Paul W.S. Anderson is famous for two things: Being Mr. Milla Jovovich and making movies based on video games. He’s now keen to spread his wings and create video games.

“In the future,” the filmmaker told MTV News, “I want to be developing intellectual properties that will occupy both spaces simultaneously.” Anderson has brought survival horror series Resident Evil and fighting game Mortal Kombat to the big screen.

He wants to do a Buck Rogers video game – what do you think? Is that a title you would want to see as a new game? Or something that Anderson should do?

The author of this oral history of the zombie apocalypse, Max Brooks, confirms that the film adaptation is still very much alive — or very much undead.

One of the most anticipated book-to-film projects currently in Hollywood development, World War Z hasn’t been in the news as of late — and that absence might lead zombiphiles to question whether we’ll ever see a movie. Author Max Brooks seeks to calm those fears, even while admitting that Z isn’t a cheap nut to crack. In an interview with FearNet, Brooks said:…

STRETCH ARMSTRONG MOVIE GETS A WRITER AND DIRECTOR

Universal Pictures announced they’ve signed up Rob Letterman (co-director of Monsters vs Aliens) to direct Stretch Armstrong, the film based on the once popular Hasbro stretchy toy. And Universal also said they’ve brought Nicholas Stoller on board to do a rewrite of Steve Oederkerk’s original screenplay.

Letterman and Stoller just finished up working together on 20th Century Fox’s Gulliver’s Travels (starring Jack Black and Emily Blunt) which Letterman directed and Stoller rewrote. And Stoller recently finished writing/directing Get Him to the Greek, a spin-off of Forgetting Sarah Marshall – another film he co-wrote and directed.

I hesitate at any movie based on a toy, but with this director and writer, there might be hope for this? What do you think?

I agree with that list SO much. Sometimes successful movies should just be left alone.
