What Should be turned into a movie?

[fatbot]

The list is quite long for me. But the first three in no particular order would be Thundercats, Silverhawks and M.A.S.K. A New and hopefully better He - Man Movie would be good shit as well.

Of course there is also Voltron to be considered as well.

Neuromancer - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromancer, which was going to be directed by Chris Cunningham around 10 years ago but never completed - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Cunningham.

That's one.

They was gonna do a Neuromancer. Wooooo. But nuts.

Is the Megaman movie any good?

Fatbot, that Heman movie was GOLD! Makes me laugh.

I am gonna say The Last Ninja as my vote.

[SharkyMcShark]

Matthew Reilly's Scarecrow series or Jack West Jr series. To be directed by Michael Bay.

I don't even want to imagine that many explosions, it makes my head hurt.

You do realise they are working on a new He-Man movie? At least I think they are...

If I wanted something turned into a movie, I would have to vote for the Legacy Of Kain series, all the games were great.

[Deceptic_Optic]

The Visionaries would be good as well.

Akira, Ninja Scroll, Ghost in the Shell, Hellsing and so the list goes on

Bay would be nearly perfect for those films, they are mostly big action pieces with very little character development. The only negative I can think of is that the US Military is not always on the side of good in those books.

Zoids Chaotic Century would make a good CG movie or three.
I'd be somewhat interested in a live action Vampire Hunter D movie.

Thundercats would make a kick ass movie if they concentrate on the setting, concept and characters instead of the actual episode to episode stories which were rather poor.

However Hollywood's 'need' to change things (often for the worse) makes me skeptical than any such adaptation of an 80s cartoon would fare well.

I'm skeptical of game-movie adaptations as the majority of them tend to suck. Although I didn't mind Resident Evil and Prince of Persia looks to be okay judging from the trailer - but these are exceptional.

The reason they suck is because of what I stated above which also applies to game movies. They end up changing so much of the source material in the adaptation that what you end up with only has a passing resemblance of what was originally and often feels like a nameslap. Much of what made the game appealing is lost during the 'Hollywoodtized' conversion. In recent times we have seen another form of Game to movie conversion in which the setting and costumes are spot on but the story and characters are radically changed to something different and lesser than the source - I fear this is the fate of Prince of Persia.

I believe that it's possible to make a good game-Movie adaptation since several video games have gotten some kick ass stories and characters - Many much better than anything Hollywood has given us.

The problem is that for it to work, you need someone who cares about the source material and won't just put it aside so he can introduce his own stuff.

I agree, just look at the film adaptions of House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark which were directed by Uwe Boll.
