so what's with the sudden uprise in game interest, resident evil and resident evil:nemesis, house of the dead, dead or alive, tekken, etc (suppose parappa the rappa is next) Has someone told the movie companies, game based films win oscars? They always change it anyway, why are then characters in res evil film named alice and rain? why did they ruin there one chance with final fantasy, not like final fantasy 7/8 didn't have twists or a good storyline? Anyone know any other games-movies due and what do you think
of the current ones, think I prefer books to films like LotR.

I just found an article on Gamespot.com that State of Emergency is also going to made into a film. Bit of a strange choice, here's the link anyway:

No, 'this guy' isn't trying to be banned. I don't think retard is a particularly strong offensive word.

Is this guy trying to be banned? Going around calling people 'retard' dont you think that this is whats known as offensive language?

Any way, I apolagies to anyone who was upset by me wrongly saying that CTHD was a Japanese film when really it was Chinese.

I knew there'd be someone to act like this. I'm not saying I don't like subtitled movies as there are plenty of subtitled movies which I think are great.

And anyway, Crouching Tiger was Chinese you retard. Don't act like you know what you're talking about if you don't!

Plus, how many Japanese actors do you think you're gonna know in this Metal Gear Solid film. In CTHD, there was Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh. At least I knew some of the actors in it.

MGS the film will be helluva lot better if made by the Japanese!

I take it those of you who are saying it'll be naff haven't watched hardly any Jap films. There great! If it was made by the Americans it'd probably just turn out to be a cheesy James Bond type film!

Oh and as for the Dead or Alive movie. Can't wait to see that one! :D~

Loads of people for some reason liked the foreign Crouching Tiger didn't they.

But I'd agree with you, hate foreign films - can't stand subtitles.

They're the ones who created MGS, they know it better than anyone, I would much rather have the movie in their hands than some american who will just change the whole thing.

Well, what's wrong with it is that:

1) the actors will not be known to us in the UK (unlikely anyway)

2) it probably will never be released over here

3) Kurt Russell won't be Solid Snake!!!!


It isn't likely to be as entertaining as it would be if it were made in America. It would be in our own language, with actors we know (probably), with a bigger budget and KURT RUSSELL!!!

Just for information, Resident Evil: The Movie came out on American cinemas today.

Oh and there is a Metal Gear Solid movie being made.. BUT DON'T GET ALL HAPPY AND CELEBRATE because it's being FILMED IN JAPAN with JAPANESE ACTORS and all in the JAPANESE LANGUAGE. Hmm, sounds great doesn't it?!?
