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.

Yeah, Also a Stargate game would be good. If squaresoft took both these games up (Seven Days & Stargate SG1) they would have immediate best sellers.

Ive said it time and time again they should release a game based on John Carpenters masterpiece, Escape from Neew York!! The chance to play as (the real) Snake Pliscan!! That would be great!!

The A-Team, as long as it wasn't a poorly created game then this could be ace.

What about catdog the cartoon, controling either end of catdog while the computer controls the other end:
such as cat task get the morning breakfast and the newspaper to read while distracting dog and preventing him from destroying the paper
or a dog task dig up the garden to find favorite toy .
there could be many bizarre thing you could do just as in the cartoon...
such as getting to the shops on a bike: dog peddles while cat steers and having to interchange control of them to negotiate difficult stretches of road or to control the speed of the bike to make jumps , there would be possibilities for a two player co-operative modewith each player taking one end of the catdog.
this cold be a crazy game!!!

If anyone has seen the manga film 'Blue Sonnet' that would be an excelant game, You could play as either Blue sonnet of the red fang and battle it out in a 3D beat'em up style fight fest (That sentence sounded good in my head)!

I can see a Neighbours game proving instantly popular. You could get to assume control of Bouncer, the dog, and run amok in Ramsey street, mauling every character that ever annoyed you to the extreme. I'd start with Melanie Scully, rarghh!

I really,really REALLY want The Matrix game.
Think about it, wouldn't it be great playing some of the scenes from the film. For example, the bit where they're at the reception; running up walls and mutilating the guards.
Best game ever!

It could be a sims style game but as you said taking control of the animal residents, and using them to evict/send to jail the human residents by whatever means possible.

It looks like I may not get regular acess to a television for some time to come, but I still have my gba and an american tv listings guide for the "fall" season.
my predictions are that a game will be made of the 5th star trek series enterprise, and one to look out for is a programme called 24 : 24 episodes spanning one hour each of the same day with some plotline that I can't remember right now, or possibly games that revolve around the whole set in one day premise.
I'm sure these programmes will be on sky and then eventually terrestrial television.
