with handfuls of actually decent video game movies in the last decade, maybe Uwe Boll wasn't the bellwether and it's possible. so pitch yours here, along with the director you want to see pull it off.

DIG DUG - Directed by Takashi Miike

A disheveled man wakes up underground in an spelunking outfit with spelunking tools and an air pump. Fygars and Pookas emerge around him. At first he runs from them, but then is forced to use a sadistic form of violence to stay alive. midway through, the viewer begins to ask - who is the bad guy? Ken Watanabe plays a business executive who secretly organized this torture as Dig Dug wronged him years ago.

I would pay good money to see a live-action adaptation of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion that only uses the original dialogue, e.g.:

It could be called I've Been Better. It would be an absurdist portrait of loneliness and dysfunction.

I've said it before, I'll say it again, but a Hideo Mayazaki adaptation of the Nic Cage film Mandy is begging to be made.
Wandering around a star-spangled forest with a double-length chainsaw, swigging vodka and psychedelic elixirs, fighting cultists and demon motorcyclists. It would be amazing

Miike has already done Phoenix Wright and Like a Dragon so I guess I'm good unless he decides to do a Danganronpa movie

Actually Sion Sono could do Danganronpa, that would be a treat

I could get with Wang Bing's Stardew Valley

*Hidetaka, not Hideo. God what's wrong with me tonight / all my life?

Although Mandy as a Studio Ghibli film? I can kind of see it
