I'd like to see a Sam and Max movie in the style of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".

I said this once and I'll say it again, I'd like Neill Blomkamp for a Deus Ex movie.
>He can do whatever I trust him.
Also, someone had an awesome idea yesterday for a Splinter Cell trilogy.
1.) Chaos Theory or Pandora Tomorrow
2.) Double Agent
3.) Conviction

>>17845404

>>17845475

Blomkamp is better doing his own thing. Im really glad Halo fell through and he made D9 instead

If that movie actually got made it would be a fucking massive box office bomb sorry to let you know.

>>17845404
That movie would be shit.

>>17845513
>>17845500
It would be better than "POW POW! BOOM! I'M A SASSY ACTION GIRL FIGHTING CGI MONSTERS!"

Trine. Seriously.

Most videogames have either
A) Shit stories
B) mediocre stories that have many elements blatantly ripped off from movies

>>17845490
True, but I keep watching videos for this new Deus Ex game and I keep thinking, wow Neil would do an awesome job juggling the sci fi violence and human themes. Just a thought, you're right though, he does best with his own original material.

None.

That is shit OP. This is why they don't let fanboys make movies, because they fuck it up with their gay idea of 'how it should be'

>>17845540
Most movies have either
A) Shit stories
B) mediocre stories that have many elements blatantly ripped off from other movies

>>17845542
I want to know who gave Alone in the Dark a favorable review.

Sounds great but good luck finding financing for that.

>>17845542

Postal was awesome.

>>17845557
Because "Michael Bay's Metroid" would be so much better, right?

>>17845562

Awwwww, u mad half-life is retarded?

>>17845589
Half-Life, sure, but let's not dismiss all game stories.

>>17845404

>Samus has maybe five lines through the whole movie filtered through a robotic filter

>Soundtrack would be a sinister synth/electro soundtrack with Latin chants

>Final shot is of Samus ascending up to her ship, removing her helmet to reveal a blonde woman

these ideas are fucking horrible

>>17845542
>Pokemon 3

Video Game movies have a history of being really terrible. That said, if it was done right i wouldn't mind seeing a Pixar version of Psychonauts.

>>17845603

well what are 5 games you consider to have good stories?

>>17845632
Listen to the soundtrack for Zero Mission. It would work.

What's wrong with obscuring Samus's gender? It's kind of a thing in the first three games.

>>17845660
I'd rather have the team that did Rango, it's not really up Pixar's alley.

>Final shot is of Samus ascending up to her ship, removing her helmet to reveal a blonde woman

SAMUS IS A GIRL?

>>17845660
It would have to be made without Disney pulling their strings, otherwise it'd be just as bad as the rest.

>>17845661
Tactics Ogre
Planescape Torment
Strange Journey
Link's Awakening
Radiant Historia

>>17845688
I'll give ya that, Pixar's just the first one that comes into mind.

>>17845692

>>17845672

Samus being a girl isnt some top secret only a selecte few know about. Also, having a girl with a helmet on who doesnt speak the whole movie and just shoots space monsters is a godawful characters if you could even call it that. Videogames and movies operate very differently.

>>17845404
>3 hour extended edition
>Alternate ending that doesn't reveal Samus's gender

>>17845702
>Link's Awakening
>Link wakes up after being shipwrecked
>Hey link find some magic instruments to wake up the fish and you can leave
>Good story

>>17845804
>implying characterization comes only from dialogue

She wouldn't just shoot space monsters, just like the game was more about exploring a strange environment than shooting. Zebes used to be her home, she's be trying to figure out how it got wrecked, and reminiscing about the Chozo who raised her.

>>17845880

So you basically want a silent movie, but with a character who cant show facial expressions?

>>17845875
http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=9027706

>>17845911
There'd be shots of her eyes, and her posture would say a lot.

>>17845702
>strange journey
> a sudden massive atomic collapse occurs in the South Pole and causes a space abnormality known as the "Schwarzwelt"

>Concerned with this threat, the United Nations sends a group of researchers from all over the world to investigate the area


>Four teams are sent to Antarctica to investigate the phenomenon, led by Commander Gore. Inside, the investigators quickly find themselves trapped in the Schwarzwelt and that the interior has been infested with demons seeking to take control of the human world.

>demons seeking to take control of the human world

>good story

>>17845404
>>CGI touches, but most of the creature and monster effects are advanced puppetry like Labyrinth or Dark Crystal
It's a shame this won't happen. It'll likely be entirely CGI.

And Samus will be a model, not an actress, who has plenty of lines but they are stiff and awkward. They will add other characters just to make the movie interesting, but it will become less and less like the Metroid we all want to see.

