The Most Famous Games Which Inspired Producers to Make Film Versions of Them

Well known “Mortal Combat” (1990-s). One of the best famous fighting games ever been created as well as one of the most violent games. It is a first game where real actors were playing roles. In 1995 there was released a first movie under the name “Mortal Combat”. Combining eastern mythology and martial arts it had a great effect on public gathering many people in cinemas. Though, the second part of this movie made in 1997 totally failed. No wonder – it has kind of silly plot.

Legendary game “Doom” (1993) – has a quite simple plot: run ahead, change guns and shoot as much as you can. Such simplicity is a great chance for movie producer’s and script writer’s imagination, so everybody was looking forward to see an interesting gripping movie. Finally in year 2005 it was released. But what a disappointment was waiting for audience – it got failing grades of both critics and public. The Rock was nominated as Worst Actor in Razzie Awards.

Of course famous “Lara Croft” – two movies where screened Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003). Both of them had extreme popularity due to of Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft and hit plot of the game which very alike to Indiana Jones.

Movie “Hitman” (2007) taking roots and plot from “Hitman” game. Nameless agent 47 do not remember his name or anything about himself but has a tattoo “barcode” on his neck, working as a professional killer for International Contract Agency. Looking tough Timothy Olyphant played the leading role in this movie.

A good example of horror survival games “Silent Hill” served as a base for the same name movie (2006). ? desperate mother who takes her adopted daughter goes to the town of Silent Hill in an attempt to cure her of her ailment. After a violent car crash her daughter disappears. The mother is starting her search. Pursued by grotesquely deformed creatures and a townspeople stuck in permanent purgatory, she begins to uncover the truth behind the apocalyptic disaster that burned the town 30 years back. It became one of the most famous horror movies of 2000s. Game “Silent Hill” includes four parts nowadays so we should wait for the next part!

Still, I want to mark out “Alone In The Dark” (2005) which was based on the same name video game. This movie won in two nominations “Worst Actress” and “Worst Director” in Razzie Awards. Two parts of “House of dead” which won “Worst Film” award. Three parts of “Resident Evil” based on video game where the leading role got Milla Jovovich and not a bad one.
