"Dreamworks will be making a film based on Tecmo's Fatal Frame, which will be about a haunted mansion.....

"Variety reports that DreamWorks has hired writers Robert Fyvolent and Mark R. Brinker to adapt the bestselling video game Fatal Frame into the first film of an intended horror franchise, with The Core writer John Rogers onboard in his feature-producing bow."

"Frame, released last spring by Japanese publisher Tecmo, revolves around a woman's search for her missing brother. This leads her to a haunted mansion, armed only with an antique camera that lets her see ghosts."

"DreamWorks acquired the rights to the game last year. Fyvolent and Brinker previously penned Streaming Evil, which sold to Screen Gems. They also are working on the thriller 27 for producers Michael Birnbaum and Cindy Cowan." "

Writers: "We've taken a few creative liberties. Whereas in the game the main character was a young girl who was alone, trying to find her brother. In our movie, she's a ass kickin' ex model trying to uncover a secret cult of sexy vampires with her wise cracking male non-boyfriend (Matt Daiman) and her cautious black buddy (who will die halfway through the movie).

Oh, the movie will be scary, and not in a good way.

PLEASE Hollywood stop trying to make movies of videogames!

My theory:

When they started making movies based on comics they REALLY sucked, that's because those incharge had no clue what made the characters special.

Basically long story short. Comic movies don't suck as often as they used to because people who know comics are now working on them... I assume once people who grew up on videogames and know what Street Fighter and Mario Brothers are really about start making movies we'll see some great games-to-film instead of the mediocre and awful ones we see now.

If they can do it justice, then I'm all for it. I'd still much rather see a System Shock 2 movie though. :(

Really hope you're right Dr, cause right now I'm feeling exactly like Rid....

The problem with the nature of game movies, though, is not really lack of knowledge (Though it is a big cause of a lot of bad movies). It's the fact the interactive nature of some games don't transfer over well to a passive medium like films.

Now some games do have the strong story needed for a movie, but some are so gameplay heavy that they should never be used to make a movie (See Mario Brothers....)

There were more problems with Mario Brothers then it being based on an action game like:

-it should have been animated (it's not like they had any major stars in it... or at least ones so major it would matter if you hid them behind a layer of cel-paint and watercolors)

-it should have focused on Mario and Peach (not Luigi and Daisy)

-Characters should have looked like they do in the games (Now I'm not trying to be like a comic fanboy, but when your character fights a GIANT DRAGON you'd think that would be the perfect villian rather then Donald Trump who evolved from a T-Rex)

-less focus on "Dinosaurs" (I mean sure, Mario, Luigi, and Peach visited "Dinosaurs Land" in Mario World... but dinosaurs were NEVER Mario's focus)

-more "medieval" based setting then "post-apocolypic future" setting would have been truer to the storyline. (but then we loose the whole "alternate warp-whole linked world" theme)

I could go on and on... but my point is, Mario Brothers might not have an epic plot like MGS, but it does have it's own story. Staying closer to what is actually in the games might not have made it a great movie, but it would have made it better then the piece of junk we got. (like Fatal Fury the motion picture I guess... sure none of the is IN the games, but it follows what one would expect Terry and friends to do so it's tollerable)

A game doesn't need an epic plot to be made into a movie, just a well devloped one so it can be carried over to film well...

Though I do have to admit that your ideas would of made for a better film, well better than the god awfull one we got. Especially if they played up Mario being in a strange land (In an Alice In Wonderland type fashion).

Sometimes, plots are so generic that they didn't really need the game license at all.

Hmmmm...of couse..this gaming-remake-fever is quite disgusting but...at least this time is DreamWorks the company who's gonna produce the movie...The Dreamworks remake of The Ring wasn't TOO bad...imo.

Btw...I think Japan's film factory is guilty too. Almost any cool anime/game franchise is ported to the big screen :/ (No mentions about Parasite Eve movie ^^;;;)uu

Heck, the anime industry has turned out quite a few bad game anime too. One look at Art of Fighting and the first Samurai Showdown anime will show they can goof it up as bad as hollywood can...
