Hindsight is 20/20 right?

Bet Konami wished they didn't sign the deal for King Arthur. Likewise EA for Catwoman. Even Atari's probably shed a couple of tears over The Matrix.

Let's do the publishers a favor and make a list of forthcoming movies that they SHOULDN'T license.

My picks: (I'm sure some already have been tapped, but it's not to late to pull the plug)

The Cave
Aeon Flux (nobody wants a game based on the movie, they want a game based on the 'toon)
The Island
Fantastic Four

EA will prolly eat up that fantastic four movie liscense and churn out an ass festival of gaming with it. so yay.

Activison already has that plum sown up.

Ass festival. Heh.

 

[FoneBone]

The Cave

This is hardly a high-profile movie -- can't see why it would get licensed.

Aeon Flux (nobody wants a game based on the movie, they want a game based on the 'toon)

Already on release lists from Majesco. No details, so it could be based on the cartoon, but I doubt it.

The Island

Well... nothing yet...

Fantastic Four

Activision.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Movies not to license:

The Piano
What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
The English Patient
White Men Can't Jump..........oh shit too late.........

Sin City, you know it'd be a GTA/Scarface/True Crime/ Godfather clone.
Vertigo Comics
Popular kids stuff from before the 70's, looking at Namco.
Deadwood or Sopranos

 

[FoneBone]

Sopranos

Well, not quite, but it's still amusing.

Scar-fuckin-face! Tony Montana is dead, Vivendi! For fuck's sake.
