It's a familiar song and dance after a game adaptation is announced: folks get worried, nervous, excited and then horribly disappointed. Going by the trailer, the Dead or Alive movie looks to be no exception.

Fear not says the flick's producer Mark A. Altman. He should know as he's brought us those House of the Dead movies. We are in good hands. Mark A. Altman is a seasoned pro, and he uses his middle initial. Mark assures us:

I've seen a number of cuts now of the film and all I can say is I think it's incredibly faithful to the game so if you like the games, you'll like the movies not to mention the fight scenes are incredibly memorable. I like to think it's the closest I've gotten to working on a James Bond movie...so far... I always loathe to jinx things by talking about sequels before the films open, but I think this is a rich universe with great characters and we all had a lot of fun making it so it's certainly my hope they'll be many, many more DoA movies.

By mentioning that the movie keeps getting re-edited (never a good sign) and that it's like a James Bond film (ugh), we can take Altman's remark of making many more DoA movies to be only one thing: a threat. Brian Ashcraft
