The people who made 300, Beerfest, Ant Bully amongst others have recently released on there website a film under development. That film is looking like a movie based around the legendary video game Diablo. That is right, Legendary Films are going to release a movie based upon the Diablo game franchise.
According to /Film they are also going to be releasing an adaption of World of Warcraft, which would get a lot of a fan base as Blizzard have really done an excellent job at building a Trekkie like following / cult towards WoW. Although both films do not sound like keepers as I didn’t really like Doom which was also a video game adaption.
The next item I am gonna address is the possibility of a Halo movie. Fox has licensed the right to market products on behalf of the computer giant Microsoft. 20th Century Fox will release an array of merchandise on behalf of Microsoft and take care of all that fuss until the fourth game in the Halo line is released.
I think after Fox sweetens the relationship with Microsoft they will put all they have into getting the merchandise sold and that will hopefully make Microsoft like Fox more and more, then the fourth game will be released and BAM Fox will want movie rights, I can see it right now, all in my head.
Think about it, it would be a corny movie but Halo just has that following, like WoW and Star Trek, which could make it rake it in at the BO, that is what gives these games the edge that legitimate film makers face every day. They already have the fan base that if they were to launch into a line of goods or a movie, they would already be guaranteed a smidgen of success.
