"which films/television programmes would make great game ideas?"

It seems as though games companys are buying up the rights to make more film/tv franchised games, as the film industry is also buying the rights to games to make films. There are many good films and television programes that may have been overlooked to turn into games or have not been suggested yet. My favourite for conversion are "seven days" a time travelling game to set right events that occur within the last seven days with missions like save the president from assasination. please add your own ideas.

ok then it may not make a great game but what about an alan partridge game, to become norwich's favourite celebrity.
Or a game where you take the role of tv station manager and you have to build up a small independant station and build it into a succesful station. There could be ratings wars, scheduling decisions,advertising revenues, the choice to axe well known programmes or inflence the exit of characters on the shows on your station. with the aim to go from a single station to running your own network to an international network.
thinking about it the tv station manager game would be the best idea I have put on here so far, unfortunately my programming skills are limited to some basic fortran 95.
Please somebody reply!

I would like to see how they are going to make the die hard game for the gamecube based on the first film since there was not a large number "terrorists", so would it follow like the film or would there be some artistic licence in creating more "terrorists"?

we could do with a decent red dwarf game!

there are some tv progammes/ films that would be hard to turn into a game: titanic, gone with the wind, fever pitch, ER, casualty, jonathon creek.....

what about the transformers, the magic roundabout, fawlty towers (some kind of hotel sim with elements of comedy),
police camera action where you could be the police or the criminal in high speed police chases.
the wombles, the truman show, defenders of the earth, I'm sure there are more out there.

I'd be quite interested in how they would make 70's kids cartoons into computer games...

Jamie and his Magic Tourch, Chorton and the Wheelies, et al...


Also... although they made some dodgy Speccy and C64 games way back when... I'd love to play an A-Team, Knight Rider, Manimal, Automan, etc.. titles?

(although, from what I remeber the C64's Airwolf title was pretty cool?)

:)
