Just a thought, and by no means fully decided on. Of course, they could always hire myself and a bunch of other players. I'd get my passport and take some time off work for that, provided the pay was decent and expenses were covered.

Wouldnt Charlie Sheen be Sansha?

Yeah there are what 6 resident evil movies now?

and hell; video games to movies is a better premise than board games to movies AKA Battleship
*barf*

The resident evil series would like to take a bite out of you, based on a video game, panned by the critics, made a metric shedload of cash at the cinema and on DVD.

then there was Doom which kind of proves Akirei's point, even Uwe Boll couldn't have made that worse.

They were bad movies. A guilty pleasure at best.

You say that like a guilty pleasure is a bad thing

/me has various guilty pleasures, Kylie Minogue is one of them

Why has no one listed any actors for the Jove?

Wait, you don't need an actors for people hiding in the shadows.

As long as Uwe Boll doesn't have a thing to do with it, I'm sure it would at least recoup the expenses.

it'd be a resounding success, like all the other successful movies about video games, such as

Laura Croft and Resident Evil (the first ones) did pretty well and those are off the top of my head.

What exactly defines 'successful' is entirely dependent on each persons own personal view. Some just look at how much it grossed. Others look at how closely the film stays true to the actual video game. The biggest mistake most producers make when deciding to make a film based on a video game is trying to appease the video game fan first instead of other core elements like a great script and good director. Some thing that the film being based off a successful video game is enough to carry the film and that is simply not the case at all.

Belive it or not, the first Resident Evil movie was actually pretty good. Maybe you didn't like it, but most people seemed to.

Aside from that the only other movie that actually comes to mind is House of the Dead, whatever it was called, and yeah it was awful. Had nothing to do with being a movie based on a game though, it was just a bad movie.

Bad movies aren't usually bad because of what they're based on, they're bad because they weren't done well. Most Stephen King novels have been turned into pretty bad movies, even when he wrote the screenplays himself. It's not because books don't make for good movies, it's because the movie wasn't made well.

Once upon a time comic books were notorious for being made into bad movies. Look at some of the biggest movies to come out lately. Iron man, Avengers, the first and second spider man, the last three batman movies. If the movie industry looked at what was done in the past and said, "well, movies based on comic books are bad" we would have never got some really great movies made.

Thankfully the world isn't full of people that make ridiculous statements like the one quoted.

the the god awful mario movie from the 80's

I think the real question is, who would play Jamyl Sarum?

(I nominate Angelina Jolie, she's good at playing megalomaniacal sociopaths)

And come to think of it, Dennis Hopper would probably make a good President Souro Foiritan.

I dunno but you can be sure atleast the Gallentean women would be showing their breasts each episode, the Amarrians would be played by people with really british/shakespearian accents, and the Civire would never stop cussing.

EvE is to racist to make it to TV and if it did it would be a dumbed down version.

I think lots of people disagree with that statement, especially after they have watched the Clear Skies series.

If it ended up anything like the newer BSG I would be over joyed. TV needs more/better sci fi.
