Actually, I was thinking... (Gaming)

In my opinion, the best games to adapt would be:

1. Games that lack the visual fidelity of film language.
2. Games with good stories based on more than just physical conflict (although that can be an element).
3. Games that don't really have business being games in the first place.

4. Don’t adapt the game’s story, build a new story in the same universe or otherwise build around the game’s story.

A Halo movie could, for example, focus on Sgt Johnson and only tangentially intersect with the Master Chief’s story.

I was thinking about this. And I feel like Borderlands would be a crazy cool movie. There is so much opportunity to create a completely different set of characters with a new valt. The game is also about the characters, it's built around the struggle of the characters to get to the vault. So you can run with that anyway you like. And oh man you could have so much fun with costumes and actors.

Now I want this movie :D
