Yep that's right folks the great minds in Hollywood actually think this will be a winning idea and do well -_-

Not that I don't have any faith in movies these days ( Rolling Eyes

) but colour me curious...doesn't anyone in Hollywood ever actually learn anything!? with all the remakes, reboots, re-imaginings and sequel excesses that fail on a regular basis is THIS really gonna make things any better??

Now don't get me wrong I LOVED the game waaaaaaay back in the 80's, any of the Americans here recall 'Showbiz Pizza'?? hehe I used to live in the US when I was 8yrs old and we went there allot, played Rampage tonnes...along with Gauntlet , Spyhunter and Commando , kapow! Wink

As for a film....hmmmmmmmmm I think we all know what's gonna happen here don't we, we can all guess. My guess is a HUGE cgi, explosion filled glossy flick full of pretty young people and probably somehow including alien origins haha. Pretty much 'Battleship' with Godzilla style monsters.

Again, I would like to cast a vote for the 'Evil Dead' approach, a nice dark horror comedy maybe even directed by Raimi himself Smile

there is allot of silly gore humour in Rampage , 'Beetlejuice' style.
Lets be honest here if this is all we are gonna get these days, or the majority of what we are gonna get, then lets at least make some stuff for the more mature audiences so it MAY have half a chance of being half decent.

(Speaking of Spyhunter wasn't there a film of that with Dwayne Johnson being made? what happened to that?)
