Upcoming Game Movies And Their Likelihood to Suck

Via Kotaku, a story on the Destructoid site about upcoming game movies and their likelihood to suck. Mr. McVengeance runs down the upcoming pixels-to-big-screen adaptations, and amazingly it appears the situation isn't completely hopeless. Just mostly. From the article: "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Probability of Suck: Moderately Low. This gives me mixed feelings on the fact that there are two writers. First is the guy who actually wrote the script for the game, which is a good thing. Second, we have the writer for 'The Day After Tomorrow'. Then, we have Jerry Bruckheimer working as Executive Producer. Y'know, the guy who's name is attached to Pirates of the Carribean and a whole host of other films? I think this film will end up doing OK. I'll be interested in seeing who gets the job as director."

I know of one movie whose executive producer is actually dead, but still gets credit :)

This isn't a troll... It's a Venture Bros reference, damn it!

If you don't watch the Venture Bros, you don't deserve to mod. I'm not even sure you deserve to breathe, but those namby-pamby panty-waists in government seem to think murder is "wrong" or something. Of course, half of them collect the heads of interns the way fat people collect bobble-head dolls, but it might have something to do with voodoo, or santaria, or aroma therapy - one of those occult "sciences". Hmmmmm, perhaps I should design a robot that runs for office. Now that's a prime idea. Couldn't do any worse than the robots we already have.

Brock! Did I already design a robot that runs for office?
