What movie has been developed following the plot from a video game? Except Prince of Persia.
Today’s video games are usually developed after different movies. Some examples are: Clash of the Titans, Avatar, Shrek Forever After. The list continues…however; I was wondering if there is any movie (except Prince of Persia) released or under development, following the plot (storyline) of a video game. Obviously, some of the video games available today have storylines more interesting than books. I’m really interested to see such a movie. Is Prince of Persia the only one?

great answer! :) thank you!
The director Uwe Boll is well known for making movies based off video games. Unfortunately he also has a reputation for making really bad adaptations.
From Wikipedia:
"Boll is best-known for adapting video games into movies, having directed and produced a number of such adaptations, including House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, Alone in the Dark II, BloodRayne, BloodRayne II: Deliverance,4 In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, Postal and most recently Far Cry. Boll intends to produce a third movie based on the BloodRayne franchise.5 Boll also made a bid to direct the upcoming Warcraft movie, but was turned away by the owners of the Warcraft franchise, Blizzard Entertainment.6"

I dunno... there are a lot based on video games, but ones that actually follow the plot? Rare.
This is actually my biggest problem with video game movies - Silent Hill disgusted me because when it went into production, there were three Silent Hill games out, all of which had fantastic plots, and instead, they write this whole new one, throw a bunch of images from the game at you, and then rain blood on a dancing little girl. None of it had a darn thing to do with the Silent Hill games.
The Tomb Raider movies (the first one, at least) were a rare example of going off the plot of the games and staying true to the game series.
And don't get me started on Super Mario Brothers... I want to slap Bob Hoskins for dignifying that movie with his presence.
