    It looks like 'Return to Castle Wolfenstein' has been optioned for a movie in the next 2 years.

    I've also read somewhere that people are considering the Doom 3 release for a movie treatment as well.

    Looks like more sci-fi game-orientated splatterfests on the screen soon then:D

    Maybe someone somewhere should get their thumb out of their ring and make Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty into a movie? THAT would be amazing, I mean, the cut-sequences from the game are better than most movies to date that I have seen.
    Wolvenstein would be a novel idea, mix 1 part Private Ryan with 2 parts Evil Dead and 1 part Commando.

    Hi.

    What I think is really weird is the transition of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

    --First a VERY unsuccessful movie

    --Then a VERY successful TV show spawning posters, soundtracks, box sets, and a legion of fans

    --Then a quite successful game, first on the gameboy color, then on the xbox

    --Now there is going to be a new Buffy movie, and if Sarah Michelle Gellar doesn't get her ass in line, that Irish singer, Samantha Mumba, who acted in the movie of the "Time Machine" will be playing Buffy herself.

    And by the way, you're soooo right - Metal Gear Solid 2 would make a cool movie!!

    mmm Samantha Mumba. (No idea of her acting skills though)

    I thought Resident Evil an amazingly good translation

    I cant see Ms mumba ever playing Buffy in another Buffy movie.
    It would be like samual L Jackson playing Indy in the next Indiana Jones movie.

    Good god lets hope not. From all the reviews/opinions/cutscenes i've scene sam mumba has the acting ability of a rusty paper clip!
