EverQuest
The huge online role playing game is currently in the hands of writer Michael ‘300’ Gordon, who is penning a screenplay for a potential 2010 film.

Max Payne
Personally, I love the Max Payne games, and consider it a blight on the face of gamers everywhere that they weren’t more popular. But they’re very movie friendly, and that’s why filming has now commenced on a movie that may yet re-start the gaming franchise, too. Mark Wahlberg is starring, and John Moore (not the one who writes for us, rather the one who remade The Omen) is directing.

Kane & Lynch
Eidos’s 2007 game seemed to be made with the big screen in mind, and thus Lionsgate has picked up the tale of two Death Row inmates on the run. Jieho Lee is in negotiations to direct the film, which could move into production this year.

Gears of War
Underworld and Die Hard 4.0 director Len Wiseman is being linked with a live action version of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 hit game. Stuart Beattie is currently writing a screenplay (his credits include Pirates of the Caribbean, Collateral and the upcoming Spy Hunter). It’s still in the early stages of production, though.

Spy Hunter
Talking of Spy Hunter, the classic 80s arcade game (which re-emerged reasonably recently) is also being scribed by Stuart Beattie for the big screen treatment. Paul W S Anderson is down to direct the film, which is still at the writing stage.

Halo
Peter Jackson was linked to the project once upon a time, and Alex Garland has been working on a script. Yet the whole project seemed to hit the buffers last year, and thus far, there’s little sign of it coming back to life. Proposed director Neill Bloomkamp stated that he though the project was dead last Autumn, and he could well be right…

Prince of Persia Sands Of Time
Brit director Mike Newell has signed on the dotted line for the big screen Prince Of Persia outing, which has original creator Jordan Mechner involved in the script. Jerry Bruckheimer is producing, and the film is now in pre-production. Cast is yet to be confirmed, but it’ll be on the screen next year.

Splinter Cell
A film based on the Tom Clancy-branded stealth/action game is in the early negotiations stage right now. That’s make a finished product some way away…

Mortal Kombat
Another film in one of the more successful videogame franchises, this one has Christopher Lambert rumoured to be attached, but no script so far. Doesn’t usually stop them where game-to-film adaptations are concerned…

Metal Gear Solid
The game that pretty much popularised the stealth genre in games is coming to cinema screens, possibly as early as next year. Michael De Luca – who also has Ghost Rider on his CV – is producing, but no cast or director details yet.

Devil May Cry
Capcom has apparently signalled its attention for a film to be made around another one of its popular franchises (after Resident Evil), and while little else is known about the Devil May Cry movie project, 2010 has been pencilled in for its release.

Rainbow Six
John Woo is producing, but seemingly not directing, a movie adaptation of another Tom Clancy-branded videogame franchise. Rainbow Six is a bit more action packed, mind. Zach Snyder was attached, but apparently isn’t any more.

Broken Sword: The Shadow Of The Templars
The adventure game series is ripe for a film, and so one is being written right about now. Charles Cecil – who created the series – is attached as Executive Producer, and a 2009 released is planned.

Mark Wahlberg is an odd choice for Max Payne. He's got the tough-guy thing, but not the dealing with emotional scars and inner demons thing. Also, I haven't heard anything about the Splinter Cell movie in like 3 years, so I don't know how reliable this list really is. Wasn't the Halo movie put on hold because no one wanted to fund it?

Devil May Cry don't need a movie, it already have a good anime.
MGS can't be a movie if they don't have David Hayter playing as Snake.

MGS would be the perfect game to make a movie from, I just wish that Kojima would direct it but then he would struggle to get funding as it would be his first film. Also David Hayter is a must, even if they dub his voice over another actor.

Halo movie would be pretty awesome, very surprised no one wanted to fund it...

Dub MGS like in Kung POW! haha^^ that'll look both funny and stupid^^

the following has been confirmed since all of these rumours:

Mark Wahlberg is not playing Max Payne

The Halo movie was axed after pre-production

The Metal Gear Movie was a rumour, Hideo Kojima has not yet sold the movie rights to anyone nor has he begun a movie project himself, the latter being the most realistic hope we have of a Metal Gear movie and it will probably be a project for him and his team to consider once Metal Gear 4 is out of the way.

The gears of war movie however isn't a rumour I've read about the project a while back.

MGS would be amazing...David Hayter would have to do the voice, but he doesn't have the physical figure for the actual screen acting.
