Movie to video game adaptations of the early 1980s were difficult things. Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, and The Empire Strikes Back were as hard to master as they were hard to genuinely enjoy. More »

3D. Had enough? Tough crap, it sounds like there will be more. And according to movie director James Cameron (pictured, with George Lucas), the future of 3D is being fueled by video games. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5795268&view=rss&microfeed=true Video games have stolen many things from Hollywood. What's Hollywood going to take back? Director James Cameron wants to shoot Avatar 2 and 3 at 48 or even 64 frames per second, the latter rate being the ideal framerate for first-person shooters and racing games. Movies are usually shot at 24 fps, but, hey, if every other military game is going to steal from Cameron's Aliens, then surely the man can have his 60 frames which, he says, "is just reality. It is really stunning." [The Hollywood Reporter] More »

For those unfamiliar with James Cameron's upcoming Avatar, the very gamey flick follows an ex-Marine's struggle for survival on an alien planet. The title refers to the main character's status as an avatar — a human mind in an alien body. Besides creating oodles (yes, oodles) of CG alien characters to inhabit the flick, Cameron is also planning to show the movie (and the movie based games!) in stereoscopic 3D. The avatar game is apparently already running in stereoscopic 3D! Cameron has been shooting the film in New Zealand, and it's about 60 percent done. Cameron's gunning to have it finished it time for its December 2009 release. Above is a picture of the set, which looks more like they're making a game and less like a movie in the traditional sense.

Whether it's creating CG liquid robots or making movies underwater, James Cameron hasn't just pushed boundaries, he's toppled them over and then stomped the crap outta them. His upcoming movie Avatar doesn't sound any different! For those unfamiliar with the years off flick, the very gamey flick follows an ex-Marine's struggle for survival on an alien planet. The title refers to the main character's status as an avatar — human mind in an alien body. Besides creating oodles (yes, oodles) of CG alien characters to inhabit the flick, Cameron is also planning to screen the movie (and the movie based games!) in stereoscopic 3D. But what about the story? Says Cameron: More »

Anyone seen a movie in stereoscopic 3D? I caught Beowulf a few months back, thought it was great. Partly for the 3D, but mostly for the glasses, because the ones my cinema were handing out were replica Buddy Holly specs, with not a blue or red piece of cellophane in sight. Classy. I mention this because James Cameron's upcoming sci-fi "epic" Avatar will be screened in stereoscopic 3D, and Cameron has 3D on the brain, wanting to screen not just the movie in the third dimension, but - as rumoured -the games based on the movie as well. Indeed, Cameron's told Cnet that a 360 build of the adaptation is already up, running, and up and running in 3D. Sounds good to me. So long as the glasses look good. More »

Last we heard about James Cameron's big sci-fi yarn Avatar Ubisoft had bagged the game rights. For those unfamiliar with the years off flick, it follows an ex-Marine's struggle for survival on an alien planet. The title refers to the main character's status as an Avatar — human mind in an alien body. (Space Marines, aliens, wow, already sounds like a game!) How's the project coming along?

I may have never gotten my dream game based off of James Cameron's last epic film, 1997's Titanic, but Ubisoft has taken steps to make sure that the great writer / director's work isn't bypassed for game treatment again, having secured the rights to his 2009 film "Avatar". The movie follows the story of an ex-Marine who finds himself in a struggle for survival on an alien planet. The title refers to the main character's status as an Avatar - a human mind in an alien body. Certainly sounds like a video game plot, doesn't it? With a cast that includes Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana (rawr), and Sigourney Weaver and WETA on effects detail, "Avatar" could turn out to be the next big sci fi epic. More »

Although Sega hasn't said much about the Aliens game that will be coming out, the developer for the game, Randy Pitchford at Gearbox, has let some of the cats out of the bag. The game, which is based on that classic sci-fi sequel by James Cameron, will be a first-person shooter that follows the character Colonial Marine, a soldier that accompanies Sigourney Weaver in the movie.

The New York Times has a piece up on James Cameron's $200 million sci-fi epic Avatar. The film, as Cameron explains, is a mix of CG characters and CG environments with live-action and live environments. And how does he plan to capture this? He (and his computer experts) have designed a special camera that allows him to view actors proformances in the film's virtual environment in real time. Cameron says: More »

At the recent Austin Game Conference, Hollywood producer Jon Landau (Titanic, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and Dick Tracy) talked MMOs and film. Earlier this year, Landau and director James Cameron became board members for MMO game network Multiverse. While nothing official has been announced, Laundau referred to himself as "a filmmaker who's involved in creating IP that games are based on." With cinema's production and technology moving closer to gaming, the producer points out: More »

True, the headline makes me think about the Super Mario Brothers Super Show and how a similar show hosted by Night Elves could be a giant mess, but that's not what this is about. Instead, Business Week published an article interviewing James Cameron (yep, Terminator 2 director). Cameron indicates he wants to create a game that will first lure MMO gamers and have them play in the virtual world, before the movie comes out shortly thereafter. More »
