Video game —> Movie often equals horrible consequences. Street Fighter, Double Dragon, Super Mario Bros, anything with Uwe Boll’s name on it. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Hit the jump for all the current movies that are slated to be made from gaming. Of course, a good portion of these won’t be made and a good portion that are made will be fucking awful.

26. Area 51 (2011)
I just want the Halo movie to be handled properly. I don’t care when it comes out.
Gears of War could be cool if they do it well. Area 51 movie? Wtf?
I loved the first Mortal Kombat movie, but the second one was just atrocious.
I think mirrors edge would be a good movie.
I would love a Splinter Cell or Metal Gear movie.. but then again it could just ruin the franchise… sigh…
How many of those is Boll going to butcher?
Should label next to the titles as for which one Boll is going to direct and take a shit on. Kane & Lynch movie? The wasn’t that good I don’t know how it even earned a movie adaptation. Most of these will probably be direct-to-dvd or something because of low budget = bad quality, sometimes.
I’d be in awe if they will make WOW or any other games portrayed by real people instead of graphics.
If they made a WoW movie that was done in the same fashion as the LOTR trilogy, people everywhere would shit themselves. Marriages will fail. People will get diabetes from pop tarts and red bull. Basically all of the worst things in the Bible.
