In celebration of “Prince of Persia” coming out tomorrow, I thought I would name 5 video games that I think would make great live action movies.
- Final Fantasy – There has been a few animated “Final Fantasy” films for the big screen, but there is none yet being live action. I’m pretty sure there will be one someday.
- Grand Theft Auto (with Niko Bellic as it’s leading character) – They should do a Grand Theft Auto movie based on “Grand Theft Auto IV” story. As long as they don’t make it too “Fast and Furious” like, it would make an excellent action movie.
- Dead Space – The sci fi horror video game that tells a story of Isaac Clarke trapped in a space station with all kinds of monsters and aliens. This would be a great film and I’m sure they will turn this into a movie at some point.
- Assasin’s Creed – I remember youtube did a short live action movie based on the video game and it was a hit in youtube. I think it now deserve’s big screen treatment and I still have never played any of the Assasin’s Creed games yet.
- Metal Gear Solid – The story of Solid Snake needs to happen to the big screen. I thought “Metal Gear Sold 4 – Guns of the Patriots” was a mind blowing video game. Amazing story and amazing gameplay. Please make this into a movie soon.
Honorably mention – “Duke Nukem” – For years there have been rumours of a live action Duke Nukem movie coming out and it has always been rumoured that the Rock Dwayne Johnson was going to play the character but he denied it everytime. I think a “Duke Nukem” movie deserves to happen more than any other video game adapted film. A “Duke Nukem” action movie would be badass if made right.
I didn’t list “God Of War” ’cause Hollywood is already planning one and they are already planning a “Bioshock” movie as well.
