I was sat painting up a Wolfen model last night for a forth coming Dogs of War campaign at my gaming club. Whilst doing this my mind was wandering all over the place and then rested on how much it looked like the Werewolves in Dog Soldiers. This then made me wonder how cool it would be to see Wolfen in a C3 movie... this then leads to my question. Which other gaming system do you think would make a good movie?

Maybe Gothic, who dosent like huge epic spaceship battles with boarding actions and laser beams.

Anything with special characters.

Of course, I push for Warmachine, but I can see a game movie based off
Necromunda or even Mordheim.

Flames of War. Oh wait...

Macho Women with Guns

F.A.T.A.L.

Go.

Blood Bowl. Definitely Blood Bowl.

Make it mildly campy in it's direction, ala A Knights Tale.

For the soundtrack, adapt various songs. Bloodbowl Wizard, (that deaf dumb and blind Elf, sure plays a mean Bloodbowl) Bloodbowl Blitz (and the coach up the back said everyone attack and it turned into a Bloodbowl blitz).

The system and setting are perfect as to my knowledge, a Fantasy Set Sports Film has never been done before! And it would seriously kick arse at the Box office, as it's accesible to the man in the street, and not just geeks and hardcore fans.

Mutant Chronicles.

Terra Unification Wars

Not yet released, but should damn well be developed and released!

Lets go back to the primitive!

Infinity would make an awesome film setting.....but only if it was handled by the right people.

Mass Effect would also make a seriously good film setting.

Battle-Tech would be off the wall...

Shadowrun...now how about that

HALO.....now, I've heard this will soon be a movie, but how cool is that gonna be?

Sorry skip, HALO was cancelled. Kind of became District 9 in the end.

I heard Halo was cancelled...but also heard post-ODST release, that they were reconsidering it....

Like my life everyday...I question which angle is the true one.....if any LOL

Personally, I think the below pic is the only viable way to go with a 'movie'....hahahahaha....

The Sega Master System, obviously.
Failing that, Colecovision. Nintendo already did it with The Wizard, after all.

If someone could find some space corridors and maybe some industrial towers, Space Hulk would make an awesome movie about a bunch of outnumbered marines fighting a hideous horde of monsters.

Add a few civilians and a feisty female heroine and you could have a winner!

Definitely GorkaMorka. The movie could start in a washed out, post-apocalyptic land, with small gangs of survivors holed up in forts made of scrap, fighting over fuel. The main character could drive a really suped-up buggy, the last of the V8 int....er.... nm.

Baring that, Mordheim, Necromunda, and Bloodbowl would also make for great movies.

Any of the GW Skirmish games or Heavy Gear.

Judging by the cut-scenes in the HG computer games - which were the equal of (if not better) than the Dune2000 cutscenes, I vote for this also.

Roar of the Lion:
The story of the Lord Cypher :-P

I say Mordheim. It's like post-apocalypse meets fantasy.

Necromunda would be good, as would a decent Battletech movie.

Battletech is harder though, due to the ridiculous story. It is hard to determine what history to put in and what to leave out for the lay-person.

Crimson Skies would make for a GREAT movie. And NOT "Sky Captain and the Heinous Awful."

I would watch a Gothic movie.

I think that new game Malifaux would make a great film, it's got everything:

Magic, guns, crazy beasts, hot women and zombie hookers!

Damn, beat me to it and with the exact same wording.

imo... the metal gear franchise would make a pretty kickin movie

i think that a WHFB movie would get too easily confused (by the uneducated) with LotR.

barring MGS movies, a nice mockumentary about guitar hero would be just swell

Lord of the Rings. Actually, hang on a second....

Mordheim or Necromunda... I'd be leaning towards Necromunda, though.

Also Inquisitor. That would be awesome. I loved the Eisenhorn Trilogy and always thought it would be amazing to have that kind of movie. It's like a 40k mystery.... ooooo!!!

I love it when Atheists go public! Woo!

Hmm...perhaps an equally interesting question. What movies would make a good gaming system.

Darwin's World
