The movies / shows that you'd want to see but could never happen

[Wikko]

Ending for Stargate Universe

I don't know, I think they are too brutal for TV (yes, they are far more brutal than Game of Thrones)

Agreed. Look at the shitstorm after the Red Wedding...

Now imagine the reaction to the Chain of Dogs.

For me, I'd LOVE a movie/franchise based around Miyamoto Musashi, but directed by Kazuaki Kiriya. His visual style, combined with the badassery of Musashi would be too much awesome.

[Feredir]

A movie based on a video game that isn't full of suck.

Last one that fit that criterium was the first Silent Hill movie. Those days are long past friend.

More like the days haven't started yet. Haven't seen Silent Hill, so I won't comment on that, or Mortal Kombat, which a lot of people think is a fun movie, but I did quite like Warcraft, although I obviously am geared toward liking it more than the average unaware audience-member would be.

Eventually it will happen, because of course. But honestly, I can name very few games that I would actively want to see movies made from, Blizzard is one of the few game studios with expansive original worlds and franchises.

[Super Kami Dende]

WArhammer 40k TV series based around the Dark Angels Space Marines and their hunt for the Fallen.

[JadedTauren]

Wheel of Time

Young Justice Live Action

a US version of the South Korean show IRIS

a US version of the Japanese show Liar Game

There are definitely games that could benefit a lot from a good movie adaptation, especially plot driven ones like Bioshock/System Shock, Witcher, Starcraft, Mass Effect, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (Revan movie would poop on every Star Wars movie since Episode VI), The Last of Us, Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid, Half Life, Deus Ex, Portal, Fallout, the list goes on.

The harsh cold reality is that people in charge of making movies, well, they aren't gamers.

I mean, look at this and tell me there is no possibility for a movie adaptation. (Which by the way is not as stellar as the first Deus Ex which was simply a masterpiece, but it will do.)



A lot of the art is loaned by Blade Runner, but the point still stands.

[PACOX]

A Mass Effect Saga that doesn't suck.

How many good future militaristic sci-fi movies are there?

No Star Wars or Star Trek fancy lasers. I want high powered slugs, space marines, and alien monstrosities.

Starship Troopers?

Most of this list has me go "eh", personally. Either the story is lacking or the universe is mostly generic enough for an original movie of that type to be able to do the shtick.

[Kellorion]

Warcraft animated TV show set between Third War and Vanilla, Clone Wars style, about a group of adventurers.

[PACOX]

Starship Troopers?

I was thinking of that when I made my comment. Not enough space sci-fi movies like that.

[Atrea]

Yeah, most of them don't suck.

Seriously, Starship Troopers is the worst movie of that type I have ever seen.
And I've seen Doom.

[Sierra85]

Overwatch - the movie. live action.

[endersblade]

Ending for Stargate Universe

It did end: With most of us trying to bleach it from our memories.

The Belgariad. Would love to see that on the big screen.

Pretty sure you haven't seen it, I don't know one person who didn't love it.

My guess is you saw the sequels or whatever, because Verhoeven's ST is a timeless classic.

I've seen it, I did not love it. It's a disgrace and an insult to the classic book it's based on. And honestly, the people I associate with share MY views, they certain do not love it either. It's in NO fucking way a "timeless classic".

Indeed, I think too many Sci Fi movies these days try to be too grimdark and serious, they're afraid to embrace the vaguely camp tongue in cheek nature that made so many older films such enduring classics.

I don't think that would work for most. The older movies get away with it because sci-fi wasn't held in too high a regard at the time.
