2004-01-25 16:57:15 Games turning to movies? (games,movies) (rejected)
rastakid writes "Sometimes we see movies turning to games, either based on books or not, some well-known examples: The Matrix, James Bond GoldenEye (and other James Bond Movies), X-Men, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Sum of all Fears and others. On rarer occassions we see the opposite: games turning to movies, with the most known examples being: Tomb Raider, Alone in the Dark (work in progress) and last summer's rumours about Half-Life The Movie. Now my question to the Slashdot crowd: which games do you think should be filmed? What about Duke Nukem or Commander Keen? And what are the minimum demands to let a game get to the big screen, like: may the story be altered a bit?"
Okay, maybe it's time to stop submitting stories for Slashdot. I think Slashdot grew to large over the years, and the time it takes to submit a story doesn't outweigh the profits. I'm currently at 9 submitted stories, from which 0 (yes, zero) stories were accepted. I admit, there may be a couple of them just not news-worthy enough (as if Slashdot features purely news, but that aside), but some of them were certainly worth it to get accepted. Maybe not for the frontpage, but still.. Please give me your feedback on this.
