The saddest part about this is that there was a screenplay that followed the original game more and had all the characters in it, but they scraped it in favor of Alice in Zombieland.

I'm still a hopeless romantic longing for the day that a studio will come along and manage to find that balance we now have for comic book movies. I don't think they'll sell if it's solely made for gamers, though. I mean, MCU movies are considered the best around and I know several people in the comic book community who are sour they aren't all pitch perfect adaptations. But for this to work it involves the people on board actually giving a trout about the source material. Marvel's a special case since they have their own studio, but others have managed to get it done and comic book movies were in the same boat as video game movies in the past.
