Blaster Master was originally a video game, but would make for a great movie![/caption]One of the biggest areas that Hollywood seems to have adequately neglected and replaceed with literally dozens upon dozens of remakes... are the movies that are based on video games... Don't get me wrong when I say that there truly are some impressive movies based on video games... There are some duds as well... But there are some truly fun ones that still need to be made!
So I am hopping that with this series, to bring awareness to Hollywood about the fact that it is not time yet for Hollywood to remake everything it has ever made... That time will come, but until then there are other avenues to exploit... And one of them being, 'movies based on video games!'
Another great example that I personally feel could be adapted to serve as both a great movie as well the classic NES video game that it already is, is the classic video game, 'Blaster Master' (1988).

Blaster Master... A great game, could be a great movie![/caption]Now I will admit to the fact that unless you were born before about, '2000', then most people will have almost certain have forgotten about this killer game (the truth is, I hate to say it, but this game did not get a whole hell of a lot of recognition when it first came out either...)
Never the less, this video game would make an amazing movies... The reasons are as follow:
1. I think there are periods in general where, in Hollywood there is just not the right group of talent available to make a truly amazing Science Fiction movie (This may be the reason why there was literally, 'YEARS' between each of the early Alien movies...) But I think with the success of, Prometheus (2012), that, the time to strike for a Science Fiction movie, with a great cast, is now.
2. I think to really do this movie right, that up until recently the technology to make the special effects to the caliber necessary for such a great movie was not really available until recently.
3. And since the story is fairly well established in the video game, even with the usual, 'Hollywood' changes, it would be almost impossible to destroy the story for this story.
But don't take it from me, check out this clip from the video game, and lets get started with pre-production!
