Exactly. There is more or less nothing that hasn't been done yet. That's also where there are so many covers around in the music world these days. Plus only now technology has been getting to the point where it is possible to turn comics etc. into movies in a convincing way. _________________ Tygon Panthera - name and species

Lord of the Rings, Return of the King Based on a book, 1.1 billion, total for all three movies 3 Billion.. yes billions.
Harry Potter movies, slightly under 3 billion
Jurassic Park, based on a novel by Michel Criton $920 million (almost a billion) just for the first movie, another billion for the other movies
Shrek and Shrek 2, based on a book as well 1.4 billion
Spider-Man and Spider-man 2 based on a comic book $1.4 billion
Forrest Gump, based on a book $679 million
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl based on a freakin amusment park ride $652 million
Men in Black and Men in Black 2 based on a comic book almost $1 billion
Mission Impossible 1 and 2 based on an old TV show; a little over $1 billion.

You know what? That idea sounds so ridiculously absurd it HAS to be good. Like Bubble Bobble. |

Hey! Every film I've ever seen - I've watched to be entertained. I was just particularly annoyed at these because ... I wasn't. In the slightest. XD _________________ -=Scifer. Badgerfox.

My friends and I once held a zombie night.
First up was the new Dawn of the Dead. Fun Fun.
Then Resident Evil 2. We all fell asleep. Honestly, that movie barely had any zombies in it... |

Well you have to remember. The reason they are making movies out of other stuff like games and comics is to pretty much liven them up. If you ever notice right after a movie made off a comic the acual comic book is put back on the shelves enforced. _________________ This is the place where I turned furry.
