In this article we�ll take a look at five upcoming game-to-movie-adaptations you could (or could not) look forward to in 2007.

Games and Hollywood have a long winding history and even though it’s not resulted in some Oscar winning material, it’s entertaining nevertheless. In this article we’ll take a look at five upcoming game-to-movie-adaptations you could (or could not) look forward to in 2007.

Halo

Release Date: 2007
You’ve played both the games and now get ready to watch Master Chief kick some Covenant ass on the big screen. The movie will be directed by South African newcomer Neil Blomkamp and produced by none other than Peter Jackson (LOTR, King Kong). There’s no official word as to who would play Master Chief, but there were wild rumors on Denzel Washington stepping into the bots of the cloned super soldier. Halo will be shot in New Zealand and will be released in 2007/2008, and here’s a quick synopsis for those who’ve just emerged from their bomb shelter (courtesy imdb.com):
After they crash-land on an artificial ring-world called Halo, a marine captain, his surviving marines, and a genetically-and-surgically-enhanced supersoldier called "Master Chief" must find out what the Covenant, the genocidal alien race they are at war with, are looking for on the ring. However, Halo holds more secrets than either side imagined.

Resident Evil: Extinction

Release Date: 7th September 2007
The third Resident Evil movie, Extinction sees Milla Jovovich (Alice) and Sienna Guillory (Jill Valentine) reprising their roles respectively. Extinction is set four years after the events that took place in the second movie, Apocalypse. The Umbrella Corporation has failed to control the T-Virus outbreak as a result of which most of the world as we know it, has been wiped out. With humanity in the doldrums, you have a certain amount of humans traveling together in packs scourging deserted areas for any signs of civilization.
