Movie Sequels, Prequels, and More - Video Game Edition

Another look at Hollywood's hilarious concept of upcoming movies, meaning that they have run out of ideas and they can only come up with another round of prequels, sequels, and remakes and nothing original.  In this case, we will be looking at all of the video games that are in production to become movies:

  • Hitman 2 - Did you know that the only reason Timothy Olyphant agreed to do the first Hitman movie was because Deadwood ended without warning right after he signed a new lucrative contract and he had to pay for the new house he just bought?  Well, they are making a sequel and this time Paul Walker of Fast and Furious fame will be playing the title character.
  • Assassin's Creed - This is one of the few games on this list that I actually like and it is set to star Michael Fassbender (aka, the young Magneto from the X-Men prequels).  Who knows, they might actually make a decent movie, but I doubt it.
  • Asteroids - Apparently, this one is set to come out next year some time.  Does anybody remember playing this game?  Of course not, it sucked unless you are super old and it blew your mind when you were young and I doubt you care about going to see a movie about this game.
  • Gears of War - Unless John DiMaggio (voice of Marcus Fenix and Bender from Futurama) dubs the voice for the main character, I refuse to see this even though I loved these games.
  • God of War - I never played this one because I never owned a Playstation, but I heard good things and a movie about a guy running around killing gods might be interesting if it wasn't called Clash of the Titans and that movie sucked balls.
  • Mortal Kombat 3 - Do we really need another one of these?  I saw the original in the theaters (I was young and stupid, lay off) and it was stupid, so we know this one will be equally if not more stupid.
  • Metal Gear Solid - Solid Snake killing people while running around under a cardboard box?  Why the hell not.
  • Ratchet and Clank - They actually have a couple of people already lined up for this 2015 movie.  I've never played the game, but considering it is about a gun-wielding rabbit or something like that, there is no way this works out.
  • RollerCoaster Tycoon - What?!?  I have no words to explain why this is being made.
  • Spy Hunter - Remember this driving game?  The one where you can upgrade your car with machine guns, oil slicks, and missiles.  I'm not sure how you can make a decent movie premise based off of that, but someone is apparently attempting just that. 
  • Warcraft - Does the world really need a Warcraft movie?  According to movie studios, the is answer is yes and it is set to come out in 2015.  You're welcome, nerds.

"I guess if you have some aliens in an Asteroids movie, it might work, but still....."
