List: Video Games that need to be turned into Movies


There are many video games that have fantastic story lines and original ideas.  While these games are always fun to play through on game consoles, I would love to see some of them turned into live action movies.

These videos games would have the potential to be awesome movies:

Assassin's Creed

   
  Great news because this awesome video game franchise is already being turned into a movie that is set to release June 19, 2015.  Plus, the movie has already lined up a fantastic actor to star, Michael Massbender.  For people who do not know anything about the games, the story line follows Desmond Miles and his ancestral assassins as he relives their memories.  


  As of now, five games in this franchise have been released.  Each game had beautiful settings such as Renaissance Italy, Rome, and even the Revolutionary War in the United States, so the film makers will have some great material to choose from when creating this movie.  As long as enough money is put into this film and they get a good director, I think it has a really good chance to be an excellent movie.

Bioshock


   Bioshock is one of the most critically acclaimed video games and for good reasons.  It has a great story and a magnificent setting.  The city of rapture is dark and scary, but also gorgeous at the same time.  


  Sadly, there is very little chance that this movie will ever happen.  It was actually in the early stage of production for the past few years but because of budget problems and failure to compromise, the movie was completely canceled.  

  

    However, with the success of the most recent video game in the franchise, Bioshock Infinite, it would be nice to reboot the movie with the new setting in mind.

Halo



   Everyone who has played Halo knows that a movie based on the video game would be incredible. Sadly, it doesn't look like this will happen in the near future.  The project was talked about in the past and Peter Jackson was hired to be the director.  Sadly, financial problems and disagreements brought the project to an end. However, there is a Halo life action television series coming soon.  Personally, I would still like to see Halo make it the big screen with Neill Blomkamp as the director.  Only the future will tell if this movie ever happens.  

Skyrim  



   Skyrim is easily one of the best games ever created.  Recreating the world for the big screen would be difficult and expensive.  It would also be a challenge to take a role playing game and convert it to a live action movie.  The game still has a great story with incredible setting filled with dragons and incredible biodiversity.  Creating the movie would not be an easy task, but it would be worth it.    

Uncharted



  I do not know a lot about the Uncharted franchise, but I can tell that the video games would translate to a great movie.  The game has great characters and each game in the franchise has received fantastic ratings.  The creator of the game is still looking to get Uncharted turned into a movie, but it doesn't look like it will happen in the near future.

Tetris



  Yes! A live action epic of the greatest puzzle video game of all time.  Sadly, this movie would demand a massive budget (probably 300 million or more) to recreate the incredible action sequences in the game.  Honestly, I have no idea why this movie has not happened yet.  If the tone of this paragraph seems sarcastic to you, well it is, but watch this parody trailer below to get an understanding of what a Tetris movie would be like.

Well, those are all the video games that I would like to see turned into movies.  Tell me which ones you would like to see on the big screen!
