of its beauty or its authenticity. Pick one. Why mix media ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted May 1, 2009 BUT SURELY THERE MUST BE SOME GAMES YOU'D LIKE TO SEE TURNED INTO FILMS, KARIMI, IF YOU HAD TO ADAPT ANY GAME INTO THE BEST MOVIE POSSIBLE WHICH WOULD YOU ADAPT AND HOW? And it can't be a CG animated film. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted May 1, 2009 I would make Manhunt into a pure snuff porn movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben X Posted May 2, 2009 None. Damn. Full Throttle. Though I'd love it if they did it as cel animation. Yeah, directed by Mike Mignola! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OssK Posted May 2, 2009 Both GTA and TLaD could be turned into movies... Beneath a steel Sky in my opinion or many of the Lucas Art games could make decent movies, in the purest beginning of the 90s comedy style I wouldn't say Day of the Tentacle has to be shitty if written correctly... I'd say you could make a movie out of Prince of Persia the game the movie the game too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OssK Posted May 2, 2009 oh and ANY INDIANA JONES GAME would have been a better script than the shit the gave as the 4th... Fuck that movie was horrid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OssK Posted May 3, 2009 Lynch or Godard for the GTA movie ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted May 3, 2009 Lynch or Godard for the GTA movie ? Neither one of them would make a true movie version of GTA, that said, their versions would probably be hella awesome, and more watchable than a "true" GTA movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted May 4, 2009 The first Crank film felt very much like a GTA movie to me - running round a city in various vehicles, most of them nicked; topping up his 'health' periodically; silly storyline; the whole aesthetic, map-zooms, etc; and the rubbish rent-an-ethnic-gangsta baddies...

brkl Posted May 7, 2009 I think you're right, Ossk, Beneath a Steel Sky would make a nice movie. The story is very linear and basically uses cinema-like methods already. You have the sci-fi elements, buddy movie elements, a very contained story. Wouldn't be difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

melmer Posted January 8, 2013 yeah, i've just read this today on polygon The screenwriter for the action film Hanna, Seth Lochhead, will work on Sony's film adaptation of the PlayStation 2 game Shadow of the Colossus, according to Hollywood Reporter. Canadian-born Lochhead will be working on the film with director Josh Trank, who directed Chronicle and the TV series The Kill Point, while Kevin Misher (The Scorpion King, The Interpreter) is assuming the role of producer. Sony announced that it would adapt Shadow of the Colossus into a film in 2009 with Trank signing on to direct in May 2012. No cast or release date has been announced. It might end up being half decent. Hanna was good! Chronicle was good! And the Scorpion king was fucking BOSS Whats the chances this film will all be in a made up language with subs, i'd love that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sno Posted January 8, 2013 This is still a horrible idea, but i don't hate the people they've hired to work on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
