"Films that should be games"

Shaft. Imagine turning this film into a game. It would be fantastic. The soundtrack would be the Isaac Hayes Theme From Shaft, so would be fantastic. It would be a first person shooter, in the style of Doom, Quake etc, but set in a free environment. You would wander around the streets trying to track down clues to the crime that you're trying to solve, have shoot outs with gangs that you upset, beat up a few people to gain further information to lead you to the villians etc.

Alternatively it could be made in the style of most film licences of the 90's. You control John Shaft in a side scrolling platform, in which you walk accross a side scrolling enviroment shooting bad guys, and jumping onto floating platforms....

To jump on the survival horror genre bandwagon, this seems to be the in thing at the moment, they should release a game based on Sleepy Hollow. Thought the film was brilliant, and could quite easily be translated to a video game. If they took out all the comedy that was in the film, they could set about to make this a real challenger to Res Evil. It would be cool running for your life through forests escaping the headless horseman, or as a twist chase people through the forest as the headless horseman.
While on the subject of Horror, I read from a gaming site a while back that the film, 'The Thing' is to be made into a video game. This is a brilliant movie and should be good as a game, if they get it right.
With The Evil Dead on the way aswell it is looking good for Horror film/game translations. All we need now is for someone to come up with Halloween, Hellraiser, Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th games.

What do you think the Final FAntasy film gonna be like?
If the matrix is getting a game shaft should be also.
