Let's be honest, when games have made it into films, they turn out to be utter pants. Good examples of this would be Mortal Kombat and Streetfighter, as they were both utter pants.
At the moment, there are loads of games that are being made into films.
The one that everyone knows about is Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Can this film live up to the reputation of the games. I should think so as it looks stunning, having seen the trailer. It not only boasts a new plot but it alos pushes all sorts of technological and artistic envelopes.
Tomb Raider is also one that everyone should know about. And once again I ask the question, can it live up to the reputation of the games. The plot certainly will, and with Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft, it should be good.
Resident Evil is another game being made into a film. The good thing about this is it is being directed by Paul Anderson, who directed the brilliant Event Horizon. The bad point about this is it is being directed by Paul Anderson, who also directed Mortal Kombat. Could be with us by Halloween, so will just have to see if this can do the Resident Evil name justice.
The three mentioned above are certain, either at the filming stage or filming is finished.
There are others that are floating about as well.
Metal Gear Solid: There were talks about this, which came to nothing, but a big screen appearance for the Snake shouldn't be ruled out just yet.
Duke Nukem: Only in the early stages at the moment, with The Rock pencilled in to play the role of Duke.
Soul Calibur: With none other then Sammo Hung directing (hopefully), this is bound to be good. Visit Sammo's own website 'www.sammohung.com'.
Can the curse of games to films end with these films. Can they prove films of games can be good. We'll just have to wait and see.

Good, good.
What about Dead or Alive becoming a film?? The rumours are flying about - Could this just be an excuse to release cheap porn??
Event horizon was such a good film.
The advantage of doing an MGS film is that all the characters actually have actors already.
