    I’m not a huge video game fan but was watching a friend play Dantes Inferno recently and thought it would make a fantastic film!

    For some reason I can see someone like Daniel Craig playing Dante – solid and dependable but willing to act and pass judgement.

    I love Gemma Arterton as an actress so she’d have to come back and do this film as well!

    @AetharaGirl

    I would love to see metal gear solid made into a film the would be amazing. Not sure who would play snake though

  3. ecco the dolphin starring flipper :)

  4. Jade says:

    I’d love to see Red Dead Redemption made into a movie, set in the old Wild West and starring Timothy Olyphant as John Marston, a former outlaw.

    Olyphant definitely has what it takes to play Marston, with his roles in Deadwood and Justified proving he knows how to pull a gun from a holster whilst oozing cool, he’s perfect for the role :)

  5. andrea caizley (@andiecaz) says:

    i`d like a new flash gordon with Zac Efron as the man himself.

  6. Steve Johnson says:

    Metroid should definately be made into a film, with the leading heroin being Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim / Death Proof). Sure, it might be fairly similar to the first Alien film, but with all of the new special effects possible these days, it could be one very beautiful environment after another. Besides, there aren’t enough female action heroes getting screen time these days. Bring on Mother Brain!

  7. hannah evans says:

    @FruityTutti Definitely Mario-kart – it could be a kids film with Elijah Wood playing Mario!

  8. Laura Varley says:

    @rocketminx Uncharted <3

  9. evic says:

    Contra would be cool

    They are a little old now but Lundgren & Stallone would have been good.

  10. I’d like to see Fallout 3 made into a movie and I think Liam Neeson should play the dad and Jason Statham should play the main character.

  11. twitter-robpw2
    i think sonic and kcuckles should me made into a film next and jedward with their hair should play them

  12. Gemma says:

    When I was a kid I used to love playing Prince of Persia on my amstrad! It had a tape deck and everything!

    I think Heavenly Sword should be converted into a movie. Nariko should be played by Isla Fisher? Hmmm, perhaps too homely….maybe Lindsay Lohan or Laura Prepon?

  13. Gemma says:

    and I forgot…. @gemsie0404

  14. Eric says:

    Warcraft is a must. I understand they are already working on it. Let’s hope they don’t murder it like they did with The Last Airbender.

  15. Riaz says:

    Twitter: rgovalia
    GTA would be good.

  16. Cheryl W. says:

    Definitely Legend of Zelda starring Daniel Ratcliff.

    @HeartnSoulmom

  17. Kyle says:

    I’d like to see Portal or Team Fortress 2
    @TwoKyool

  18. Rebecca Jahnke says:

    How about Duke Nukem with UFC fighter Broxk Lesnar. I’m sure he isn’t much of an actor, but all the UFC fighters seem to be giving it a try lately and he would be perfect as Duke! @hairgirl1966

  19. Paul says:

    @TallPaul_

    I would like to see Killzone released as a film, a kind of sci fi futuristic shooter with a big guy as the star, but no actors come to mind, Vin Diesel is big but wouldn’t fit the game character very well.

  20. miss emma louise hogan says:

    Bioshock and jack should be played by Matt Damon @hulkster34

  21. Wendy McDonald says:

    I’d love to see Assassin’s Creed to be made into a film with Altair played by Channing Tatum. He would make a very fine feared assassin, deadly, charming, agile and fierce!!
    @wendymcd83

  22. Heavenly Sword – Angelina Jolie

  23. Heather Shaw says:

    Twitter @kiki_725

    I think Zelda would be good. The lead should be played by Shia LaBeouf <3

  24. Eric says:

    Assassin’s Creed would be a good call also.

  25. Jeannine m says:

    Well halo is in the works so I would go with Assains creed (@mellanhead on twitter)

  26. Jake says:

    Uncharted would make a good film, and I’m thinking Josh Duhamel as the star, he looks like Nathan. :)

    @Jake_Dickens

  27. Danielle P says:

    Okay this sounds weird but I would love a Super Mario movie.. How fun would that be
    @pontowd

  28. DanielCake says:

    @DanielCake

    I think I’d like to see a horror game taken to the big screen – Dead Space is rumoured though I’d have no idea who I’d want to play issac as all you see is the back of his head…

  29. Jamie says:

    dead space – done properly this would be something to stand alongside alien and the thing. no rushed or tailored for teens effort though please hollywood

  30. Raul says:

    With todays technology I think God of War would be fantastic and it would star Djimon Hounsou. The only way it would work is if it had avatars budget and talent working on the graphics.

    @AngryCuban is my twitter

  31. Geri says:

    Sim City, with Jim Carrey doing another Truman Show.

  32. shelly says:

    Army of Two – Arnie and Stallone.

  34. Shannon Schulte says:

    Kingdom hearts would be cool @sethandshannon1

  35. Ben Sweeney says:

    I would LOVE to see HALO, and the actor’s wouldn’t really amtter if Master Chief would keep his helmet on. But for the supporting cast, idk, good actors!

      I would love to see the fable games turned in to a movie.The main actor for me would have to be Bruce Campbell because he is so funny and would fit the bill nicely!!

  36. Amy W says:

    Follow on twitter & Rt @eko0724
    World at War- Nazi Zombies!!!!!!!!!!! Oh I can see this as a huge action adventure or even action/thriller movies! Stuck in a shack trying to get your way out, but all the while being attacked by Nazi Zombies!!!!!!! That would be too cool!
    Who would be in my movie? Jonathan rhys meyers, Ice Cube, Milla Jovovich (just because she looks badass kicking zombie ass) & Michelle Rodriguez!

  37. @Piperty says:

    Pokemon with Wrestlers as the Pokemon, and Keanu Reeves as Ash!

  48. Simone says:

    I see either Jake Gyllenhaal or Sam Witwer play the lead in Assasins Creed. Here you have a game with one hell of a storyline (conspiracies and all) and great action sequences. Definitely one of those two. If I really HAD to choose, I’d say Jake. Because he’s got the looks for it. Sam…already has The Force Unleashed…

    @simonevermeer

  49. Paula Virgo says:

    Professor Layton and the Curious Village with the gorgeous Hugh Laurie as Prof Layton x

  50. Tomas Becks says:

    Fallout should definately be made into a great movie. I liked The Book of Eli, which borrowed heavily from this game, but it can be done better!

    Cast:

    - Tom Hardy
    - Rutger Hauer
    - David Warner
    - Chloe Moretz
    - Naveen Andrews
    - Jamie Bamber
    - Allison Mack
    - Mary McDonnell
    - Steve Coogan
    - Simon Pegg

    @flyingfresian on twitter :D

    I would love to see my favourite game of all time – Okami – made into a movie. The trouble is that it stars a wolf and a bug, so you would have to get voiceover artists instead of lead actors! I would have someone like Joe Pesci as the high-pitched irritating bug (!) and the wolf would be Leonardo Dicaprio.

    Duke Nukem! Jean Claude Van Damme in his youth
