Could be one of the few game tie-ins I'll be looking forward to. The mind boggles at the thought.
Edit: maybe I was a little overenthusiastic; the article states he and his company will produce, and a director is yet to be named. Changed topic title. Still sounds neat though.
Video Gaming moves closer and closer to mainstream entertainment every year.
No longer is it a "toy", but a major hobby and accepted form of adult entertainment.
I like this.
It will be very nice to see a director contribute TW, eh?~;)
Seriously? The director of "Dead Alive" and "The Frighteners"? All right!
Kick ass~:cheers:

I do see a reason,I mean come on, aren't some of you too thinking that the Baldurs Gate story was a lot better plotted than LotR? Aren't there some others like me, thinking that there should be UT movies about beeing one of these "mercenaries"?
In general a computer game is not really different from a movie - an interactive movie in which YOU can decide whatever you want to do.
Either way i would find a movie about 'David Gemmel' books more interesting, although you can have a lot of your own stuff if you just take a simple action game on what your movie is based on, there is a chance that it will be getting a brainless shooting orgy...
Speaking of which, they better not **** up the Max Payne movie. I loved that game, and it would translate very well into a complete story- it even comes complete with an extended metaphor. Granted, the second game was atrocious (Rockstar did to Remedy what Activision did to EA) but then there doesn't have to be a sequel. After all, Ragnarok is over.
There will be a Doom movie as well
With actual first person sequences, judging by the trailer. For some reason I'm not too excited about that one.
I thought he was just producing it?
I vote for a Elderscrolls movie. Oblivion...? :)
Yeah. I edited my post just after submitting.
Edit: ah, so I can edit the name of the topic? Done.
There is supposed to be MechWarrior/Battletech movie being made.
Wow, lots of them comming out eh?
They're bringing the Flood to Isengard! They're bringing the Flood to Isengard-gard-gard.
Where the demons from hell are really zombies and the Marines are a SWAT team... Why must they butcher it?Quote:
