It's easy to make a video game movie that has no ties to anything else, it's making a video game movie that is based on a real game that is the goal we are looking for.I can easily make a game movie about something that doesn't exist because I have no limitations or guidelines I have to follow.If the movies they made about game characters where not based on real games it would be easy to make them into blockbusters.But the reality of it is that you can't take to many liberties with either the character or story or it will work against you.
