Shadow of the colossus sounds okay as a movie... In theory.

WORST MOVIE OF ALL TIME FOREVER
Unless Clint Eastwood was Ocelot, Morgan freeman was every black dude, and Tom Cruise with irritable bowel syndrome was Johnny Sasaki.

Fixed.

Well, we got some entertaining quotes from it.

That was pretty weird.

This topic should be changed to, "What Games Actually Should Be Made Into Movies?"

There are about a million* games that should never becomes movies, and probably never will.

*not an exaggeration

Metroid

And this is where I make my objection. I could actually see a Metroid movie working...but it wouldn't be ANYTHING like the games. Here's the idea:

Opening scene: Touching family time with the Arans on their colony, a little exploration, enough to make you a little attached to the family and their very cute little girl. Then the space pirates invade. Ridley personally takes care of Samus's parents while she watches from hiding...Ridley's theme would be a recurring musical motif, along with Samus's theme, but well orchestrated, and lengthened into full, not looping songs.

Chozo find, brief childhood with the Chozo, etc.etc...flash forward to the Academy...not many people like her there...she's different in subtle ways, and better than everyone...etc.

And basically, I could see them exploring the original Adam Malkovitch...And the mission that cost him his life.

Anyway...It would have less of Samus in Varia/power suit, and more of her as a person and her life.

It CAN be done...but VERY carefully.

That would make a good movie, but you gotta simplify the pitch. Studio executives only have the attention span of goldfish. Just go into the office and declare "hot space bountyhunter chick with a gun!"

They should have had the lesbian facebattling before the badassery. Or during. In fact, seeing some headshots while liplocked would be double badass.

Why does that sound like any action movie?

What are you talking about? You mean that Japanese OVA? Technically, that was a 2-episode anime series that the English distributors decided to combine into one big movie.

That's the pitch I give to people who actually know what's going on. To movie execs...I can speak their language. And their language is very universal...cash. I can speak cash really well. (bodaciously, as in, I'm good with economics. I'm not rich)
