Paul W.S. Anderson has apparently been named official poet laureate of successful video game conversions by the GDC.
Anderson, the director of the kinda-sorta-alright Resident Evil, the not-really-video-game-related Aliens Vs. Predator and the who-the-hell-knows Castlevania will speak at the Hollywood and Games Summit presented by the Game Developer's Conference and The Hollywood Reporter on June 27th. His subject? How to create commercially and critically successful films based off of video game IPs.
Okay, we'll give him a history of commercially successful films, but Anderson's video game oeuvre hardly strikes us as rubbing shoulders with Tarkovsky. Although we suppose we should be screaming thanks to that imaginary man who lives on a cloud that the Hollywood Reporter didn't nominate Uwe Boll for the speech.
