Spaced worked as a TV series and that was full of film and pop culture references.

Yeah what I meant is that Resident Evil was based on early Zombie movies and then the game was turned into another zombie movie. So this was similar to a Mafia gangster game based on old movies being made into a new movie.

Why not, could base it on Tommy Vercetti and some exploits he gets up to in another city. Doesn't have to be a straight remake of Vice City or GTA3. Sure Rockstar could come up with an original story for it.

At least Resident Evil had a loosely original plot structure, and they wrote a new script for the film - even if it did turn out rubbish.

GTA is a medley of pop culture and film references. It wouldn't work as a film.

I believe as well when Al Pacino says his famous phrase *say hello to my little friend* the room he is in is the same one that is in the mansion you get in Vice City

Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City are largely based on popular crime/mafia thrillers. Therefore making a film would be a film based on a game based on many films. It'd be ridiculous.
