HTLI writes: Virtually all movies made from games are awful, says Rockstar Games Dan Houser. Hes not wrong. Hollywood has tried many times to adapt popular video game series for the silver screen, and a glance down the list of titles Tomb Raider; Super Mario Bros.; Doom; Resident Evil shows that they have yet to succeed. Even Peter Jackson was stumped; his attempt to produce a Halo movie with Alex Garland writing and Neill Blomkamp directing came to nothing (though we should be grateful, since the collaboration between Jackson and Blomkamp gave us District 9). So why have we yet to see a genuinely great video game movie?
