Oct 6, 2024 · Unlike Synecdoche, New York, Eternal Sunshine, or even Adaptation, Human Nature is much more of a straightforward comedy. It's undeniably weird, and unsettling at times, but both in a filmmaking ...

The 18-wheeler trucks started rolling out of the Atari warehouse on Thursday 22 September 1983. Their cargo: millions of Atari VCS cartridges of E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, the most hyped game in the company’s history. Their destination: a landfill site in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Arriving at the desert dump, the trucks emptied their once precious c...
As videogame sales increased, movies looked like they were under threat. Disneytapped into the zeitgeist with Tron yet other Hollywood studios felt under siege from a new business model. “There isn’t a company in the US at the moment that isn’t hoping to get into videogames,” said Tron helmer Steven Lisberger in the autumn of 1982. “You hear it the...
Disney wasn’t happy about the dragons. Everyone knew that Don Bluth, a former animator at the studio, drew some of the best fire-breathing reptiles around, but after setting up his own animation studio with a bunch of ex-Disney renegades in the early ’80s, Bluth realised it was difficult to compete with Uncle Walt’s clout. Their first movie, The Se...
By 1984 almost every major Hollywood studio had a videogaming subsidiary. Tie-in games like Ghostbusters and Aliens on the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 did their best to bring the movies into your living room. In 1987 the aptly titled Cinemaware brought cinema-style adventures to the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST – a playable game of The Three Stoog...
When Segareleased its first CD-Rom drives in 1992, ‘Full Motion Video’ (FMV) was hailed as the future. Games like Wing Commander III, Night Trap and Rebel Assault featured FMV of real-life actors who the player controlled. “These games are like movies, with scripts almost two feet thick,” claimed Mark Hamill, who supplemented his Star Wars income p...
“It was par for the course,” reckons Annabel Jankel, co-director of Super Mario Bros. “Every comic book had been adapted into movies. It was inevitable to try and translate something like this to the screen.” Being a pioneer is sometimes lonely work, though, and big questions remained over how to turn a game into a movie experience. “We had this po...
Where do you draw the line between Hollywood and videogames? By the time Y2K arrived it was hard to tell. In the autumn of 2000, Sony unveiled the PlayStation 2. Punters queued for hours to get hold of the minimalist black boxes. It wasn’t just a games machine. It played CDs and DVDs. It was the hub of the living room. “The PlayStation 2 computer e...
In the last 10 years, the line between blockbuster games and blockbuster movies has continued to blur. Think of the epic sweep of Halo 3 or the narrative mastery of Grand Theft Auto IV’s sprawling story. Produced by teams that are as big as movie crews and with budgets to match, Blockbuster games are eating into blockbuster movies’ turf. At the sam...
But do movies and games really have to be locked in a PvP deathmatch? What if they’re destined for co-op play instead? Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Doom) thinks that could be the way forward. “It’s inevitable that we’re going to figure out how to do synergy eventually,” he says, although he admits that the idea of developing stories across both...

The issue with early video game adaptations was adapting video games was new to Hollywood so studios and filmmakers didn't know how to approach, like the infamous Super Mario movie. Early video games were story thin so there was little to work with. Even an adaptation I like, the Sonic SatAM animated series, used the video games as a basic ...
