[QUOTE="Chain Lightning, post: 2813930, member: 6791"] I disagree with this style of matching directors to movie projects. Just because Anderson did two video game movies doesn't mean he's the natural choice. Mortal Kombat was sort of passable (I think it was due to the extreme failures of its peers that it seemed to be a better movie than it was) and Resident Evil (in my opinion) was also very underwhelming. That, and if your a fan of the game, it failed to represent a majority of the source material. With Anderson's latest flop (in my opinion) Aliens vs. Predator, I can't understand why people keep thinking he's the "go to guy" for these adaptations. Its probably more due to the fact that its actually hard to find a director in Hollywood that is skilled to do it well but actually "wants" to work on a video game film. I think what might be helping Anderson out is that he actually wants to do them. Which is the only part I admire about the guy's work. I just hope he doesn't touch another property that I really like. He already ruined Resident Evil and Aliens vs. Predator for me. Unless he's ready to up his directing/writing game, I rather not see him on any of these projects. My two cents. Wow! That would be a huge budget project to get all those a-listers in the same movie! :eek: But it would be worth it.....because I'd see that movie twice....at the least.....on opening weekend.....
