Twilight producer talks about videogames screen adaptations

"There was some promise in "Halo," which Peter Jackson was going to produce and "District 9" helmer Neill Blomkamp was going to direct. Until it fizzled out, that is. The next great hope on the horizon is "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time", which hits theaters next May.Jake Gyllenhaal, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) Promotional Artwork.

Both of these games have rich, well-developed stories. "Twilight" producer Wyck Godfrey, who has his hands on adaptations of "Gears of War" and "Dead Space", argues that the big problem with game adaptations thus far is related mostly to the source narratives.
"I feel like the video games are getting more sophisticated in terms of the storylines," he said in a recent interview with Collider. "Both 'Dead Space' and 'Gears of War' are games that have great storylines".
