10 Scrapped Video Game Movies We're Still Dying To See
We're often so busy complaining about the terrible video game movie adaptations that have been made, that we forget about the good ones still on the horizon...as well as those potentially brilliant projects which are suddenly scrapped out of nowhere. Hollywood is an industry crying out for some new creative juices, and yet, they still seem rather reluctant to fully give in to the video game medium as they have comic books, likely because most video game adaptations to date have been inane, nonsensical flops which are either too reverent to the game to the point of lunacy, or not faithful enough. Script is key, and 9 times out of 10, these movies fail for that reason. But what about those brilliant, inherently cinematic video games which would so clearly make for great movies?
