[QUOTE]This news is just big enough for me to briefly pause my hiatus. Sony Pictures has acquired the rights to make a Roller Coaster Tycoon movie. More from Reuters:[INDENT]Sony Pictures Animation has pre-emptively picked up rights to the Atari video game “Rollercoaster Tycoon,” and is developing the project as a live-action/CGI hybrid.[IMG]http://www.thecoastercritic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/256px-Rct-box.jpg[/IMG]
The “Tycoon” franchise, created by Chris Sawyer, is a popular series of computer games that simulate a combination of designing roller coasters and amusement park management. Each game challenges players with open-ended amusement park management and development while allowing them to construct and customize their own unique roller coasters.
The games are popular in the PC world, generating more than $300 million in sales and giving Atari bragging rights for having the third-best-selling PC title of all time in the U.S.

A movie about a boy who grows up to build an amusement park, works his way up, only to hit a huge bump. He recollects himself, and in the end beats his rival/gets the girl/saves the orphanage.

This is like making a movie based on The Sims...
Oh wait, it's [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sims#Film"]actually hapenning[/URL]
Horrendous idea.
The amazing story of a boy who grows to manhood and creates hundreds of fun roller coasters that will kill people on the first run.
*gets up and walks away from his computer*

Sounds like a 3D gimmick film to me. Like one that should be in one of those cinemas with the tilting seats/room but isn't.
Presumably with some shitty story too.
Fuck do we really need a news thread every single time some company buys the rights to a video game film? 99% of them never get made.
When I was eight, I made a park called Junky Junkyards.
It had Nazi prison camps, people rowing boats on land, explosions, and coasters that crashed into bathrooms.
This is gonna be one stupid movie.

And builds hilarious path mazes so PEOPLE CAN NEVER LEEEEEEEAVE.
It could work if it`s based on the superAuschwitz death-trap themeparks I`d and everybody else use to make.
There needs to be a moment when he/she goes insane and builds a ride that purposely crashes into the park-goers.

I vote there be no more movies made from video games, they just all suck.
What the hell? I can already tell this is going to be terrible.

[quote=the sims movie wiki]The film will be produced by John Davis, who has worked on films such as [b]Norbit[/b] and Eragon.[/quote]

Eragon sucked also.

Which is remarkably similar to my parks.
Except the coasters crashed into the Nazi death camps

He has 3? :monocle:
my bet is this is something theyre going to try and push 3D on by having the audience experience a roller coaster ride in 3d or some shit.

His baby-batter is indistinguishable from buckshot.
oh god why
There needs to be a scene where the main character builds Kastle Karts and then it goes into a story of a child who was born and raised in the queue line.
or a part where the main character builds a fucking long minigolf course and a narrator reads the diaries of people who want to get off MiniGolf Course 1

Fuck now I need to go dig up my RCT2 CD
