sigh.... movies....

If you remember, a few months ago I posted a entry on how movies are becoming less and less original. Well, now that feeling has respawned and is stronger than before. Just out of curiosity I wanted to see just how many movies were based on video games. Well as I was searching I came across a wikipedia article entitled, "List of films based on video games" So I thought "sweet, here we go" and did this site deliver. not only did it show a list of movies already made, it gave a list of movies announced or in production, and I nearly just about died. Whether it was from laughter or disappointment I don't know, but I was shocked. Here is a list of SOME of the movies coming out that are based on video games.


Mortal Kombat: Devastation (Yes a third one)
Dead or Alive
Tekken
Spy Hunter
Castlevania
Tomb Raider 3
Resident Evil 3&4
Devil May Cry
Quake
Doom 2
Halo
Prince of persia
Perfect Dark
Hitman
Fear Effect
Driver
Farcry
Splinter Cell
Metal Gear Solid (have to admit... I saw this one coming)
Max Payne
Metroid (I couldn't believe it)

And Finally the one I couldn't even believe when I saw it on IMDB (although there was no info on it) Drum Roll....................................PAC-MAN!!!!!!!!!!! Yes and it's scheduled to be released next year.

These are SOME of the movies coming out. For the complete list check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_movies_based_on_video_games
