Destructoid is on the scene with a roundup of pending bigscreen video game adaptations, and what the big D misses, their commentors point out.
I like this system of anticipation, the Probability of Suck. It's vaguely antagonistic, and completely to the point. Which is how I aspire to live my life.
Alice Probability of Suck:Moderately Low American McGee's Alice is getting the big screen treatment. We have Sarah Michelle Gellar set to play Alice, and the director is Marcus Nispel. Nispel's debut into Hollywood films was 2003's Texas Chainsaw Massacre. His next movie, Pathfinder, is to be released soon (trailer looks good). The screenplay is being writter by two brothers, neither of whom have writing experience. Unfortunately, I've never gotten to play through the game, although I've heard and read plenty about it. If this director has improved in the quality of his filmmaking, then I'll have some faith in this movie being made.
Does anyone else think Sarah Michelle Gellar is WAY too old for this role? Too old, and sorta doughy-faced. We need someone barely post-adolescent, and sharp. Not some sad sack vampire stabber. Her face is all pulled down at the edges. McGee's Alice was feline.
Jennifer Connelly could do it.
