Alice Movie Off The Ground
After a long period of preproduction, the movie adaptation of American McGee's Alice is moving forward. Eurogamer has the news that 'Buffy' star Sarah Michelle Gellar will play the title role. From the article: "The movie will follow the plot of the game, which adds a twisted spin to Lewis Carroll's classic tales. Some years after her adventures in Wonderland, Alice's parents are killed in a house fire and, devastated by the loss, she winds up in a mental asylum."
War Of The Worlds was set in Eastern England, now look at the Speilberg film. A typical American family coping with the crisis was not what Wells had in mind
Disney never believed that...
...
Alice in Wonderland - British
Mary Poppins - British
Lion King - Africa
Mulan - China
Disney - American company
Spielburg and Cruise will be ruining War of the Worlds. Luckily, a recent British adaptation of the movie was just released, and available on DVD in America now.
"Americans can't relate to things that happen to people who aren't American in countries that aren't the US."
Just remember that whatever country you're from has ugly ill-based stereotypes, too.
"Derp de derp."
Here's hoping American McGee's Strawberry Shortcake will make it to the big screen soon, too.

You catch enchiladas by picking them up behind the head and holding them underwater until they don't kick anymore -VeGas
It will join such classics as Resident Evil the movie , The Mario brothers movie , Alien VS predator(comic as well but still fits in here) , Tomb Raider.... Oh wait they were all pretty much terrible .
It will need a miracle to make this conversion anything beyond awful , the best of which being Tomb raider and it was fairly poor.
Game to movie conversions have for some strange reason (perhaps its the total disregard for the plot (Mario) or the shoddy acting and poor scripts (most of them))
I am not getting any hopes up here , lets hope for a pleasant surprise though
The only things certain in war are Propaganda and Death. You can never be sure which is which though

I resent the flamebait moderation for my post. Some people spout off like their shit don't stink. I was pointing out that maybe, just maybe, they shouldn't be so quick to cast stones.
Ever since the US invaded Iraq, there's been a green light to wrap up 300 million people in vague stereotypes. We're fat, we're self obsessed, we're wasteful, we're ignorant. Insightful, Interesting, Informative. Then we turn around and pat ourselves on the back for wanting to work for the greater good of humanity. It's about America, so it's not okay for me to point out the less than civil behaviour going on here?
America sucks, mod me up.

Ever read the Brothers Grimm?
There are no trails. There are no trees out here.
