10 Video Game Movies We Actually Want To See
10. Bully
This game was a controversial title that was unfairly treated by the press for its "glorification of bullying" and "excessive violence".
Anyone who has played it will know that this is not an accurate depiction of the title's narrative or gameplay. Bully was never about glorifying horrible acts. It was a fun exploration of over the top school stereotypes and general misbehaving antics in a setting where the consequences aren't too significant.
As an avenue to participate in bad behaviour, this title was masterful, and an adaptation of the Rockstar IP could help viewers to live vicariously through the protagonist. A film centred around Bullworth Academy would deliver a chance at creating a comedy that works for everyone. By poking fun at the school system, it would appeal to both a young and nostalgic audience.
The humour and storyline in the game were fantastic, but the film could take the concept and run with it in any direction. Creating a fun exploration of a boarding school with a troublesome teen as the lead causing mayhem and generally having a good time should be the producers main goal. So long as it captured the outlandish nature of the source material, then it would be an entertaining film.
