Heres an interesting piece from Destructoid about some games they think would make great movies:
Prince of Persia
I've always held a bit of an affinity for the mysteries of ancient Persia, an empire that was strong and learned. Now, I felt that Prince of Persia had an interesting story, and one that was not so stretched out that it couldn't easily be condensed into a movie. If you think about it, the environment, story, and characters are all introduced to you in the beginning, taking up about 1/2 hr of film, perhaps. Then, it's the prince's epic struggle to undo the damage that he has done. The final confrontation takes place, and thus is the end of the game.
Metal Gear Solid
Everyone wants to see Snake on the silver screen, especially Kojima. He's talked about wanting to do a Metal Gear Solid movie, and not letting Uwe Boll direct it. I think that Snake's first foray onto the Playstation would be great for a movie. Certainly the story would have to be compressed, but I think it's possible to cut out some of the bosses like Sniper Wolf and still keep the story.
Final Fantasy Tactics
In my opinion, Final Fantasy Tactics is the best game of the entire franchise, and also one of the easiest to turn into a film. FFT builds upon a world that is already well known to the general public: medieval/Rennaisance Europe. Now, take that setting, and add upon it the tenants of a Final Fantasy game: magic, monsters, and chocobo. Ramza and gang would make a good cast of heroes, and after Lord of the Rings, people have an easier time looking at goblins and ghouls without laughing at how fake they are.
Max Payne
I'm a bit of a sucker for film noir, I admit it. So, with Max Payne sitting there, I couldn't help but pick on it. Film noir has not had the strongest life in recent years, with films like Sin City and Brick being some of the few films that have made headlines. I think Max Payne coul easily be a good tongue-in-cheek look at the film noir genre, while taking some cool elements like bullet time into account.
Phoenix Wright
Now bear with me on this one. What would happen is more so putting Phoenix Wright into a whoe new situation, and also taking him out of the courthouse. The story will be a bit cheesy and overdramatic, but then again, isn't that what Phoenix Wright is all about? So, we follow Phoenix as he gets a new case where all the odds are stacked against him. Now Mr. Wright has to do some sleuthing of his own in order to prove that this man doesn't deserve to die. Sure, it sounds a little cheesy, but that's what the movies is about sometimes: an escape from reality.
Gears of War
I admit that I have yet to play this game, but from watching the FMVs and hearing so much about the story, I think Gears of War would be great to watch as a more action driven flick.
Guilty Gear
OK, this one is cheating, I admit. I love Guilty Gear, and I'm sick of having them tease me with an anime opening, a full story, and them not filling it out. I want to see a fully animated Guilty Gear anime show or film, simply because I love the series so much. While we'd be dealing with a fairly bloody and violent anime, like Street Fighter.

Hitman has been dated!
The Fox release, which will be directed by Xavier Gens from a screenplay by Skip Woods, is set to open October 12, 2007. That's right -- this fall.
Hitman only begins filming this April in Prague so that means the action film will have a whirlwind post-production process in order to make that release date.
Timothy Olyphant will star as Agent 47 in the film. IGN has also learned that casting for other key roles is under way and major announcements should be forthcoming.

Rumours regarding the adaptation of Prince of Persia to the silver screen:
According to IESB, a director has been tapped for the film adaptation of Prince of Persia, and it's the explosive (literally, have you seen his movies?) Michael Bay. If true, the movie would be scheduled for release in Summer 2009.
The news makes sense since the film's producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, and Bay have paired up as a producer-director combo for the following films: Bad Boys, Bad Boys II, The Rock, Pearl Harbor and Armageddon.

News about a Dragon Lair film:
The new Blu-ray release of the interactive movie/game Dragon's Lair features interviews with creators Don Bluth (of Secret of Nimh fame), Rick Dyer and Gary Goldman, during which the trio confirms that a Dragon's Lair feature film is still in the works.
"We've had a completed script for over three years now and we've had some very positive meetings with the studios," says Goldman. "It shouldn't be done as a CG movie, it should be done as traditional animation like the original game. But traditional animation is in a sort of limbo."
Goldman comments that he's hopeful since Disney is restarting their traditional animation division, but says there's a log jam of CG projects out there and people can't afford to go to every one.
