What video game would be great as a movie?

[Heroine of the Dragon]

...who would you like to see fill the main roles?

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

It's too easy to point at anything already relatively cinematic such as Metal Gear, even stuff like Metroid. I want to see them take a crack at Star Fox. There's just enough story to work with but most of it is battle quips and pretty basic exposition. A good writer might make something special out of it, and I'd be curious to see how they'd handle the non-combat scenes, fans seem to throw a fit whenever Star Fox isn't in his Arwing unless it's in Smash Bros.

Another interesting one might be Earthbound but it's so video game-y I just don't know how exactly it could work. Mother 3 would be easier though, so maybe start there.

Flint could be played by Liam Nelson maybe? He's got a pretty good range, he's a tough guy but can put in the emotion too. And if he can act alongside Jar Jar then he can do anything. The rest could really be played by anyone imo.

Baldur's Gate, but I'd prefer it as a two or three-part animated deal. Preferably based on the original games, and not the expansion packs and all that. If at all possible, use the original voice cast, with some changes as appropriate or necessary.

In the case of a live action adaptation, I want to say the following would be good choices...

Spoiler.

Gorion: Jeff Bridges
Eldoth Kron: Rob McElhenney
Garrick: Ryan Gosling
Imoen: Milana Vayntrub
Jaheira: Paula Patton
Minsc: Dave Bautista
Voice of Boo: Frank Welker
Quayle: Danny Woodburn
Skie Silvershield: Anna Van Hooft -- She's got the presence, having played rich people in the past, but it might also be fun to see her act like a total dingbat, much like Skie tends to be...
Tamoko: Haruka Ayase -- Here with more of a spine, and absolutely terrifying, as befitting someone that Sarevok would be in love with!
Tiax: Danny DeVito
Xzar: Rob Zombie

Gorion's Ward... well, leave that up to the producers. I'd go for a human, personally.

^^Earthbound would make a great miniseries. In fact, I'd love to adapt the entire Mother trilogy as a trio of miniseries.

I've said it before & I'll say it again: Eternal Darkness.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

[Heroine of the Dragon]

I was thinking making "L.A Noire" into a movie might work... but I wouldn't have a clue of who to recommend for main roles!!

[Mario500]

(imagines an animated movie (with two-dimensional drawings or designs) based on certain Nester's Funky Bowling game and certain cartoons involving a certain character named "Nester" for certain books (related to video games) named "Nintendo Power" in response to this question)
