10 Upcoming Movies That Have Already Ignored Massive Mistakes

10. Video Game Movies Don't Work - Warcraft

The Lesson: 99% Of The Genre If you did something 100 times and it only worked once, you'd probably assume that something was fundamentally wrong with the approach, and even consider avoid doing it altogether. Such a thought seems to have barely occurred to any of the many, many good film-makers who have turned video games into movies. Despite the stark majority of all video game adaptations meeting intense criticism or simply failing to get off the ground entirely, the genre endures. The next big landmark on that particular map comes fro Duncan Jones - a hugely talented film-maker - who seems to have ignored all precedent in the perhaps vain assumption that he can do what hundreds others have failed to, and who is in the process of making Warcraft. It is a fool's gambit: no matter how strong the cast, or the ability of the director, the likely outcome will either be a failure in terms of quality, or a betrayal of the subject matter: a travesty in video game fans' eyes. Either way, the success margin is remarkably small.
