Why take game franchises that necessitate trying to make live action films? Why not a game franchise that could be made into an animated movie? After all there's almost no game with that great of a story it would make a great (or even good) movie. Even the most die hard fan of Uncharted would eventually have to admit the uncharted stories are closer in quality to the 4th Indiana Jones movie than the 1st. I'm not a die hard fan of Uncharted but it's one of my favourite game franchises this gen.
So why not make a movie from an animated franchise instead. Heck with the quality of animation achieved in current gen games you could almost make the movie using the game engine.
What game am I thinking about in particular? Ratchet & Clank. Or rather the origin story. After A Crack in Time we learn a little of Ratchet's people so an origin story could be pretty neat. Animated also means it doesn't matter what the game voice actors look like.
Animated shows often translate well to games (Naruto, One Piece) so animation style games could tanslate well to animated movies. Mario Bros. went wrong because they tried to make a live action movie, they should have made it an animated movie and it may have come out OK.
