> Splinter Cell: The Movie
You mean it isn't already? :P
I don't think a stealth game would work all that well, it'd end up coming over as 24 crossed with Mission Impossible but hardly any action.
If a studio actually put some real effort into making a Movie of a game, it could be really good. Sadly it's not going to happen any time soon.
Resident Evil was the best Movie-of-a-game, but even that was average.
Mario Bros, Tomb Raider 1+2, Resident Evil, Ecks Vs Sever etc were all dire to plain bad.
It'd have to be pretty intensive though, to fit multiple (large) storylines into a single movie - you've effectively got Gordon Freeman, Barney, the Opposing force and Mr what-his-face, as well as sub-plots from other possible characters, and the obligatory Hollywood cliché - the love interest :D
