Epic fail: movies that should never, ever be video games

Seriously, we mean it

Hollywood’s relationship with video games goes both ways.

Studios look to games, like “Max Payne,” as inspiration for new film franchises, while game companies collaborate with Hollywood on turning beloved properties like James Bond and Spider-Man into instantly recognizable, and sometimes even good, games. But for every movie that seems like a no-brainer for the console treatment, there are many more that should be avoided at all costs.

In an effort to beat greedy developers to the punch, we’ve compiled a list of ten movies that we never, ever, want to see turned in to games. —Drew Tewksbury, Special to Metromix
