Pac-Man The Movie: Yes, I'm Serious. (Castlevania also)

Pac Man might actually work as some kind of futuristic satire in which our epnoymous hero is the undisputed champion of some future sport a la Running Man or Roller Ball, at least until challenged by his newly divorced ex-wife, whose feminine charm and marketability upsets the tradition of the game, with hilarious results.

It works in my head, anyway.

Hogwash, that actually sounds like a good idea, although the future sport has to somehow involve ghosts and fruit. I suspect, however, the powers that be might consider saving Ms. Pac Man for the inevitable sequel.

Well, the main character is haunted by the memory of his late father.
And he’s gay.

has there ever been a *good *movie based on a video game?

I have actually been considering starting a new thread with that question.

Yes. The first Mortal Kombat.

I kinda liked Wing Commander, actually, though I’m prepared to stand alone on this.
And DOA: Dead or Alive had the saving grace of one heck of a lot of eye-candy.
