We all know that movies and video games have thus far, had quite the fail of a relationship. Such "Oscar-worthy" movies as Postal, Alone in the Dark, and BloodRayne have all died a well-deserved death as terrible, God-awful movies. (Interestingly, all of which were directed by the infamous Uwe Boll, who is quite possibly the worst director of all time.)
Looking at recent video game news, I have come upon what I believe could possible believe a whale of a failboat of video game-based movies. Here is a list of some of the games that are planned for adaptation (They may or may not come to fruition):
The Sims
Wait...the Sims? Yes, the Sims is currently being worked as a live-action drama film.
A film based on a game based on real life...the only thing I think that could possibly make this seemingly inevitable flop would be if all the dialogue was spoken in Simlish.
Pac-Man
Wakka, wakka, wakka, wakka, wakka, blip, bewbewbewbew. Yes, Pac-man is in production as a live-action movie. Live-action? Please, just...kill me.
Mass Effect
No. There is no need. This game is too good to be made into a movie. Please, don't kill it.
But, wait...the man tagged to produce the movie is none other than Avi Arad, the man who brought us such films as Iron Man, the X-Men trilogy, and the Spider-Man trilogy. Maybe there's hope for this project.
BloodRayne III: Warhammer
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Sorry I had to share these horrors with you, but it was necessary.
