Game-Movie Onslaught!

With films based on movies like DOOM, Silent Hill, BloodRayne, and many more already released, why would we want more? But Hollywood's trend of plucking picture ideas from the gaming industry is showing no signs of slowing. Just take a look how many game-movies are in the works!: Halo: Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh will serve as executive producers of the Halo movie! This one has a chance of being good, the duo grabbed three Academy Awards for the LOTR movies and the King Kong remake was a winner as well. Resident Evil: Extinction: The third film adaptation of Capcom's survival horror series. Director Paul W.S. Anderson, famous for adapting videogames to film (he directed the first Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat and Alien vs. Predator ). Castlevania: Paul W.S.

Anderson is still filming Resident Evil: Extinction. DOA: Dead or Alive is coming, and it looks BAAAAD. Think Kill Bill cloning, a lil Charlie's Angels, and some Beach Volleyball... you get the picture. The film stars Jaime Pressly (Not Another Teen Movie), Holly Valance, Devon Aoki (Sin City, 2 Fast 2 Furious), Sarah Carter (Final Destination 2), Kane Kosugi (Godzilla: Final Wars), Natassia Malthe (Elektra), Matthew Marsden (Black Hawk Down) and Eric Roberts (National Security, Spun).

Postal: Running With Scissors has announced that it has signed a deal with Uwe Boll to create a Postal movie. Uwe Boll's record for converting games to movies is widely ridiculed within the games and movie industries, but he'd punch ya if he heard you saying anything negative.

And you've gotta love Running With Scissors, they even sponsor their own Mixed Martial Artists (MMA) team known as "Team POSTAL"! Driver: Driver "centers on a getaway driver for hire, the best in the heist biz, who is put to the test on a job."

Currently, the script is being worked upon. As soon as it's finished, pre-production will kick in. Tomb Raider III: Brangelina is back!
