10 Video Games That Should Be Movies

New York Magazine has put together a list of games that it thinks deserve the cinematic treatment... with several grains of salt. The writers of the piece have Wes Anderson directing an adaptation of Duck Hunt (pictured, above), where Bill Murray seeks to reconnect with his adult sons on a duck-hunting expedition through Europe.
Or Michel Gondry doing a Tetris remake, directing a Z-shaped Elijah Wood with dreams of becoming a painter, "even though his awkward posture makes it really hard to set up an easel" -- until meeting a beautiful L-shaped piece named Virginie. Unfortunately, their love can never be because she's engaged to a square who seems her perfect fit.
All in all, a pretty entertaining read. Best idea?
"World of Warcraft
Director: Lars von Trier
The pitch: Near the three-hour mark, an elf is briefly glimpsed in the background of this Danish morality play about a factory worker who loses his legs in an industrial accident on the way home from the hospital, where he's just learned that he is blind."

video games and movies dont mix, its almost impossible the only exeption i know of wasnt really ahh big as i should say and that is final fantasy VII advent children, for games you cant really put a real person in that role because every person has an expectation of that character, with cgi the creators of the game can do what they normally would with the character otherwise they would have no say at all. to put it simply for a game like oh say Fable, i can't see a big name actor put in that role, but hollywood would put like the rock in it who wouldnt fit
