A Lesson in How to do Video Game Movies: DAY 2

How to make a BAD video game movie or how to prevent doing a good one!

  • Uwe Boll Can Not Be Attached - C'mon. The man ruins movies. Postal? Far Cry? BloodRayne? House of the Dead? 'Nuff Said.
  • Don't Change the already good story from the game - Don't make your own thing. Use what already works. It has potential until Hollywood tampers with it. OR....
  • Let Video Game Writers make the story lines if you plan on tampering with it - They know the story better than any other writer. Just let them write it and everyone's happy.
  • Make something other than Survival-Horror games - We've already established that those movies don't work (Doom, Alone in the Dark) so why beat a dead horse. Try something more interesting and visually effective like Halo, Gears of War, Fallout, or Metroid Prime.
  • Don't make a Guitar Hero or Rock Band movie - Brett Ratner I'm looking at you. It would be like making Almost Famous meets Spinal Tap under the Guitar Hero name.
