This post is from one of several previous incarnations of this site and probably doesn’t quite fit the current format. In a former life this was a group blog and a tumblelog before it became a static jekyll site. If anything looks broken or is worded oddly that could be why. Pardon the dust.
Yet another mediocre excuse for a game-based film is on it’s way in the form of Resident Evil: Ground Zero, directed by Paul “Mortal Kombat, Event Horizon” Anderson. But think of what could have been! R.E. was once to be scripted by king of undead-horror himself George A. Romero and you can even read the script that they callously threw away.
So will there ever be a good game-movie? Of course not! Games that appeal to hollywood are invariably based on movies in the first place so by the time the idea has come full circle any last interesting elements are bound to have been sapped out of it. Resident Evil is Day of the Dead, Tomb Raider is Indiana Jones and Super Mario Bros. .. well there’s no real excuse for that one.
