I'm doing a presentation next week about movies based on video games, and I'm having a bit of trouble finding a complete list. Does anyone know where I can find one?

Mario Brothers, Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark (Coming Soon), Bloodrayne (Coming Soon), Tomb Raide, Wing Commander, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (If it counts, though it wasn't a game adaptation), Street Fighter, and Double Dragon.
I don't think I missed any, but if I did, someone mention it. Also, there are anime movie adaptations of some games, if that matters.

Oh, and I didn't mention things like Dungeon Seige, Far Cry, Silent Hill, etc. because those haven't gone into production yet.

Did they cancel Fatal Frame? Because I saw a trailor like, "omgz scary," but it was Grudge. :(

I also forgot Spy Hunter, which should be out at some point.
Everything I've named though are all the game-to-movies that are ALREADY out, and Alone in the Dark will be out by next month.

Yeah, but that one didn't really originate from a video game.
Thanks, people. This will help a lot. :)

well, technically you could say alien vs. predator was based on a game, since there were two games called alien vs. predator

Yeah, but they are based on the movies, and the idea of a movie crossover was around for some time before the games came out.

I wish it wasn't.

Parasite eve is one you missed also.

That was an adaptation of the book, in which the game was loosely based on.
Christ, doesn't ANYONE read my reviews?

No, they're not.

Oh god no... (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407989/)

The problem is IMDB is updated on user-based information. There is no Metroid movie in the words. There was talk that someone had bought the rights, but they didn't. It's a long story that I'd have to find the reports for, but there are is nothing set for a Metroid movie.

Yeah, they did. But then again, someone's got the Pacman movie rights. Doesn't mean it will be made.
