Depth? We are talking about a world that allows Sylvester Stallone and Arnold roam free under no threat of being fired upon, locked up and fired upon again. "We don't need no stinking depth, unless it's Das Boot"

Ok, so it would be a pretty silly movie, but have you seen "Battle of Britain"?

no, i haven't but from what i have read about it, it's based on actual events, not the game. and by depth i'm not talking about "world that allows Sylvester Stallone and Arnold roam free under no threat of being fired upon, locked up and fired upon again" because i think that's pretty shallow as well. i'm onabout max payne levels of depth (that actually has a pretty engrossing storyline along with a lot of depth IMO) as it's not just a guy walking round with a gun killing everyone (ok, the game is but the storyline still manages to shine through) but it's a bad step basing a movie on a game with virtually no coherent/non-cliche storyline as half the games out today work on no good storyline or a variant on an already used storyline of some kind. for example - fallout would make an interesting film if done right but knowing the hollywood directors/producers, they'd turn it into a mad max style film which would f*** me off. silent hill was ok but they changed the storyline far too much to even say it's based on the same storyline as the games. and look at what they did with resident evil - change the storyline and make it into an action thriller. it's examples like that which make me doubtful that any really great game to movie conversions will ever happen. sorry if that other comment came across the wrong way but a standout storyline is needed to event think about doing justice to a game IMO and there has already been 3 terrible star wars films in recent times and i don't think george lucas would convey the star wars storyline from the games well enough to mix with the series of films (ep 1 2 and 3 were bad tries to tie up the storyline within that time frame in the film timeline's)
