Currently Browsing: "Video Game Adaptation"

You’d think that by 2009, putting a solid amount of money and known actors into movie might not result in a piece of crap. You’d be wrong.

Maggie Q has joined the cast of King of Fighters, based on the hit videogame series from the mid to late nineties. She’ll be fighting alongside Ray Park, Sean Faris, Will Yun Lee, and David Leitch.

If there is anyone who needs to do a little bit of setting the record straight, it is Brett Ratner. Though, I would surmise that the Rat isn’t really looking to get that spotlight off of himself, as he has been one of the most talked about non-working directors of 2008.

It seems that after those sweaty Jake Gyllenhaal photos made their way to the press, security has tightened up. Now all the media can get hold of are snapshots of large buildings which don’t move around a lot.

I don’t really get it? How is this any different from Halo or any other futuristic, other-worldly, shooter game? While the graphics are pretty dark and creepy, and the content is certainly for a mature audience…is it really that special?

The trades are confirming today what Latino Review told us back in early April, that Jake Gyllenhaal is going to play the title role in Disney’s Prince of Persia.

When you think of the video game Halo, what comes to mind? I think of a lot of time spent in front of my television, eating Cheetos and “socializing” with friends as I dominated 14-year old kids all around the world with the butt-end of my shotgun. You may have a different thought, but that is pretty much it for me.

Mila Kunis (That 70s Show) has been cast to co-star as an assassin looking to avenge the death of her sister.

Time and time again we see movies adapted from video games fail miserably.

The movie may be getting rocked by critics, but there are 3-4 minutes of a nude Olga Kurylenko somewhere in the middle to take the sting off the train-wreck of a story.
