Diablo Movie in Development

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=21095

"The official Legendary Pictureswebsite is listing a Diablomovie as being in development along with such projects as World of Warcraft, Clash of the Titans and the Superman Returns sequel.

The dark fantasy action-adventure game was released by Blizzard Entertainment in December of 1996. Set in the fictional Kingdom of Khanduras, Diablo has the player take control of a lone hero as he or she battles to rid the town of Tristram of the titular Lord of Terror and his demon minions.

An expansion pack, titled "Diablo: Hellfire," was released in 1997, followed by a sequel, "Diablo II," in 2000."

Eh, I'll care when I see a video game movie that's actually good. When the vast majority of them have been horrible (I only enjoy "Mortal Kombat" and even it's a piece of crap), it's hard to get excited about a movie based on a video game.

I bet money that it'll wind up like the Splinter Cell, Metroid, and Max Payne films. It'll enter the very first stages of production, and then vanish off of the face of the earth, never to be heard from again.Verge_6

I wouldn't be surprised if that happened lol.

Just a question of if such a movie either ends up like the Mario Bros movie, or Spiderman.RahnAetas

Yeah, good point!

Unless Uwe Boll gets a hold of it. And if that's ever the case, it's better off fading into nothing.

The Super Mario Bros. movie is one of my favourate movies, why does everybody hate on it :(

To quote Nintendo Power, there is only one good thing about it: it's only 90 minutes long.

What's wrong with it? One, Mario isn't a good idea for a live action film. Two, they completely butchered the Mario world because of reason number one. Seriously, the Mushroom Kingdom is a rotting cyberpunk city full of dinosaur people? Bowser is a t-rex who evolved into Dennis Hopper? Really? Iggy and Spike are two dimwitted guys with bad hair cuts? Goomba's are weird lizard/mutated man things wearing boots and trench-coats? Toad gets turned into a Goomba!?

See where I'm going with this? It was a bad idea that should have never made it past the drawing board. It should have been a animated movie from the word go.
