My God...It Might Actually Work!
Let's face it, after Final Fantasy: the Spirits Within bombed, all hope of an actually good videogame-based movie fell off the radar. Mortal Kombat was a good action movie (ie: a literal waste of time) and Resident Evil 1 (not the sequel) was a good B-movie, but there hasn't been anything that everyone, fan of the game/genre or not, can enjoy.
So many other projects have been announced. One which was a Dead or Alive movie. Yes, based on one of the few games that was more likely to have a hot-coffee-like scene in it then GTA: San Andreas, but somehow doesn't, is being made into a movie.
So Kotaku had this news post: http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/castlevania/studios-threaten-to-make-doa-2-castlevania-movies-183836.php#more .
It warns of upcomming efforts to make a sequel and a movie based on Castlevania. But mostly, it puts down the good (but far from AAA) people behind the DOA movie.
But that is not what convinced me. On that page, there is a YouTube trailer; watch it, I'll wait.
Yes, they integrated a bra into a fight.
I can't say it will be a transendant film, but it does exactly what Tomb Raider needed to be: it just doesn't take itself seriously. It seems to be Charlie's Angels-esque movie, but with luck (as the trailer implies), it will be a fun movie. It likely still won't live up to the expectations of either Final Fantasy film (Spirits Within or Advant Children), but the trailer alone has exceeded my expectations.
