I did not know th--

Hiroyuki Sanada as Hanzo Hasashi / Scorpion


The world's greatest working actor is playing Scorpion in a shitty but not shitty enough to be as good as MK Annihilation Mortal Kombat movie?

THAT'S AWESOME!

Fatal Frame was supposed to have a movie for years. It keeps getting delayed

The first time I saw the trailer for the first Saw I actually thought it was Fatal Frame at first due to the way the trailer starts. That gives an idea how long its been delayed

It's supposed to come out in just TWO MONTHS.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Hunter_(film)

I mean, there still hasn't been a trailer or anything, so I wouldn't be surprised if it gets delayed due to COVID, but filming wrapped in December 2018 so I'd assume that they'd be about done with VFX nearly two years later.

the thing is RE movies would still sell with other directors/actress. zombie movies + action is easy recipe for blockbuster.
and it would also not alienating the fans of the game characters either. reminder that all of the game characters depowered or died off screen because Mila J thought they will steal her spotlight.

Damn I totally forgot about that Monster Hunter movie. Has there even been a trailer for it?

Yeah that was similar to that animated Batman movie set in the Nolan Batman universe that had a few stories by different directors. But there was supposed to be a big budget live action movie. The director went onto make District 9 instead.

Fatal Frame. Yeah I know a Japanese one was eventually made but long before that Dreamworks wanted to make one.

Batista may single handedly will the Gears of War movie into existence.

Uncharted always has actors and directors attached and then it doesn't seem to go anywhere. Remember when it was Marky Mark?

Does Avi Arad still have the production rights to it or what ever? I remember in the early 2010's almost every video game movie adaptation had him attached in some capacity and almost every movie was on indefinite hold.

Yes he is attached.

However this movie was happening. It was filming. It started filming in Match 2020. Sadly thats the problem, when and if filming will continue. I wonder how many films that were filming when the virus hit will quietly die. Especially the ones very early in development.

And the movie has a good director attached. Ruben Fleischer so it actually had potentual.

The Ratchet and Clank movie bombed right? I'm guessing that was related.

https://www.slashfilm.com/producer-avi-arad-says-uncharted-movie-will-hit-first-followed-by-metal-gear-solid-and-mass-effect/

A ton of major video games are currently being developed in Hollywood. Just recently, Watch Dogs got started, we saw test footage from Warcraft and heard about Gran Turismo coming to life. Looking back further, games based on Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid and Mass Effect have been bubbling for several years. However, despite a few close calls, it doesnt feel like any of them are closer to coming to the big screen.
Thats not the case, says producer Avi Arad. The man best known for producing the Spider-Man movies also has a big hand in producing those last three franchises. In a new interview, he offered up significant updates on them all. He says Uncharted will probably come first and that Metal Gear Solid is probably three years away. Though hes had the Mass Effect rights since 2008, that one would likely come after the first two.

Yeah...geez...I mean I don't have anything against the guy but I got the feeling he just snatched every video game IP he could to make sure no one else was going to profit of them and then just shelved them; like how Gearbox made minimal progress on Aliens:colonial marines for years just to keep the title and get funding until Sega told them they needed to shit or get of the pot.

I guess getting nothing is better than getting an Uwe Boll video game movie adaptation...at least we are getting news about progress on Uncharted after almost a decade of nothing >.>

They get announced way too early to generate buzz in order to use that in budget negotiations btw. Video game movies have such a terrible stigma that filmmakers have to basically lie in order to get a budget.
