Games you`d like to see made into a Film

  I know that movie games don`t exactly always turn out great but i still think that certain games could make amazing films if done right.
  
  I know they already have an uncharted film in development which will be good if done right,
  and at one point there was a bioshock film planned but it fell through, apparently the director wanted to stick to an 18 rating but Universal who were funding it wouldn`t give a big enough budget to do it unless they made it a pg or something, in fairness to the director and producer they chose not to do it if they couldn`t do it as an 18, so that died before it began.
  
  Anybody else think that some games would make good films or would like to see certain ones turned into films if they could be done right?

  i know the 360 game halo was going to get a film at one point but as far as i'm aware that's no longer happening or at the very least has had some major setbacks and won't be out for ages i don't think there's even a script yet but i think if done well it could make for a good sci fi film but as we all know the chances of it being done well are very slim.
  
  i think to be honest if you take almost any of the AAA title's it would be possible to make a good film from them it would just be reliant on a good writer/director/cast and a film studio being willing to chuck a decent enough amount of money at it but i think studio's tend to hold back because of past horrors

  I think the Gears of War franchise would be a good one to be made into a film and I believe there has been one in development since 2008 but has succumbed to many setbacks. If it does eventually get released and it doesn't fiddle with the game storyline too much then I can see it being quite successful.

  I did hear about the news they were trying to get a halo film together that totally fell through though.
  There was a rumoured metal gear film in the early stages of development a while ago but i don't think it came to anything which is a shame could of been good, and i recently read that someone had bought the film rights to assassins creed which could be an epic film series.

  i think the problem with gears of war is that it would very easily just turn into a doom type film that's filled with terrible dialog and way too much bad cgi.
  
  i hope if they make assassins creed that they try and use guys who can do par'kor rather than making tons of it cgi

  Having never played gears of war i can't really say much about how good a film it would actually be story wise but i'd probably watch it if it was ever made,
  assassins creed wouldn't really need much cgi, but i'd be fine with more cgi if the story was faithful to the game, but ideally the story would be good without too much cgi.

  i'd be worried that they would use cgi for any part when ezio or altair had to climb something, jump somewhere etc...
  
  as far as gears of war goes, the story in the game really isn't that great, i mean it's ok as far as game storylines go in general but as far as a film storyline it wouldn't be anything special, far too many cliché's really. but it could make for a good action film but as i said to do it justice they'd need to put a lot of money into it to pull off the action, the other problem would be that the characters in gears are seriously muscley, in fact they're comically large so no matter who they got to play marcus (the lead character) could never naturally look anything like the character

  That is one thing i have noticed about gears of war just from the clips, every character looks ridiculously huge,
  i think thats the main problem with videogame movies, studios don`t always want to pump as much money into them, which alot of games require to be done properly.

  exactly, especially because next to comic fans i think gamers are some of the pickiest when it comes to details of their fav games and i know people would get pissed if the actors weren't as massive as they are in the game but then again the fact they're so massive works well in the game and add's to the image of them being bad ass's but i think on film they would probably just look stupid that size so could be a very tricky balancing act needed
