turning video games into movies is always a bad idea.

its a visual medium already, and more importantly its a visual medium that can go into far greater detail than movies, AND its a medium that usually takes dozens of hours to go through that you are going to have to pack into two hours at the most.

just a bad idea all around.

Out of remakes to do, Hollywood?

Out of bad plots that couldn't be done in the 70s/80s/90s due to technology restraints to make up for it, and now that we have the technology, they still suck Jar Jar balls?

Out of bestellers to adapt?

Out of historic epics that can fit in less than four hours? (Would suggest Romance of Three Kingdoms, but seems it's done already)

Alright. Try games, then burn in a CGI fire, Hollywo_d.
