    Apparently, "Driver", the video game that came out on Playstation and PC, is to be made into a movie. Click here for the story.

    Opinions?

    Sounds like another run of the mill video game movie , theres loads of games like Driver about but theres nothing special about it to use as a back-story imo , everything in it has been done before and I actually thought some of the plots were lifted from 70s cop movies

    The fact that all the driver games bar the first one (where the script was a bit naff anyway but gameplay was unique at the time) are rubbish makes this a clear no no, thats soley on the merits of the game alone let alone how brilliant all these adaptations of plotless games turn out!
    Why can't they just leave games alone? Wish this trend would stop now.

    I felt the same way when I first read the article but what got me interested was the involvement of Roger Avary. This guy worked on Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and the new Silent Hill movie as a writer. This could be good...

    Or maybe I'm just an optimist...

    Considering the games it'd have to have some excellent car chases which isnt a bad thing imo. I wouldnt expect a great plot or anything but it could still be a good movie.
