What classic film should be made into a video game next?

With classic films like The Godfather and The Warriors being made into great games and Dirty Harry on the way what should the next classic film to be made into a video game? I would like to see the Rambo trilogy or Aliens become next generation games.

I agree. My suggestion for a movie-game adaptation, if done right, would be more "stop and pop" than "run and gun". Like Gears of War. Without guns. Well, kinda.

Not exactly a ****c but:

Well they are making the Alien movies into games they have already started work on 1 Aliens FPS, and 1 Aliens RPG. There are lots of movies I would like to see as games these are probably going to sound weird or dumb to you guys but oh well.

Nightmare on Elm Street (Would be crazy)

Neverending Story RPG (liked it when I was younger)

Exact remakes of the original Star Wars movies into games (risky but would be awesome if it was done right)

Indiana Jones (awesomeness)

Lord Of The Rings Movies into games (the ones last gen were crappy except return of the king)

Fight Club (that last one didn't count)

Matrix (nuf said)

Sin City (come on)

Braveheart (nuf Said)

Bladerunner (could be cool)

Back To The Future (Would Be So Awesome)

Gladiator (nuf Said)

DieHard (Awesome)

There are others but this post is already too long, sorry.

Personally I'd love to see Alphaville made into a game. It would be a black and white adventure game with some shooting elements.

Also:

ESRB be damned, this would make such an excellent sandbox game.

A Nausicaa Action RPG would be awesome as long as you could control the glider.rragnaar

A Battle Royale game would rock! Think about multiplayer, 40 players on the island hunting each other down with whatever weapons they can find.

I vote they stop making clas-sic movies into video games. But, since they're going to do it anyways, here are some suggestions:

Red Dawn

Cyborg

Mad Max

Ninja Scroll

Fist of the North Star (been done, but not very well)

Vampire Hunter D

Commando

I could probably think of a few more good ones given time.

Remember this film but not the name that would make a good game.

It had bob hoskins and him and his brother were plumbers and they get transported to this other world with weierd dino things. I am thinking you could make a decent platform game out of it.

The Directors Cut is coming to theaters soon!!!

Yeah, the point and click Blade Runner was awesome! I beat it in like two days because I was so obsessed with it. It would make a pretty decent RPG, but I'm thinking something more along the lines of the way BethSoft is doing Fallout 3. I guess it would be Action/Adventure/RPG or something. Still, it would make an awesome game. I vote Blade Runner for best suggestion yet.

Totally... It was made into a pretty decent point and click adventure game in the late 90s... It was cool because you played as someone else in that world.rragnaar

They could definitely use completely different characters from the movie, in fact, the movie Blade Runner was actually set in an already pre-existing world of fiction....I've read that Blade Runner is actually set in a world that was first introduced in a book called "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" from back in the 1960's.

In fact, supposedly all cyberpunk ****science fiction is based on both that book and William Gibson's "Neuromancer".

I could never understand why there arent any really awesome pure Cyberpunk RPGs, it seems like such a great setting.....the only two games to ever really successfully tackle the setting with a game is Shadowrun on the SNES and Deus Ex (which is technically a shooter).

I think an RPG from the right developer (like a 2K Boston (formerly Irrational Games), BioWare, or Obsidian) set in the Blade Runner universe would be awesome.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was used as a springboard; the movie is loosely based on teh novel but doesn't quite take place in that world, and the game tried to mix the mythologies of the movie and the novel; in fact, one of the scenarios in the game is from the novel.

However, I think Cyberpunk is a little less recent than 1968 (when DADoES was published). Dick built other worlds that wer Cyberpunk before and after, but yes, a lot of his philosophies (government control and paranoia mixed with a dystopic pseudo-corporate future or present) are a major part of Cyberpunk, but Philip K Dick wasn't the only author doing it.

I personally think that Bladerunner should be left alone, to be honest, and I think that all other movies should be left alone, because devs just don't know how to make a good IP from that medium. I think maybe they should start looking at novels; a game based off of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, for example, would be far better.

The first Director's Cut isn't Ridley Scott's; he didn't have any say over the first one. The one coming up is his own vision of the movie and its story. I personally preferred the current Director's Cut over the original release cut.

Clive Barker....enough said.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

it could be oh so badass :D

Right. DADoES was the novel that inspired Bladerunner, but they're two very different entities.

I tend to agree with you that they should just leave it alone, but since I've already played and loved a video game based off Blade Runner, it leaves me wanting more. In my opinion, the point and click game did a very good job representing the movie faithfully. I reallyliked the fact that you didn't play Decker, but another Blade Runner named Ray McCoy. The story was very intriguing, and there were some very cool gameplay elements like using the Voight-Kampff testing machine and the (I don't remember what it's actually called) camera navigation computer.

So, I think as long as they faithfully stuck to the setting and atmosphere, but came up with a new, unique story, it would be an awesome game.

How about the godly "Deathproof" that was in theaters earlier? Daaamn that would rock.GodModeEnabled

Thay should make NONE. Games based on movies only destroy their reputation.hedral002

I disagree. Most of the time, you're right. But it really depends on how it's done. When a big blockbuster movie is due on in the movie theaters and they want to release a crossplatform game at the same time, it's pretty much a given that the game is going to suck. They're just trying to score some extra cash with movie-fever going around.

But in some cases, movie-based games can be really good and fun. I'm not a big fan of the series, but the Spider Man games seem to be successful. And, going with the movie we were talking about earlier in this thread, the Blade Runner game had no impact on the reputation of the movie. Infact, I went out and bought the Blade Runner DVD because the playing the game made me want to watch the movie.

the longest day... its aan old WW2 movie focusing on D-Day also maby its a mad mad mad mad world racing game
