ALIEN / PROMETHEUS / COVENANT / ROMULUS - SPOILERS INBOUND!!

Due to the brief Lovecraft tangent, I'll point out that there's a really nice collected works of HP Lovecraft available for free for ebooks; lovingly assembled, apparently, by a raging fangirl:

I got it on the kindle store a few weeks back for 99 cents; figured I'd donate a bit.

The MTF Transition of Juan Romero

Fassbender just signed on to play Ezio in the Asassin's Creed movie:

I only played the game where you're running around Rome (whichever one that is). But I remember thinking it could be an interesting movie if they dropped or changed the sci-fi elements. I wonder if some people will be pissed about an Irish/German dude playing an "eye-tye".

I want to see a Monkey Island movie, animated or live and while they're at it why not make a Sam & Max movie. And a System Shock movie...and...and...The Dig...

I always wanted to see a Grim Fandango movie.

You take that back!

Those games are too good to be made into movies.

Why don't people remake bad movies/games? I mean, then there's a good reason to remake them, right?

Mass effect movie!

Well.. Guess they are already working on it:

http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Mass_Effect_(film)

It's probably going to be the worst thing ever.

This thread has now turn into what video games we want to see turned into movies discussion..

They've talked about a Mass Effect movie for as long as the Mass Effect games have been in orbit so don't worry... it won't happen. Just look what happened to the BioShock movie Gore Verbinski wanted to make.

I think Silent hill and Resident evil could work as films, maybe even max payne.

No.

Wait.

There also was the Neill Blomkamp/Peter Jackson Halo movie. As much as the story usually suck in the Halo games. I thought that could have been slightly interestning.

Monkey island could be shot by the same person that did the first Pirates of the Carribean and it could be ok.

you mean the same guy that did every one of the increasingly pointless and meandering Pirates of the Caribbean movies?

No, just the first one, if you know what I mean. ;)

Mass Effect starring Ashton Kutcher, it will happen knowing Hollywood.

GTA starring Channing Tatum.

(oh god, it's going to happen now that I've typed it out)

If they're going to make a Mass Effect movie I only want one thing to happen, the rest is superfluous. Shepard must punch and headbutt that female reporter.

Kings Quest starring Jeff Goldblum.

Pac-Man directed by Gaspar Noe
