Fro Game Informer mag:
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will get another chance to practice that thing he calls "acting" in a film adaptation of Midway's arcade classic/Playstation 2 title, Spy Hunter. Universal Pictures and Daybreak Productions have signed up the license, and expect the movie to be ready for Christmas of 2003. At the moment, neither a writer nor a director has been assigned to the project, but the budget is expected to be over $100 million.
The Rock will play a former F-15 pilot named Alec Sects who has been employed by the international Espionage Services to take down the evil, wannabe-world dominators known as Nostra. It goes on to talk about that the majority of the budget will be spent on the car blah blah blah...
As for Midway, a movie tie-in video game is already in its sights. Spy Hunter 2's release should coincide with the film at the end of next year.
In other video game movie news, Rockstar's State of Emergency title has been picked up by New Line Cinema. No actors, writers, or directors have been assigned to the project yet.I dont know....if they do the spy hunter movie right....it could be big.

Movies based on Tekken and Dragonball Z will also be produced soon, and they will not be animated. LIVE ACTION anime films. its seems like a bad idea.

Remember when people wrote movies that weren't sequels or based on something that parents tossed to the sugar-crazed kids they never really wanted? Yeah, neither do I...

I agree...and I'm sure they'l have him interacting with a chick whose mechanically inclined and fixed the car every time he drives up into the truck.

But then again, that might just be my love for Knight Rider talking...

And there's no doubt that the boat level will be tough.

Deus Ex and Fatal Frame are in development, the former being handled by people involved with the recent Spiderman movie, and the latter being developed by Steven Spielberg's production company, Dreamworks SKG. Studios are fighting over Metal Gear Solid and Grand Theft Auto as well.

I dunno, a lot of movies based on video games have been horrible. Street Fighter sucked, Resident Evil was a complete cluster-fuck. The first Mortal Kombat was par. Do I even need to mention Super Mario Brothers??

Tomb Raider had the chance to be something, but it was obvious the writer had no idea what the game was all about.

See with Spy Hunter...the game is just driving...all they need to do is write a spy movie involving the car and it would be fine.

Lets hope they dont shit the bed on this one.

video games should stay off the
big screen and on my tv! The
writers have no clues, plus who
wants to see your favorite comic
played by some lame ass
hollywood actor or actress?

With any luck they'll assign a competent writer and consult with the game producers on the script as well. Deus Ex had a great story, so I would think they'd have to focus on that at least as a basis...

Yeah, game to film transitions have been atrocious in the past.

Fuck that, ever since i played that game i have made it my life goal to make it. If any fucking cocksuckers make it and screw it up they'll fucking pay. That could be an oscar contention movie if it was done right. Some dumb fucks are going to fuck it up and make it as good as TOMB RADIER (maybe the worst movie of all time). I'll have rallies against it if i have too. If this game is ever made into a movie it will be by me or a TRUE FAN OF THE SERIES. Not some fucking studio who never played it. Fuck Hollywood.

But the game never truly did end, did it? It would just keep going and going and going nonstop. That's what bothered me about it.

Gene Hackman is a L shaped man on a mission.

Jennifer Love hewitt is the stright block he loves, but cannot have.

And Kevin Bacon is the one weird block that doesn't fit ANYWHERE! IN:

Rated R. This movie contains scenes of graphic Block dropping.

In other news:

-- Konami has bought the rights to produce the game scheduled to come out this Christmas Season, "American Beauty".

Guide Lester Burnham through the town, finding clues on where to find his wife having an affair, at the same time you must beware of Gay Colonel Frank Fitts. He stalks you the entire time, and will deliver the kiss of death...literally !!

HOLY SHIT, I thought I was the only one who remembered that show.

That aired WAY back in the day (a decade or more ago) on the Family Channel, if I'm not mistaken.

The show did kind of suck, since it had very little in common with the game - which KICKED ASS on the old NES system.

I need a ROM of that one.
