I'll put any upcoming movies here, just in case anybody is interested. :)

The three I'll list here happen to be video-game to movie conversions:

Shadow of the Colossus
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2009/apr/10/gameculture

So far, I can only see one flaw with this.
It will be written by the genius who wrote Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li. And I have heard bad, bad things about that film.

Next is the horror game, Bioshock.
http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/08/bioshock-movie-in-development-gore-verbinski-directing/

It's to be directed by Gore Verbinski, of Pirates of the Caribbean fame.
Well, it's either an underwater horror film or another film about blasted pirates. I think I'd opt for the former.

And finally, probably the most amazing of the trio:
The Legend of Spyro 3D. Oh yes, you heard that right. A film about a purple dragon. In full 3D. It's like Twilight, if it actually realised how retarded it was.

:o Of course they won't! There's been Tomb Raider and Street Fighter and..... and.... Oh, yeah, they're all shite....

Films into games works, but the other way around always gets a bit silly. The plots just don't stand up too well. The only notable exception I can think of is Final Fantasy, but then I've never played the games much. And of course, Mew Vs Mewtwo, complete with that hillarious really moving "What am I?" speach, was pretty good. Then again, I'll go see Bioshock, not because I've played it, I just like that diving guy on the cover.....

Same here. The Big Daddies are fairly awesome.
