General Video Game Movie Discussion

Metal Gear would be great! 😄 Michael Biehn would be THE Solid Snake! Who could play Hal Emmerich (AKA Otacon)? How about Kevin J. O'Connor? He often plays quirky sidekick characters like Otacon (example: Joey from 'Deep Rising'😉.

But how would they handle Solid Snake AND Liquid Snake? There's only one Michael Biehn. They'll find a way. It doesn't matter. All that matters is that Michael Biehn plays Snake.

Here's some more ideas:

Psycho Mantis: Kevin Spacey
Vulcan Raven: Dolf Lundgren

Any other ideas?

Michael Biehn was awesome in "The Terminator" and "Aliens"

He sure was! He's one of my favorite actors, right up there with Bruce Campbell, Jack Black, and Ahmed Best.

What else has Ahmed Best been in?

He formerly performed in a play called 'Stomp' (which I've only read a few things about). He's also done commercials (no big accomplishment there, considering that commercials are evil). And he's also written lyrics and he sings too and plays I don't know which instruments.

But Jar Jar is a major accompishment if you ask me. It takes a special kind of person to bring to life such an utterly unique (yet classical in the archetypical sense) character like Jar Jar. 😄

🙁 🙁 🙁 whatever.

You don't like Jar Jar much, do you ToMacco? 🙁

I don't dislike him. I just don't know why everyone talks about him all the time.

Ahmed Best is a major league looser🙄

yup

Yeah, but so am I...

...LOSERS UNITE!!

I talk about Jar Jar all the time because I'm a Jar Jar fan. I also talk about Ash all the time because I'm an Ash fan - same as with Mad Max, Travis Bickle, and several others.

Max Payne would make a good film, but it's already being made into one.

silent hill
metal gear solid
an actual final fanatasy
postal
uuuummmm and maybe iam not sure how but counter strike would be good
oh yeah and resident evil which is coming out in april but did you know they fired george romero the creator of the genre idiots like that deserve to die of cancer or some type of incurable disease

I can't believe I forgot to mention Silent Hill! 😮

Which character should the movie follow - James Sunderland or Harry Mason?

They fired Romero because they thought the script was crap, apparently. Guess we'll never know.

I also heard that Romero made the zombies all hokey and crap with blue-green skin and glowing red eyes - which is NOT Resident Evil-esque whatsoever at all. In fact, that doesn't even follow his own classic style!

actually i read the script and sounded really good . you can also read it at www.homepageofthedead.com

why only follow one when you can follow them both and get two times the chilly atmosphere of that great game .you can see more of the games monsters and scary shit with two charaters to follow.

What videogames have the potential of being good movies?

I think:
-Metal Gear Solid
-Legend of Zelda
-Megaman
-Fatal Fury
