Video games based on Movie or Movie based on Video games
Crazy Taxi - The Movie
Richard Donner has the rights to the Crazy Taxi video game and will adapt it into a film.
Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within
Animator Andy Jones speaks recently about the computer animation techniques used to create the Final Fantasy film adaptation.
Jurassic Park III Video Games
Seven different video games based on the Jurassic Park III property. None are strictly based on the film, but all incorporate some elements in games for kids and young adults, for PC, Gameboy Advance and Playstation 2.
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X
The latest Resident Evil game for PS2. It's an exciting adventure, and may be addressed in future film sequels.
Star Wars - Obi Wan Xbox
The best Star Wars game and probably best movie game ever is Obi Wan, a third person action game giving you total control over the lightsaber and force powers to boot. This game alone makes the Xbox worth owning.
The Mummy Returns PS2
In this video game adaptation, you can be the evil Imhotep as well as heroic Rick O'Connell in a third person adventure for Playstation 2.
The Sum of All Fears Game Demo
Ubi Soft's personal demonstration of the new Tom Clancy game, The Sum of All Fears.
Tron DVD
The very first video game movie got a massive two disc special edition DVD, and it's pretty cool.
E3 2005 Roundup of Video Games Based on Movies - Evil Dead Regeneration, Shrek Super Slam, Jaws Unleashed and more.
At the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), previewed a slew of video games based on movies like Evil Dead, From Russia With Love, Jaws, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chicken Little, The Chronicles of Narnia, Batman Begins, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Zathura, Shrek and TV's 24.
The Shrek video game
The popular animated film Shrek got an adventure game for the Xbox.
The Incredibles Video Game on Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube
The Incredibles is a great adaptation of the video game that lets you play in all sorts of missions with each member of the Incredibles family. Mr. Incredible missions get old fast, but Mrs. Incredible and Dash rule, and the levels expand on the movie perfectly.
DOA: Dead or Alive (2006): This video game based on busty babes fighting each other will also spawn a full-length movie starring ‘Play Bunny’ Jaime Pressly and model Devon Aoki.
Far Cry (2006): Retired Special Forces Officer Jack Carver will again kick some butt in the movie adaptation of the video game of the same name.
Metroid (2006): Twenty years after Metroid hit the shelves, director John Woo will take his shot at directing bounty hunter Samus Aran as she battles the treacherous Space Pirates, who attempt to convert the mindless, life-sucking Metroids into a deadly weapon.
Splinter Cell (2006): After so many books, Tom Clancy will now have his game being turned into a movie. Sam Fisher, an elite Black-Ops agent, will infiltrate and destroy a group of terrorists – all in a theatre near you.
Tekken (2006): Based on the popular video game, the movie is about a young man who discovers he holds a great power and must battle a team of elite fighters who will stop at nothing in order to get it from him. Guess who wins?
Alice (2007): Based on American McGee’s Alice. The film will star Sarah Michelle Gellar in the lead. Like the game, the movie will boast of a lot of blood and gore.
Halo (2007): Peter Jackson will have his hands full with this remake of the First Person Shooter, Halo. Somewhere, Microsoft is smiling!
Hitman (2007): Agent 47, who’s hired by ‘The Agency’ to kill targets for money, will be played by Vin Diesel. Hopefully, the camera angles in the movie will be better than what we saw in the game.
Max Payne (2007): Detective Max Payne will feel the pain and dodge bullets in bullet-time for the movie. Fortunately, one of the original writers of the game plot will also write the screenplay for the movie.
Mortal Kombat: Devastation (2007): Robin Shou will be back as Liu Kang in the new sequel for Mortal Kombat. Also, don’t miss him in the Dead or Alive movie.
Postal (2007): Mad game Postal will also be joining the wall of games that become movies. Just a reminder – the video game was based on a postal service employee who embarks on a kill-and-destroy mission. The game was extremely violent and “wrong” on so many levels.
Prince of Persia (2007): The first 3D game, ‘Prince of Persia: Sands of Time’, will now become a movie. Not much is known, but the writer of ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ is on board writing the screenplay.
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007): The first two Resident Evil-based movies raked in $90 million. That’s enough to put another zombie-fortified sequel in the works, with star Milla Jovovich returning.
Castlevania (2007): The movie will be directed by Resident Evil and Alien Vs Predator director Paul WS Anderson. The story is basically a story about Dracula and the vampire-hunting Belmont family. Should be interesting.
