could be epic if done right.

flipping awful if done wrong.

erm i suppose you not seen the following:

1. yakuza
2. mortal kombat
3. resident evil was reasonable popcorn film
4. tomb raider was good popcorn
5. hitman
6. max payne
7. forbidden siren

as long as uwe frigging boll doesnt get his hands on it, half the battle will be won!

in the economic crisis i think more devs should look at making CGI based films based on games, it'll make them lots of cash

Do you mean, "Forced to retreat back to"?  It is more like that the planet was one of the colonies of the original corporation, and got to be VERY successful due to industry, and then there was resentment, so they lost Venta (however it is spelled) and were forced to make do on what they had, and they adjusted.

There is enough back story here that it would be interesting to watch.  The rise of Visari could be interesting, done up like a pseudo-documentary/

*cough Final Fantasy cough*

The twelve movies of Pokemon?

Seriously, even though I don't own a PS3 or Killzone 2, it would remind me of the Final Fantasy Spirits Within movie.

The major complaint about Killzone was that it was too short, linear, and without much depth. Sounds like an awesome action movie to me. Plus with the amount of powerful symbolism, images, cinematic sequences, and some reference to the backstory/real world politics and history, it can have a solid foundation of a story. They just have to make it less cartoony/Gears of Warish, and more Saving Private Ryan/Downfall. Tone down some of the sci-fi imagery and make everything even MORE gray.

I'll love to see the Killzone (1) movie start with a 20-25 minute prologue that lays out the Helghast's side. The first movie can show the suffering of the Helghast in general, with burials, depressed workers, crying babies, and then it builds up as you see a few bald kids scampering over ruins and propaganda to see a huge crowd of soldiers on a opulent square that contrasts with the poverty surrounding them:

Then it's just a straight forward action flick. Hopefully they can get more writers to add a little more depth to the 4 characters and their dialogue, but other than that they've got a simple task of deciding what parts of the games to be highlighted and for how long.

What I hope they do is to neither depict the ISA and especially the Helghast as just mindless evil AIs. Saving Private Ryan did this brilliantly with showcasing both the Americans and Germans as being brutal, human, and caring (there's no such thing as "inhumane" if you're cynical, you could say that benevolence is "inhumane").

For the next movie I hope that they do the same 20-25 minute prologue thing, except focusing entirely on Visari's childhood life, and what drove him to become the leader of a war that killed thousands of innocents (does he really care about the Helghast? After what he's done?). I hope that they depict Rico better than they did in the game, and highlight how emotionally unstable he can get, and that he doesn't intend the consequences of his actions to take fruit. But, they should have a much easier time making a movie for this game, considering how cinematic it was.
