Video Game Movie Update
by Chris Remo, Jan 02, 2006 11:30am PSTA few details have surfaced about various video game-based film adaptations currently in the works, and most of it is somewhat odd. First off, you really can't have video game movie news without Uwe Boll, so here's an extraordinarily casual email interview with him done by Creature Corner. A few excerpts:
In Bloodrayne, you've got your highest-profiled cast to date. How did you get all these great actors interested? they loved the scriptRegarding his upcoming projects, Dr. Boll confirmed that he is currently writing the script to the Postal movie and that Gary Coleman will appear in the film, reprising his babe-carrying role from Postal 2. He noted that Far Cry is fully financed and he is hoping for The Rock or Jason Stham (Statham) to play the lead. He also hopes to get the directing rights to the upcoming Hitman adaptation, which is currently set to star Vin Diesel. However, IMDb currently lists the film as being written and directed by Skip Woods, whose only prior projects are writing Swordfish and writing/directing Thursday. It also seems that Paul W.S. Anderson will be writing and directing the third Resident Evil film. Anderson previously directed Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, and Aliens vs. Predator and wrote Resident Evil, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, and Aliens vs. Predator. The next RE flick will be entitled Resident Evil: Afterlife, and will apparently include the game series' Leon Kennedy and Albert Wesker. Anderson will also write and direct the upcoming Castlevania film, though no new details are available. From the same production company as Castlevania come a couple other game adaptations. We've got Tekken, which is being directed by Mr. 3000 director Charles Stone III and written by Michael Colleary and Mike Werb, who collaborated on Face/Off and Tomb Raider. However, for sheer lunacy, nothing beats the mention of a Pac-Man film. As if it even makes any difference, the writers are listed as Hal Haberman and Gil Kenan, who are apparently polishing up the final screenplay. What?

Hopefully that will change. I think Halo has a great chance to be a "real" movie and transcend the whole game thing. Maybe once we get that one big hit (Tomb Raider was almost there), then game movies will get more than third, string movie talent attached to them. You just can't do much with that, no matter what the budget is.

As for info, heres Variety in 2003:
Variety.com is reporting that Hollywood producers Warren Zide and Craig Perry (whose credits include Final Destination and American Pie) have acquired the rights to make a movie based on Nintendo's Metroid game series. The producing duo is currently seeking out writers, directors, and some actors and actresses to fill out the roles of all involved.

He’s had things hard
A short black man in a tall white world
A security guard
The laughter’s gone now
But the joke remains
Everything is different
But Gary’s the same
Sometimes I feel like Gary Coleman
Sad and stout
Out of place with that look on my face
“Whatchu talkin’ about?â€Â
Sometimes I feel like Gary Coleman
But I don’t mind
We all feel like Gary Coleman sometimes
Everybody feels like Gary Coleman sometimes
Except the actual Gary Coleman who finds
He almost always feels like Gary Coleman
He says, “Why couldn’t I just have died?
Another midget suicide
Or I may just fade away
Just quietly dissolve away into nothingness
Just like Emmanuel Lewis didâ€Â
Gary’s good but it’s a drag
Beating kids at Laser Tag
News flash:
He’s not fooling anyone with that moustache
