An intricate ploy to launch another line of Pac Man video games.
I can't believe this...

Yeah, I just read about this not too long ago. Supposedly, it's going to be live action. O_o

I would love to see a Tekken movie :D and PacMan should be... interesting.
Video games have had a mixed record at the box office from disappointments like Street Fighter and Super Mario Bros to hits including Mortal Kombat, Tomb Raider and Resident Evil.
Mortal Kombat was a success? o_O

Notice how it had no description of what the movie will actually be about? Heh, methinks even they know it's going to be a pile.
And Mortal Kombat had less flaws than Resident Evil, and made more money, I think. It actually was entertaining, unlike Resident Imbicile.

It was a pretty big success. Wasnt made for much, made a fair bit, and is reguarded as one of the better Game-Film adaptations.

Mortal Kombat was a big hit. I remember back when I used to take karate, every belt test was followed by a celebration, during which we'd play dodge ball inside, have video game fighting tournaments, and watch Mortal Kombat. The kids never got sick of it.

Mortal Kombat was a success? o_O Yes, it was. I rather liked it, at the time.
Moreover, I thought Resident Evil is the best videogame movie ever made.

Mortal Kombat and TOmb Raider are the only good ones I remember. Not seen RE.

Resident Evil is great.

I haven't seen Tomb Raider, so I'll zip my lips but my instinct says arrrgggg kill me.
RE was suprisingly not sucky. Better than most horror flicks by a long shot. And the commentaries are hillarious.

Tomb Raider was pretty close to "arrrrgh kill me." ;)
RE = I thought it was pretty good. :) Didn't get to hear the commentaries :(

Resident Evil, was, ugh.
I pray I never have to see it again. Awful awful awful...
But, this is also the guy who hated Insomnia and The Thin Red Line.

I was so looking forward to Tomb Raider, but left feeling disappointed in a movie like I haven't felt since.

Pac Man should never be made into a movie, that is stupid. As far as Game movies Mortal Kombat is the best (it made about 90 million and about 200 WW) after that well Tomb Raider was okay (I am not big into the games so its hard for me to judge) I enjoyed parts of RE but I was still upset that they didn't have a single character from the game (there was kind of an exception that computer the Red Queen, the model was Sherry from RE 2, and they also mentioned the scientist who became a monster in 2). Also the final battle with the Licker just really didn't excite me, because in the games the Lickers were tough but were nothing as hard as being a final villain, they should have used a Tyrant. Hopefully the Sequel will be better since they are basing this one off RE 3, they are even go to have Jill in it (have no clue how they will work the stories of Re 1 in with the movie, was there another mansion that had Zombies??).

I enjoyed parts of RE but I was still upset that they didn't have a single character from the gameThat seems to be everyone's gripe with the movie. Personally, that didn't bother me at all - if it followed the story from one of the games, I don't think it would have been nearly as interesting. Instead, they set it up as more of a prequel to RE. They also took a few liberties - which turned out well, IMO.
It wasn't supposed to be a direct port of any of the games. Instead, it was a story set in the RE universe which alluded to the games. The scene with the Licker on the ceiling was a really great homage to RE2.
And I think a Licker would be a problem for someone who's completely out of ammo. ;)

True it would be impossible. Still the train scene did resemble the end of RE 2 though the Licker was no match to that huge blob like monster coming at Leon and Claire. As far as RE 1 characters, well I would have kept the movie focused on RE1 but change half the story. It looks like they will be doing that with Nemesis or the second film, they are including Jill and Carlos and the Nemesis is going to be the film's main bad guy, not sure how they are going to fit Alice into that but I am sure they will come up with something. I would love to see cameo's by Leon or Claire but that would be tough to work out, unless Alice goes to the Police Station.

Buckner and Garcia did 'Pac-Man Fever'. Boomerang will carry the old Pac-man cartoon starting in January. :p
