What makes a person like Uwe Boll sit down and say; "Hmm, my last movie was the worst piece of crap ever to hit movie theaters. I think I'll make Alone in the Dark next!" I had high hopes for a dead or alive movie only because there was a lot of room in the plot for something magical to happen. It's also for this reason that I was truly afraid it would be screwed up by an overzealous producer. Games like DOA hold lots of promise when it comes to making a movie, but it's the idiots that change and screw with the little plot that a game has that totally dissapoints fans in a box office release. My guess is that hollywood thinks: "Well, they've played the whole game already, so why not give them something fresh, something new?" Our minds are made for us and we're inturn given a pile of slop.