We will likely know who Samus is from the beginning, complete with skimpy outfits or her Zero Suit, which will be tight form-fitting latex. And shown often.

Ridley will be a mindless beast. Kraid will not be in the film.

Fucking Hollywood.

You know, Hitman actually wasn't that bad. I enjoyed it, anyway.

Anyway, as for my videogame movie, it would be a Dead Space adaptation with Joshua Jackson playing Isaac. The film would open with some exposition from a narrator, giving a brief history of what humanity has achieved by the 26th century (like Dead Space 2).

I guess it would have to borrow heavily from Aliens, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Pitch Black too. I wouldn't want it to be a straight up action horror though. I don't think I'd introduce the necromorphs as early as the game either. First of all I would focus on the sheer creepiness of an abandoned mining ship and then how the repair crew reacts to it, arguing over the best course of action, all the while ramping up the tension levels until it's unbearable.

Otherwise I would be fairly faithful to the game as it's a pretty solid "escape from the monsters" sequence of events. And of course THAT ending. Yeah you know the one.

>>17845923

So basically if he wakes the fish up the island ceases to exist? That's all I got from that. How is that a good story?

>>17845944

So when she would be pissed lets say, she would just stomp around angraly followed by a close up of her eyes looking mad. Ya, your idea is still bad

>>17845988
That's the setup, not the entire story. Executed well it could be like "Event Horizon".

>>17846015
Let's say Ridley shows up, she starts off very cautious and defensive, but just keeps getting angrier and angrier and attacking more recklessly and violently.

>>17846010
Apparently the ambiguous ending makes it a "good story".

>>17846050

Yeah man so deep.

>>17845994
There's nothing wrong with the Zero suit. it would be fine if the camera didn't ogle her.

>>17846002
see
>>17845540

Dwarf Fortress: The Movie

a 14 man embark has to deal with giant spiders, elf cunts and goblin armies on their way to reclaim a lost fortress from a legendary Megabeast.

Starring everyone in this photo.

>>17846045
What's the cause of her getting angrier, and angrier?
Did Ridley insult her mother? Or is she just having mid-fight mood swings?

>>17846050
>>17846065
If it was a shitty indie movie you fags would love it.

>>17846091
Probably taunting her with how the Chozo are dead or her parent's memories.

>>17846045

so just like I said, she would be doing over exaggerated movements to show how shes feeling. This is a pretty shitty way to tell a story dude

>>17846117
She would be acting more violently in a FIGHT scene. Can you not read sentences?

>>17846077
Oh, it will. It will.

And it will be directed by Michael Bay.

>>17846092

>first time Im on /tv/

your little videogame has a shitty story son. I suggest you Deal With It

>>17846085
>embark
>suddenly swarmed by demons from nowhere
>movie ends in 10 minutes

The horrors of Dwarf Fortress man.

Part 2, they manage to build a cave fort, then get raped by monsters again.

Part 3, they have a army this time. Still get raped.

Part 10, they survive for a few hours then get raped by a giant boss monster.

>>17846050
>>17846065
It has a certain fairy tale quality and emotional resonance.

>>17846136
>>17846136

So one minute shes shooting at him, then the next moment shes shooting ANGRY!

>>17846144
What if Link was played by whatever child actress you pedophiles are into now?

>>17846157

Yeah but ''if he wakes up the wind fish the island ceases'' to exist isn't a story. The game does not have a good story. It barely has a story at all.

>>17846175
Not just shooting. Again, her posture and whether or not she's being offensive or defensive would be important.

>>17846176

What if Zelda was a girl?

>>17846187
Sound like Inception without all the bullshit.

>>17846196

Im loling at your bad ideas. Please tell me what else would happen in this movie of yours

>>17846175
Dude, you're like, not getting it. She's gonna shoot some missiles at Ridley, and then Ridley's gonna be all like "bitch, yo mama was a bird", and then Samus will start shooting super missiles.

>>17846205 loling

How many cocks are in your ass right now? Just give me an estimate.

The Xenosaga trilogy would make good movies if done right

>>17846229

>bawwwwwwwwwwww stop shitting on my imaginary samus movie

>>17846261
You're either dense or underage.

>>17846277
>Thinks his shitty Metroid movie has any depth
>calls others dense, and underage

>>17846277

>>17846323
You can't offer anything besides superficial criticism, and even that is based on your own misunderstanding.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewcljvJQAQA

Closest thing you're ever gonna get OP

Also, isn't Ridley more of a screecher than a talker?

Movie adaption of any suda 51 game.

