The Assassin's Creed movie looks terrible - and by all accounts is terrible - so why don't we rebrand movies that are already good (or at least decent) with video game licenses.

I spend 8+ hours to finish a video game, that is a long time to watch a movie

No One Can Stop Mister Domino

You wouldn't even need to reference the game; title alone is enough to make a compelling franchise.

JediTalentAgent: Jun 5, 2005; Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!

No One Can Stop Mr. Domino is so compelling that I want it to be about his run for the White House in 2020.

"Don't Knock Domino"
"Topple Tyranny with Domino"
"Domino: Don't Knock Him"
"Domino: Change in Effect"

Seriously, though: I've been working on a rough draft of movies based on several old video games.

Atari Video Chess is about a man who can manipulate reality to win chess matches and the man determined to bring him down.

Fallout New Vegas, up until the Courier deals with Benny, is a straight post-apoc revenge flick.

but it would still be lovely

SealHammer: Jul 4, 2010; Click to understand my bad faith posting.

Anything wh40k would make a good sci-fi action flick, but I dunno if that counts as a video game since it was already an established franchise.

okay hear me out
you'll have to imagine a little because i don't think i could draw this

make a movie out of highly acclaimed indie wonder rpg, undertale, a story about a kid lost in a cave full of wacky, quirky monsters

but instead of a one billion dollar budger or a cgi movie, do it muppet style with cardboard sets and felt puppets of all the monsters

so make the above characters like

or maybe like

Splatterhouse. With the rise in pop culture horror in the last handful of years, it seems like a concept that someone would exploit to just do a 90 minute fun gore and violence fest. You could probably redesign the mask well enough to make sure it didn't violate any of the Jason Voorhees stuff but somehow manange to make it an homage to everything horror thing that has been made in the last 40 years.

A movie based on Rolling Thunder seems like it would be worth seeing. Sleek superspy running through a secret base killing hooded badguys.

Make it a starring vehicle for dude who plays Loki or JGL.

There have been so many watchable to good movies based on lovely toy franchises. Why hasn't one video game adaptation gotten the formula right yet?

A Resident Evil movie but this time actually based on the video games

Speaking of Resident Evil, is that considered the best video game-to-movie adaption? At least based on financial success? Because they made 28 of them.

I'd watch an esports sports drama if they played it 100% straight

Main storyline: Can {underdog team} 5-man team (plus coach and back-up) pull themselves together in time to:
Act 1: Win entry to (generic yearly national/international MOBA tournament)
Act 2: Actually win the tournament

Subplots:
-One player on the 5-man team uses performance enhancing drugs! Ethics, safety concerns, and unclear regulations abound! Probably gets removed and that's where the back-up steps in, but learns from the experience.
-The main character, second player, NEEDS to win the prize money so he can afford to live!
-The main antagonist ALSO NEEDS to win the prize money so he can afford to do something nearly as important as living!
-The coach struggles with depression of being an ex-pro who injured his wrists and lives vicariously through his players, and is also an rear end in a top hat, but works on it!
-Third player on the team is some new kid who's a total protege, but has trouble being a team player
-The fourth player on the team isn't your typically e-sportsers, he has a loving wife and kids who don't approve of his "hobby". Can he salvage his relationships while still playing? (The answer is yes, but barely, and it negatively affects his performance)
-The final player on the team is a girl. Love quadrilateral with the MC, the back-up, and the rival. (Sorry, Bechdel). Also "dealing with sexism" and "proving the gaming world wrong" plotline.
-Back-up! Surprise, it's the main character's cooler older brother who isn't even close to being as good at games, but better in almost every other way. Only agreed to be the back-up to let the team register and never expected to need to play. MC needs to work through some complicated feelings.

Finale: In game against rival's team, the MC's team is fighting an uphill battle, looks like they're going to win, but end up losing. However, the MC recovers his relationship with his older brother who then provides for him to some extent so he can live. Girl ends up with rival, actually, but the rival turns out to be pretty cool too so it's OK, especially because the MC meets someone else totally unrelated to gaming (probably healthier). The fourth player realizes gaming isn't for him and returns back to his family. Prodige' gets picked up by another team and wins next year. Coach never resolves his feelings, but learns to cope. The e-sports establishment continues to grow. Credits.

Only if you make this 80s as hell. Or, do another lovely Grown-Ups movie where they all have to get into e-sports.
