Could interest some of you, as this one is a bit more of an adventure game than say.. Tomb Raider. This goes to show you what a huge market video games are, haha, oh god someone put me to sleep the day they decide to make "Myst the Musical"

-- excuse me if this is already a well known fact, I just realized most gaming sites have probably already reported this. I thought the cast was interesting tho.
P:DA : The Movie!
Well, EvenWolf, if there's money there, so why not?
Rober Redford Saves the day is the OBVIOUS choice for the AGS film
a woman beat john romero at Quake once, forget what her name was, i wouldn't mind beating romero...
but, more on topic, i was friends with loads of girls at school and i get on with girls much better than boys...
Shouldn't this be in the other thread about boys and girls being friends? :)
But more on the subject: I think an AitD movie would work, if they focused on character and plot development.
If I wanted mindless slaughter, I'd play the game.
what the hell? i thought i was in that thread, i swear i was...
All movies based on games so far SUCKED.
This however has potential if they do it right.
I'm afraid it could turn to Resident Evil style however.
RE had potential until they f@cked it up.
Can someone actually name a movie based on a game that's worth watching?
Alien vs. Predator.... I hope.
Metal Gear Solid would make a great movie.
Blade Runner's the best film-based-on-a-game in my opinion. Although the game must have been in development for AGES since they screwed up the release dates LOADS!!! The film came out WAAAAAY too early!!!!
naturally I jest. But I didn't think Tomb Raider was as bad as everyone said it was.
........i like the super mario brothers movie......
Me too. Trust the fungus!!
I think I read somewhere that they're going to make Metal Gear Solid into a movie, actually.

How about "Myst the Miniseries" (to be released this year)?

I can't wait for a Star Wars movie. You'd think with all these games they'd have thought of it by now.
Ha! MacPhee, are you trying to bargain me down from the musical? What if I just took a croquet mallet to both knees for the miniseries? Is that a good compromise?
Dude, this should be a great mini series. No dialogue except for one five minute period of every show when these horribly acted brothers whine about eachother. Put me down Mr. McNeil.
I liked the Tomb Raider movie. And the Super Mario Brothers movie was fun, even though it was only vaguely based on the game. I weep at the idea of a Myst miniseries and Alone in the Dark might translate well to film.
I, for one, would like to see a movie based on Princess Tomato. People would at first assume it was something in the vein of VeggieTales, but would soon learn their horrible, horrible mistake!
Know what the world needs?
Chip's Challenge: The Movie
I think the Pirate Fry series would be a hilarious movie ;)
I've never played the AitD games, only the demo for 4...it was very Resident Evilish, but I'd rather play the original.

Come on! The Bio Hazard... Resident Evil series is a shameless rip-off of the AITD series.
Quest for Glory as a movie. Hmm...
:P
Wasn't there a thread somewhere where we chose actors to play characters in our favorite video games? :P

Heh, I wouldn't know since I never played any of them, except the demo of the 4th one...

Yeah. Wasn't it Bruce Willis that got picked to be the actor for P:DA?

They are making a AITD movie I think. Unfortunatley it's being based on AITD 4 and the director's resumé seems to consist mainly of garbage.
