Electronic Arts Asked Everyone What Movie They Would Make Into a Video Game. Here's What They Said.

Earlier this afternoon, Electronic Arts’ official Twitter feed posed a question tailor-made for the post-lunch doldrums of a hump day in a four-day work week. If you could turn one movie into a video game, what would you choose? The question gathered more than 600 responses.

Curiously, none of them mentioned Road House. None mentioned They Live. None mentioned Buckaroo Banzai, nor Deliverance, but that’s probably a good thing. There was a lot of Inception, and Hunger Games and The Neverending Story, though.

We’ve culled together more than 30 other replies representing gaming’s cinephile constituency. What’s your take, should any of these be greenlit? Or do you have something else in mind?

Hey. The Godfather II was not a horrible movie. Just a horrible game.

Yes. Although it sounds a little too: Driver: San Francisco-y.

Considering that was a U.S. remake of a Chinese crime film, I’d suggest you check out Sleeping Dogs.
