My thoughts and stuff…
Hollywood has been trying to turn popular video game franchise Bioshock into a movie since the first game was released. The story is deep, engaging, full of vivid imagery, and ripe for a film adaptation. But the film has had a s shaky ride toward becoming a film franchise.
Now, the man who had been hired to direct, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, is no longer on board. Continue reading “BIOSHOCK film loses another director”
David O. Russell has been on-and-off the film adaptation of UNCHARTED: DRAKE’S FORTUNE, a film that seems like an odd choice for a director that usually goes for more provocative films. Regardless of that fact, he seems to be interested in making the film again, and is back on the project. Continue reading “David O. Russell back on UNCHARTED”
I truly understand the allure of adapting video games into movies. Look at one of this summer’s big impending blockbusters, PRINCE OF PERSIA, which looks like it could be a really fun movie. However, some video games just don’t seem like they’d be as able to adapt as well as others, which is why the idea of an Avi Arad-produced PAC-MAN movie doesn’t sit well.

Disney’s PRINCE OF PERSIA sounds like a bad idea on paper, but with the resources it’s been given by the House of Mouse, it has the opportunity to be pretty fun. Last week we had a new trailer come out, and to further put fire under this leather-clad, saber-wielding, time-bending adventure, Disney has put out the final theatrical poster.
You can check out the poster in all its Gyllenhaal-filled glory after the jump! Continue reading “Final PRINCE OF PERSIA theatrical poster”
There has been talk of a METAL GEAR SOLID movie for a very long time, and there was even an announcement in 2006. Fans rejoiced! They pulled out their Playstations, and started tapping away at their fan fiction scripts, and we didn’t hear about it again. Now we’ve gotten word, and it is a sad story for all the fans out there.
METAL GEAR SOLID (movie) producer Michael De Luca was quoted saying “I don’t think it’s going to move forward.” That alone is pretty self-explanatory, but then he went into more detail. Continue reading “METAL GEAR movie not so SOLID”
