Hmm, I suppose any of the MI series would work. I think that KQ2+ by AGDI would be perfect for a movie. Freddy Pharkus is also one that I think would make for an interesting/good movie.

I think Grim Fandango would make a good broadway play. Just think of how good the scene where he inherits the buss boy job and parleys it into a huge gambling hall.

By the way I think Gabriel Knight would make a great TV series. Provided, of course, that good writers and directors will take care of every single episode |

Well how many adventure games were ACTUALLY made into movies, so you guys can't wedge adventure games into the FPS genre or whatever. The only problem is that FPS or whatever, don't have a solid enough script like adventure games do.
A monkey island movie probably would be called a Pirates of the Caribean rip off. Although a monkey island movie would be interesting. Although I'd like to see Space Quest made into a movie (series). Then again, THE DIG would make a fantastic movie, so I hope Steven Spielberg will pick up on that. Then again, fans could make their own movies, Its been done with MAX PAIN, BATMAN, and many other games.

I'd love to see Space Quest 5 as a movie, preferably with Brendan Fraser as Roger.
Gabriel Knight would make a great premise for a TV series (Gabe and Grace as Schattenjager supernatural investigators), but most of the ground it would cover has already been done by X-Files and Buffy and whatnot. And, IIRC, The Dig actually did start out as a movie idea, but was made into a game because the movie-making technology needed just wasn't there at the time. Peace & Luv, Liz

I would want a Tex Murphy movie.
Or perhaps a Shadow of the Comet/Prisoner of Ice double feature. Oh. How could I forget Sanitarium? |

Just to set the record straight; MI wasn't based on the ride, seeing the ride just gave Ron the idea of making a pirate themed game. I don't think a MI movie would get called a POTC rip-off, any more than POTC gets called a Treasure Island rip-off. MI's humorous slant and cartoon visuals make it a unique spin on the pirate genre.
Yes, I do think Tim Burton would make a good Grim Fandango movie. He's one of the few people I would trust to do it properly. Schafer and Burton would be a great collaboration on anything. |
