Game over man!

With Silent Hill doing good box office, other video game movies are in the pipeline. Here are a few we've heard about.....

  • Pacman Begins. Jimmy Pacman is a hardnosed NYPD cop, who faces off against the 'Ghost' criminal gang. Following a personal tragedy Jimmy turns to pills, and finds himself with an urge to chow down on the Ghosts.
  • Minesweeper. Tough drama set in Bosnia, following a master unexploded mine disposal expert and his team.
  • Bubble Bobble. Matrix eat your heart our- forget bullet-time: introducing Bubble-time for exciting (but family friendly) action sequences. Follows the brothers Bub and Bob who get turned into bubble-blowing dinosaurs. In an unconventional piece of casting, they will be played by Mary-Kate and Ashley.
  • Pong. Thrilling and fast spaced sports movie, set in the world of tennis.
  • The Godfather. Highly original New-York Mafia based crime movie based on this year's hit PS2/PC/Xbox videogame
