The Top Anticipated Video Game Movie adaptions

The Last of Us                                      

Love it or hate it its coming soon to theater near yours anyway. Naughty Dog announced weeks ago that a Last of Us film is in development. Due to the success of the game Sony will take there chances of green-lighting a movie adaptation. While I'm excited of any Last of Us announcement, the true question is a movie adaptation really necessary? The video game the Last is already have a dramatic movie experience to it. And making a movie that probably won't capture the intense character development like in the game and also trying to squeeze in a 2 hr movie just seems will be point less. The good news for this announcement is mentioned that Naughty Dog executives will be involved in the movie so this dose give me hope of the potential for this movie.






Splinter Cell 

Like the most of Tom Clancy's political spy novels all of them have a good spot in a Hollywood cinematic action movie. We see it all the time with Jack Ryan series and the Bourne series but how about Sam Fisher? Sam Fisher a Black Ops Agent who is also apart of a sub-division for the NSA. That alone sounds like a block buster hit in the waiting. The scary side of this movie being possibly being made is will it turn out to become a generic action movie? "Cough" Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit....Splinter Cell stories flows well in a video game where a decent or great story matter and gameplay is the key essential element of the game. But can Splinter Cell adapt well in a 2hr film ? I can see in the future many critics will complain of the plot of Splinter Cell being a cliche spy/secret agent action thriller movie. Splinter Cell game wise is amazing but in movie wise how will Splinter Cell differentiate themselves of just being a bland action  movie.  
Also it has been announced that director Doug Liam is in talks to direct a Splinter Cell movie. The same director over Mr and Mrs. Smith and Bourne Identity. So let's wait of what will Doug Liam flavor will be for Splinter Cell. 
 

Sly Cooper
Sly Cooper is schedule to be released sometime in 2016 and to hold are anticipation for such a longtime Suck Punch revealed a early trailer on Jan 28. After watching trailer over hundred times its no doubt I'm dearly excited for this movie! I remember playing the first Sly Cooper since was eight years old now seeing a movie that is actually in the works is more outstanding. With recent successful animated movies such as the Lego and Frozen there is no doubt that Sly Cooper will become a big hit in the BOX OFFICE.

Assassin Creed

Assassin Creed movie is developed as Micheal Fassbender being latched onto the project. It is rumored that Micheal Fassbender is going to play protagonist Desmond Miles. However, I hope Micheal will be Altair instead of being just Desmond. There is a little to this movie another day being released in 2015. Assassin Creed is Ubersoft household property if Assassin Creed movie is a success than be ready to see more narrative driven videogame movies being adapted to the screen. Also we really need a videogame movie to be actually be a GAME CHANGER not another disappointing Video game adaption. Of all games I think Assassin Creed as a shot of being that sort of gamer changer due to its unique story, huge fan following and talented experience screenwriters and promising actor  and Oscar Nominee Micheal Fassbender.
