Assorted Video Game Movies in Development

Obiwan Kenobi writes "Filmforce has a solid round-up of video game movies currently in development. From Alone In The Dark to Doom to Dead or Alive (yes, it includes an Extreme Beach Volleyball scene), some interesting reading on the current progress, or lack thereof, of current video game flicks."

It's already out already out and it's free.

Okay there's no Angelina Jolie and I have no idea if the plot is good, but at least it is faithful to the original game. :-)

Nice, but women rock...

Simply because the Tomb Raider franchise was so successful in theatres doesn't mean that the film and game industries should start making babies.

There are many, many things specific to Tomb Raider that helped build its success as a movie. Primarily, there is a popular need for additional female-driven action movies.

Jinx, played by Halle Berry, from the James Bond series is a good example of things to come. She's also looking at Catwoman. Ashley Judd in upcoming The Blackout Murders and, of course, there's always Charlie's Angels.

Anyway, it isn't affirmative action for the sake of affirmative action... It's a need...

Good luck to these movies, though.

Haven't you ever seen Robot Jox. Yeah, yeah, it's not the Mech Warrior universe, but it's a bunch of big robots fighting each other. It also has my vote for one of the worst movies ever made. When I thought about it, I started laughing to myself imagining my brother constantly repeating one of the worst delivered lines of all time:

We're Robot Jox! .... We're already dead!

Please, see this movie if you haven't already. It's so bad, it's fun.

There'll never be a Duke Nukem movie for the simple reason that so many of Duke's lines are lifted from the Evil Dead movies that Sam Raimi would sue. John Carpenter might join in.
