Video Game Adaptations


Deadpulse

Recommended Posts

What video game are you dying to have made into a movie, trilogy, or limited TV series? Some of you might have seen me nerd out on Mass Effect in the Buzz thread and I figured we should have a better place for this! Do some fan casting, talk about changes you would want them to make to fit the medium, etc etc. 

My top choices are:

Mass Effect - live action TV series on HBO
Fire Emblem: Three Houses - Anime
Uncharted - live action TV series (I know we are getting prequel movies but I am not jazzed)
Bioshock - live action TV series
Star Wars: The Old Republic - trilogy of movies
League of Legends - Anime
Warcraft - Netflix animated (like Dragon Prince if anyone is familiar) 

 

How about the upcoming adaptations; do we like or hate that they are coming?

Uncharted Prequel Movie
Halo series @ Paramount+ (Spielberg producing)
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Minecraft: The Movie
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Netflix Anime)
Tomb Raider 2
Borderlands - directed by Eli Roth
Call of Duty movie 1 & 2
The Division movie
Duke Nukem movie
Fallout Series @Amazon (Westworld producers)
Five Nights at Freddy's movie
Gears of War movie
Mega Man
Detective Pikachu 2
Resident Evil Reboot
Assassins Creed TV Series @Netflix

Fallout was the first thing that came to mind that could be a series. Uncharted as well with the seasons being the different games.  However Uncharted games are pretty much a movie anyways with not overly difficult gameplay so not sure it would get much better in live action.  

I had not heard about the borderlands movie but that could be interesting.  They need to get the humor right because that is what made the game great and the lack of it in Borderlands 3 is what made me lose interest much quicker than with 2.  

Destiny is something they could make a movie or series of movies about.  They would have a lot of creative freedom since the story is not overly in depth or connected but they idea and characters would be interesting.  Making a movie with the third act being the Vault of glass would be fun.

I think an issue is a lot of these might work best as an anime.

Legend of Dragoon anime

I think it's being worked on, but a Ghost of Tsushima movie or show

God of War movie

Horizon Zero Dawn TV show or anime

Metal Gear Solid movie please

Red Dead Redemption

Titanfall, probably as an anime

Never thought of Destiny but that could be a ton of fun. The lore of Destiny is really cool IMO

I'm really hoping this eventually happens. I've already came up with some casting ideas.

Marcus Fenix - Dave Bautista (obviously)
Dom - Pedro Pascal
Cole - Laz Alonso or Omari Hardwick

That's all I got right now.

I'm still salty Gore Verbinski never got to do his BioShock movie. 

Also, really looking forward to Eli Roth's Borderlands movie.

Agreed.  They did a poor job telling the story in the games so maybe taking the lore and making it visual and pieced together will help. A lot of cool characters and storylines they could play with and if successful could have a series of movies.

If they get Nathan Fillion back to voice this guy I am in:

Mafia 1 or 2. 1930s with 1 or 40s/50s with 2 Mob show would be killer. Even having one come out in the 1970s to match the next game would be great if the Casino movie can be the benchmark.

Red Dead picking up with Jack Marston where the game left off.

Far Cry 3 or 4. And should probably happen just for production cost sake. Just jungle and huts.

Star Wars. Dash Rendar series.

Assassins Creed. Black Flag. Cause Im Caribbean and needs pirates in my life.

Fallout has been mentioned.