>>17846348

I've given you some pretty constructive critisim, You cant have the main characters face covered the whole movie while also giving her only 5 lines, your twist ending sucks since everyone and their mom already knows samus is a girl, and techno music with latin chants is what lame 90s movies have as a soundtrack. Yet all you do is cover your ears and act like a child. Let me spell it out for you, your ideas suck, you will never make a movie, and your idea of a Metroid movie will never get produced by anyone with half a brain.

>>17846348
So far, all you've offered is a 2 hour remake of Luke Skywalker, and Darth Vader's final fight with no dialogue.
You haven't even provided any motivation for why she would become angry, and start fighting recklessly mid-fight.
You make it sound as though she either has the mentality of a 4 year old, or just has a severe case of PMS.

Video game adaptations don't work because the story structure of a video game (if it even HAS a story, the majority pretend to be they're really just tacked on to give some context to the gameplay) is completely different to that of a movie.

The only way I could see video game movies working is an original story featuring characters from a video game, and even then you'd probably be better off being entirely original anyway.

Milla Jovovich as Samus, she uses her jumping kung-fu powers to beat up all of the aliens

Movies = Art
Video Games = Toys

They don't mix.

>>17846420
Ridly screechs a lot, but he's also supposed to be intelligent. He talked in the manga.

>>17846445
You haven't said anything that shows you have even basic critical reading skills. I've told how how Samus would show emotion, and how dialogue isn't necessary from her. I don't want shitty 90's club music, listen to the soundtrack from Zero Mission.

You accuse me of being childish when all your "criticism is shallow and basic.

>>17846465
I've already explained hy she would be angry. The Space Pirates killed her family and wrecked her homeworld.

Nigger retards.

>>17846498
>Movies = Art

>>17846531

Kid, if you want to believe your idea is good then go ahead. But it sucks and anyone who knows anything about movies knows this. All youre doing is covering your ears and screaming like a baby right now. Just go back to /v/ where maybe someone will be impressed by your horrible ideas.

>>17846591
>/tv/
>knows anything about movies

You're a cunt, your mother was a cunt, and you can't read. You're too obtuse to want to understand any ideas that are strange to you. Get raped.

>>17846620

Now young man, theres no need to use that type of language because you're angry. just because you are a little slow doesnt mean you should calls people silly names. Have fun being an angry idiot roody poo

>>17846620

>>17846620
Your version of Samus is kind of a self-insert character for you, isn't she?

>After finally causing the OP to snap, the anons rejoiced and returned to a life of watching porn and bitching at each other over slight variances in opinion.

Just posting my favorite Samus pic.

I don't even like Metroid, can we have any other ideas?

Grim Fandango

>>17846777
How about a movie version of Planescape Torment, I've often thought about it, but don't have any fucking idea as to how it would work.
Also, would require a pretty huge budget to get it right.

>>17846777
Twisted Metal directed by Michael Bay.
At least it would be faithful to it's source material.

>>17846816
I don't know what that is, I'd search for it on youtube but the server's down.
>>17846831
Twisted Metal in 3D PG-13? I'm fucking down for that.

I would do one like this:
>Movie begins with a scene in which Space Pirates raid K-2L
>We see Federation Marines attempt to hold off the pirates. They're outflanked and taken out.
>Ridley emerges and goes on a kill spree. Samus Aran's parents attempt to defend their colony and are killed by Ridley for it
>Samus wakes up from her nightmare. She is still inexperienced but is good enough to give as good as she gets. She is goes after a bounty of a Space pirate.
>She is then summoned to a Galactic Federation Briefing.
>Samus attends the briefing. We also see Adam Malkovich. Samus doesn't take much of a shine to him.
>Samus accepts the mission and goes.
This is where it gets hard to make a story which is essentially just one character not saying anything and not interacting with anyone else while running around underground caves and bases interesting for a good 45 minutes. I guess if you add a Rambo 2 style substory about a federation commander attempting to cut the mission and leave Samus completely alone on the mission because it might not be worth keeping up with. Radio contact between Samus and other characters on the other side would be a must to keep it interesting, though she'd HAVE to have interesting lines that don't devolve into THE BABY THE BABY
>Samus comes across Kraid and destroys him. She then fights Ridley. She remembers what he did to her parents. She fires a missile and watches him as he burns to death in front of her, screaming defiantly as she does it.
>Samus defeats Motherbrain and the Metroids and escapes the exploding base.
>Some end sequence with her bounty hunting some more
>End

>>17846869
The gameplay is almost exactly like Baldur's Gate but its renowned for having an extremely excellent story and characters. Well, at least by video game standards. Also Sigil, The City of Doors and some of the other planes would be an amazing setting for a movie IMO.

