The problem with most game movies is the director the guy who did house of the dead is trying to buy the scripts for lots of other games aswell, he needs to be killed. He knows nothing about movie making except how to make them suck. The director who did Resident evill and avp also did mortal kombat, all good movies. Directors should not follow the game so strictly then it gets boring, resident evil was just a good movie period even though it only hinted at the game. A halo movie would blow there is not enough story and depth to the halo world to make a good movie. Also did anyone hear that a prince of persia movie has already started production.
Resident evil was a pretty good extension of the games. It didn't simply touch on the games, it's now part of the resident evil story line. Great, great movie. That and mortal kombat are probably the best two game movies ever made. The first mortal kombat. The other two kinda sucked. The third especially. The second at least never made me cringe.
And Halo has a pretty interesting story and they could do a lot with a movie. Perhaps the start of the Spartan program? They could do a movie based on the fall of reich. They wouldn't even have to base the movie on THE Master Chief if they did the movie based on those. Although they probably would anyways... lol.
Also, if they do make the movie and they show the master chiefs face, the director needs to go bankrupt. The master Chiefs face belongs on the xbox whenever bungie decides to show it.
