Here's a few of mine from a
thread I made a while back. These are some of my, uh, interesting "game to movie" ideas I thought might be appropriate here.
Mega Man
Director: Paul Verhoeven
Starring: Peter Weller as Mega
Synopsis: The long awaited reunion between Weller and Verhoeven has arrived. Inspired by the cover art of the original 1980s game Mega Man, Verhoeven attempts to reclaim his Robocop throne with another tale of science fiction mixed with dark, political satire. Shot in 9 chapters, Mega Man will attempt to be the Pulp Fiction of the Sci-fi genre.
Also starring:
John Rhys-Davies as Dr. Light
John Astin as Dr. Wily
Sharon Stone as Roll
Rated G for good fun
Running time: 89 min.
Super Mario
Director: David Cronenberg
Starring: Phil Fondacaro as Mario
Synopsis: Cronenberg is back with another reality bending film. Marios Boston plumbing service is enjoying success for the wrong reasons. Instead of being hired for his superb skills Mario is often hired because of his size. Life outside of work isnt so great either. His brother Luigi has shunned him for being neglected and his love life is next to nothing. With the stress getting to his head, the manic depressive Mario attempts suicide only to be suck down the toilet into the twisted fantasy world of the Mushroom Kingdom. There he finds the land enslaved by the evil Koopas and the only way to stop it is to seek the help of the Princess who is held captive in one of the kingdoms many castles. But the real problem is, is the Mushroom Kingdom real or is Mario actually dead?
With Mario growth effects by Rick Baker, a pulse pounding score by James Horner, and a special guest appearance by Shigeru Miyamoto as new character Mr. Happy Man Smiley Face, Super Mario is bound to be super fun for the whole family!

Amagon
Director: Sylvester Stallone
Starring:
DJ Qualls as Amagon
David Paul as Megagon
Synopsis: Hot off the success of the gorefest Rambo, Sly Stallone decided his next film is going to be a video game adaptation. When searching for the right source material Stallone came across a little known game called Amagon. The game dealt with a weakling marine who can grow to super human size and strength to fight the invasion of spiders, birds, bees, mushrooms, lionmen, and aliens. When asked why Stallone responded Well I believe the boy represents the common man, the aliens are representive of the oppression the common man receives from random outside factors, and Megagon is the symbol of the fight within all of us to battle this oppression. I chose the game because its the underdog we all root for. When asked what he answered DJ Qualls blowing the shit out of lionmen with an AK47 is badass.
Also Starring:
Peter Paul as The Lionmen
Rated R for scenes of rape.
Running Time: 2hrs and 23 min.
Splatterhouse
Director: Takashi Miike and Shinya Tsukamoto
Starring: Riki Takeuchi as Rick
Coming off a bet (in which the details will remain undisclosed) Miike and Tsukamoto team up to create what they call a career defining moment. Choosing Splatterhouse as the films backbone and a budget that is considered to be a milestone in Japanese cinema., the directors state this will be a gore film for the ages. Riki Takeuchi stars as Rick, a man who must save his love from a haunted mansion only to get cursed by a skull shaped mask. Tsukamoto will direct the psychotically bizarre parts of the film and Takashi Miike will direct the really, really f***ed up moments. Miike claims This film will make grown men weep like wittle babies. Why? Because it isnt real.
Also Starring:
Who the f*** cares, its got Riki Motherf***ing Takeuchi!
