Why aren't more games turned into movies?

I've been watching the athletics recently, believe it was based on Daley Thompson's Decathlon

Wasn't that "Track and Field"? Or am I showing my age?

They've done something based on FIFA

I think it was called the Usual Suspects

All these movies made from the Lego games are pretty good, Star Wars, Pirates, Marvel, Indiana Jones

On a serious note I reckon a couple of the GTA games would be good, though may end up a bit like a Fast and Furious film.

Dead Space has potential.

Could go uber geeky and do a Gran Turismo/ Forza film where the guy starts off as an avid track day guy with a civic and through some epic car porn ends up racing protoypes at LeMans

Dead Space would be amazing! I'm imagining some sort of cross between Resident Evil and Event Horizon!

No Sam Neill though
