We've frequently been addled with this thought: Why hasn't anyone made a movie starring Keith David and a dude dressed up like a hot dog, who wander around large metropolitan areas indiscriminately shooting vehicles, buildings and people with rocket launchers? That is a movie we'd pay well over the standard ticket price to see ... and we might soon have our chance! In a recent interview with Gamasutra, THQ CEO Brian Farrell revealed that the company will announce a Saint's Row movie sometime next month.
Though no details about the film were revealed, Farrell said the plan is to make sure the film and the next installment in the over-the-top crime series will release at the same time, saying "this builds our brand at no cost to us." Sure, it does -- unless the film is like, wicked bad. Like, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever bad. Like, Alone in the Dark bad.

This had better be focused on The Adventures of Johnny Gat, the most badassinest mo'fo' ever.

Don't compare Ecks vs Sever to Alone in the Dark. AinD was WAY worse. At least Ecks was remotely watchable.
And at the risk of being voted down, i enjoyed Saints Row 2 more than GTAIV.....and i don't know why.

While GTA took a turn towards the serious and realistic with GTA4, SR2 wholly embraced the absurd and fun things people tend to do in sandbox games. And the fact that you can do everything in the game co-op is just amazing and unique.

Looks like a collegehumor.com spoof of Left 4 Dead 6 Part 2.

Man I can only guess how bad this is gonna be.

I can actually see this being good, potentially. They can take a lot of liberties with the loose storyline, and there's plenty of room for humor if done right. Not expecting much, but I think it's got a good chance of being better than any Silent Hill movie that is due next. It seems like a good starting point for a movie adaptation, a game that doesn't take itself too seriously makes room for a movie that doesn't have to take itself too seriously.
Right, yes, I know, it'll likely suck.
