Zoo Tycoon :p

[edit by neon_chameleon : Ok, there seems to be lots of thread out about pc game as movies, instead of having 40 different threads for all these, please can everyone rather post their views on pc games as movies here as well so that this thread concerns :

1. Games you think would make games
2. Comments on game movies that are in current production ]

edit// Hey neon chameleon! Shouldnt it say: "1. Games you think would make MOVIES?"

I think that game>movies are better than movie>games...when the games are released after a movie, its normally a ripoff of some other tipe of already existing strategy or FPS. That sucks.

None of them.

The past has shown us that it is not possible to make a decent (or even semi-decent) film based on a game.

Sin City is based on a series of graphic novels by Frank Miller. Any comic book fundi will know them.

As for directors, actors, etc... yeah they do call/visit the studio from time to time but I haven't met any myself. Many of my co-workers who have been working in Hollywood for decades know a lot of celebs and have partied with them... and have interesting photos to prove it...

This topic now deals with movies that are being produced based on games as well. See first post for details.

There has been an announcement that Splinter Cell the movie will be made, as well as Prince of Persia. Doom is already in development, and there were rumours of a Far Cry movie a while back. Progress on Duke Nukem the movie is the same as progress on Duke Nukem Forever ( the game ), ie nobody knows what's happening...

Jason Statham - he's the guy who was in the Transporter and the Italian Job... while watching the Transporter I thought he would be perfect as 47...
