Alice and Max on Their Way to the Big Screen

**MIG-31** · Feb 8, 2006, 07:45 PM

The movie adaptation versions of Rogue's American McGee's Alice and Remedy's Max Payne have seemingly been in development hell for years now. Both projects have always seemed like ones destined for the theatres; Max Payne because of its very film noir-inspired atmosphere and characters, and Alice simply because American McGee always makes such a big deal about cross-pollinating his games into as many different forms of entertainment as possible.

Collision Entertainment producer Scott Faye, of last year's Slasher flick Venom, is heading up both projects. Faye spoke to Yahoo! Games' Hollywood Byte regarding the status of the films. Alice seems to be further along, with a completed screenplay, Sarah Michelle Gellar attached in the lead role, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake director Marcus Nispel directing. The film is a Universal Pictures project with a budget of $40 to $50 million, and it may start filming this summer for a release next year.

Yeah, more god-awful movies, starting forgetable actors, filmed by terrible directors, marketed at the ultra-geeky! Gotta love Hollywood.

Just because you dont like the actors do not mean the movie will turn out bad. Also if you hate the movie, it does not means that every one hate that same movie. It just opiniions on what you think about the movie and so forth.

I happy to see more game to movies coming out, I like most of them that came out.

All Game to Movie ports has certainly been average (tomb raider) to way below any sort of description to be called a movie (Mario).. the worst out of the lot has to go to street fighter with J C Van dam.

But even so everyones opinions differ so who knows how these will turn out.
