Hey... I was just thinking... as bad as film-adaptations of videogames usually are, which game/game-franchise do you think deserves to be 'honored' with one?
(Apart from the ones already in existence.)
Personally, I would love to see a film based on the "Thief"-series become reality...

I've been hearing nothing but talk about a Mass Effect movie for years and still nothing

Erm. I'm surprised the Command and Conquer games haven't been made into a film but it'd be a daft GI Joe kind of film I reckon if it happened. The best game of that bunch was Red Alert in 1996. I think films based on games are always going to fail more often than not because when most people hear a new film is based on a computer game they roll their eyes and avoid it.

There is a couple Mass Effect movies coming, one of them is a Anime OVA. The live action one has gone through several scripts. The original one had the movie set before the events of the game and focused on the war the humans had when first reaching out into space. When news of that got out fan reaction made them change it and it is now based on the first game.

To be honest, I never played a single C&C-game in my life. The only game by Westwood studious I ever played was Dune 2000, anyone remember that? However, I agree that if a C&C-film would get made, it would indeed be similar to GI Joe...

I geuss if the script were right I'd like to see The Legend of Zelda get made, kinda surprised they haven't given Quake the movie treatment, if they can do Doom why not Quake? And I geuss you could make a shlocky action flick out off Duke Nukem.

My guess is that, so far, they refrained from making a Quake-movie BECAUSE they did Doom, if ya know what I mean... Nuff' said. Good idea with the Zelda-film, though

I could see Red Dead Redemption being turned into a movie. Actually I think that game was already heavily based on The Proposition.

I preferred Red Dead Revolver, Redemption is just sitting there pretty much unplayed.

Mass Effect could be honered with a movie, I'm a little sceptical though about how they're going to pull it off.
Assassin's Creed has also been optioned with Michael Fassbender in the lead. he's a little bit older than Altair but I'm sure he can pull it off really well.
Prince of Persia movie was alrtight I quite enjoyed that more than most video game movies.
Legendary Pictures also has the rights to Gears of War and Warcraft Franchises which could make some decent movies.
and Uncharted has been in the development process for some time. Its basically Indiana Jones and James Bond put int modern times.
