Also, what's with everyone saying "Oh, it's so much harder to make a movie out of a game than it is a comic?" That's not f**king true at all. With a game, you have one single story to tell, usually that has already been told via action scenes, cinematics, and acting. All you have to do is translate it from a TV with a player, to a theater with an audience. Something like Max Payne pretty much does that without any additional help needed. You could pretty much just film someone playing the game well and have a movie.
With comics you have to drudge through years upon years of history to take the defining moments of the character that the fans want to see while still telling a cohesive story. That's how you get things like X3 and Spider-Man 3, where it's full of stuff fans said they wanted, but it just doesn't work when thrown into a blender and then regurgitated onto the screen.
Making things like Max Payne, Hitman, and Resident Evil (ESPECIALLY Resident Evil) should have been a no brainer, yet they managed to screw all of them up. The only video game movie they've ever done right is Mortal Kombat, as it stuck to the games story, was fun, and yeah cheesy as hell, but that was kind of the point.