>>17846920
PS:T is overpraised by people who've never played pre-Myst adventure games.

>>17846910

yeah this is way better than OPs idea. You could add some shit like Samus finding files on some politician or officer whos been doing deals with these pirates that would put him away for good, so hes trying to end the mission, declare it illegal, basically trying to get her killed

>>17846831

Cheesy, over the top explosions, loud noises. I'm game.

It is a good game, didn't mean to imply otherwise... it's just vastly overpraised.

It's like people who never tasted ice cream before raving over vanilla. Yes, vanilla is delicious flavour but...

>>17846910
>Adam

Sounds terrible.

>>17846910
>Adam
>Radio contact

They tried that with Other M. Also, why would it matter if Samus is left alone or not. She does almost all of her missions alone anyway.

>Shadow of the Colossus
>Lots of large scale, cinematic shots
>Not much dialogue
>Shorten to killing three Colossi
>In between make the trek to each fairly long
>Character development with Aggro
>Flashbacks to the girl, how she dies (reveal it was the main character's fault in some way)
>Main character slowly becomes evil in much the same way
>Aggro dies in the last fight
>Could be extremely awesome if it was taken very seriously
>Now I really want to see it.

I think Metroid Fusion would make a pretty good movie.
Just make Samus X a bit more sentient and able to talk.

>OP's movie

>>17847215
Maybe get rid of Adam.

>>17847192

Directed by Terrence Malick

>>17847248
He's exactly the type of director that could do it well.

>>17847236
>remove all dialogue from the movie
Am I missing or is there some reason why everyone hates Adam?

>>17845542
fuck you man pokemon movies are awesome.

>>17847260
See: Other M

I want to see a fighting game movie that doesn't try to have a serious plot, isn't science fiction, and doesn't try to be intentionally bad. Like the tournament themed chopsocky movies that type of games were originally based on.

>>17847260
He's a crappy insert character who's only purpose is to turn Samus into a dependent, subservient crybaby and downplay the Chozo influence on her life.

>>17847273
Oh. Don't have a Wii : ( but he isn't that bad on Fusion.

>>17847309
In fusion he was just annoying and made the game too linear.

>>17845404 Metroid

That sounds like what I was thinking. Get delToro to direct or even produce. Still will never happen. They even Hollywoodized Hellboy on his watch. Pan Laberynth was closer to Hellboy in tone and such then Hellboy.

Another dream film is Tsutomu Nihei's Blame! by del Toro. He one emailed me about a question about him working on hellboy and said he is a fan of the mangaka.

>What's wrong with obscuring Samus's gender? It's kind of a thing in the first three games.

Like when you finish the game and she's wearing a bikini? Or when you die in Super and you see her in a bikini?

>>17847322
Eh. I found him okay and movie-wise, he could propel the plot forward at a nice pace.

>>17847309
I liked Adam in the manga when he was a much more supportive character and understood why Samus had to leave the Federation police. He seemed a little too controlling in Fusion, and a total dick in Other M.

>>17847372
which is why he wants to reveal her gender when you finish the film
and if you die, you die.

>>17847372
Her gender wasn't revealed until the end in the games. That's the point.

>>17847372
I never really thought about it before, but why the fuck was she wearing a bikini under that suit?

>>17847402
>>17847392
But it wasn't "the thing" of the first three games, after the first most people already knew she's a woman and in Super you didn't even need to finish the game to see her off her suit.

>>17847416
So she could be easily identified as a woman with the limited graphical capabilities of the NES.

It's something light to wear under a heavy suit.

>>17847416
She likes to keep it casual when she goes back to her ship.

Probably grabs a beer and sees how her stocks are doing.

It would be incredibly hard to do a movie with the characters face covered up and minimal lines. Without anything to relate to, you would not be able to create emotional investment for the audience to give a shit about. It was one of the main reason Neil Blomkamp was going to make Master Chief a secondary character in Halo.

>>17847542
Hard but not impossible, especially with flashbacks around significant landmarks on Zebes from her childhood.

>>17847482
Long hair, and tits weren't enough?
I never had a problem identifying the hookers that heal you in Zelda 2 as women.
Anyway, the point was that it was just kind of odd that she was using swimwear as underwear.

>>17847628
It was probably some kind of futuristic space gym outfit. Especially in Super.

earthBound...everything was the children imagintion yet pokey did took the girl
and im gonna do it

WHY did you do this to us?

My Metroid knowledge sucks so I apologize
