Spider-Man and X-men had some huge changes that the internetz in an uproar, (biological webbing in Spidey and different costumes/origins in x-men), that didn’t always produce bad movies. I think it’s safer to expect movie adaptations to be a departure from their source material and better to reserve judgment with the final product. We may be pleasantly surprised!

knossis makes my point, i never said they couldn’t do an adventure movie. I was saying that they couldn’t portray these characters the way the source material presents them. I said that it would be somthing else etirely and don’t see a point in calling it Uncharted when it will be a completely different movie. DiNero plays DiNero and Pesci is always Pesci.

I don’t know Anthony…De Niro pretty much plays De Niro (except for maybe in The Mission) and Pesci always plays Pesci. Even in Meet the Parents Focker or what ever De Niro is still De Niro. I would think De Niro would play Sully but I keep hearing the voice actor in the game and I don’t think De Niro could pull that off. De Niro could pull off the look though. I don’t know who Pesci would play maybe a bad guy or something. Walhberg is not Drake end of story.

easy mistake to make ;-)

Damn! You’re right. I even wrote “Sonny” in my reply and I too played both games and known his name is Sully. I do have a Uncle Sonny which Sully reminds me of so maybe that’s why I didn’t catch it. Good Eye’s though.

Wow, you’ve seen every Wahlberg, De Niro, and Pesci movie and don’t think they can pull off an adventure flick? Seriously? I think ANY of their filmographies show how diverse they can be. Absurd is a bit harsh.

thanks for the ‘Sully’ fix!

In my opinion comic books and video games are different source materials. Comic books are a story driven media were video games are gameplay driven. Comics lend themselves well to being adapted to movies because they are character and story driven just as movies are. There are games that have some great story elements (not that many though)but the story isn’t the focus the gameplay is. When most studio’s acquire rights to a game they have to try and built up not only the story but the character’s as well. Usually all they have to work with are small bio’s highlighting attributes and what not. Street Fighter, Tekken, Doom, Mortal combat and Tomb Raider come to mind here. Comics have years of source material and character development to pull from. Games often have an original and a sequel or two. Great movies are made from great source material that lends itself well to the movie model (character, story etc). Games just don’t do this that well because story generally is not the focus, gameplay is.
