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!

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Besides financial reasons, I don't see a purpose to making a videogame into a movie.

Re: Peter Jackson to direct Halo
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.
Re: Peter Jackson to direct Halo
There will be a Doom movie as well
