Comics are pretty much exhausted and classic movie rehashes are pretty lame.

Its been tried a bit in the past but I think it will take off more in the near future.

Is been tried non-stop, but almost always really poorly done. Like either cheaply produced or made by someone who knows literally nothing about the source material.

I dunno didn't this not end well for Halo?

Although card games might be interesting with that Magic: the Gathering Netflix series coming soon.

I also wouln't mind seeing a Final Fantasy series as long as they don't fuck it up like the movies.

With the gaming community being the way it is if you don't get a screenwriter and director who actually enjoy games or are gamers themselves video game movies will almost always be bad.

I don't expect a 100% accurate recreation of the game into film but if you stray really far from the source material then what is really the point?

How many years has it been since people kept saying comic book movies are dead? Its been a decade now right? Still not dead.

No, it won't. It's never gone well, nor will it. If you can write a story that works for movies/TV, then you'll do that. Video game stories almost always exist purely to move the gameplay forward, and in the rare instances where they're actually good, it's because they were lifted from a book or something that came first.

I dunno. People liked Castlevania.

If Detective Pikachu couldn't even crack half a billion in the box office what else could?

Showtime are currently developing a Halo TV series actually. It'll be interesting to see how that turns out.
