I assume some of these ideas were meant as jokes...Leonardo DiCaprio as Link in Ocarina of Time? Ugh!]]>Jul 1st 2009 1:53PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/
And Yes we definitely need a live-action Final Fantasy VII movie... But what in the Nine Hells of the Abyss were you smoking when you thought up Sia LaBeouf and Angelina Jolie for Cloud and Tifa?? Seriously, Shia LeBeouf could Never pull off Cloud's hair (and honestly Cloud without the hair is Not Cloud!) and I love Angelina -I really do- but she is Way Too Old to play Tifa! Way Too Old. Plus Tifa is the video game girl that looks innocent and frail at first but then she smears your ass across the room with her limit break... You don't expect it from her. With Angelina... well again I love her, but honestly there's nothing innocent about her look lol

Lastly, Ocarina of Time would be excellent as a film. Hells, *Any* Legend of Zelda would make an excellent film... And Evan Rachel Wood could play Zelda, I'm sure... as long as they made sure they left Zelda's alter-ego Shiek in the plot of the film.

But, why would anyone cast Leo DiCaprio -who is Entirely too old- as Link when there are plenty of younger actors who could play him so much better? Leo has excellent acting skills but he's just not Link. Personally, I think Anton Yelchin could pull it off. He's young, he's an excellent actor and, frankly, he has the right look I think. I could definitely see him as a fresh young elf/Hylian/whatever who undergoes a life-changing journey and ends up as a highly skilled warrior who saves the woman he loves and the kingdom he lives in.]]>Jul 1st 2009 2:24PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/FO1/2

Dont even cry like a bitch about Bethesda 'not keeping with the lore. 2 didn't even keep with the damn lore when it added modern weaponry like M60's.

FO3 is far superior to those hunks of junk from a bankrupt, garbage developer.

Go play your relics, fanboy.]]>Jul 6th 2009 12:32PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/Jul 1st 2009 4:47PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/Jul 6th 2009 12:52PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/I wouldn't cross the street to see him much less pay to see him on the screen now if it were Robert Pattinson thats a totally different story. ]]>Jul 2nd 2009 7:54AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/Jul 1st 2009 9:59PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/Jul 1st 2009 10:47PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/

But seriously, this list has more thought process than in any other movie making process. Out of all the movies listed, only one will actually have a movie be made. EA's "Dante's Inferno", whose movie rights were sold off BEFORE the game was formally announced.

day of the tentacle
grim fandago
sam and max
those were original, funny, and had great characters. the games you list are great, but in no way would these characters make a good movie. just look at how they screwed up max payne. My own personal choice for #1 would be:
under a killing moon. - talk about great post apocalyptic games]]>Jul 1st 2009 11:49PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/Jul 1st 2009 11:56PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/
And your casting for FF7 would absolutely ruin the entire FF series for me. Why not cast Miley Cyrus and Zach Efron instead. *bleaches eyeballs*]]>Jul 2nd 2009 12:49AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/Jul 2nd 2009 7:40AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/
2. GTA: San Andreas was already made into a movie. It was called Boyz n the Hood]]>Jul 2nd 2009 9:07AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/http://www.switched.com/2009/07/01/10-video-games-that-should-be-made-into-movies/Jul 2nd 2009 9:58AM
