Well I don't know if anyone else has already - but I've seen the trailer for the film today on a friends DVD he got :-)
He just got the film Hollow Man and it had a section for upcoming films and Final Fantasy was one of them. It has to be said that the film is looking amazing and will definatly appeal to fans of FF and probably even a lot of the public in general.
Another film thats to be based on a game is Alice. Apparently Wes Craven (Scream) will be running the show. Anyone whos played the game on PC will know it certainly offers a "different" view of wonderland ;-)
Normally its games being made based on the films, but now it seems to be swinging the other way just as often what with past game title films such as Mortal Kombat and (the very poor) Streetfighter film.
Overall though I'd say Final Fantasy and Alice are set to be a lot better quality than the other 2 mentioned films. You can't help but feel a real essence of "cheesy" when watching actors trying to be Ryu, Guile and Sub Zero. Of course the Tomb Raider film is due out soon too. But I can't help thinking that will be yet another dose of cheese.
Great idea, and that's what SquareSoft have done. Read "Sniper's comprehensive review", I thought it was pretty darn accurate in describing the game in detail.
