Dante’s Inferno: A Movie Based On A Video Game Based On A Poem
Sometimes the ideas these movie people come up with, they’re just too crazy for words. But I’ll try.
The Divine Comedy is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri back, oh, in the 1300’s. It’s considered one of the world’s greatest works of literature. Inferno represents the first third of the book and details Dante’s journey through Hell, all nine circles of that bitch. Dante and his guide Virgil get to meet and chat up all sorts of sinners and monsters along the way.
Although it’s not an action/adventure story and there’s no battle to speak of, you could see why someone would want to make this a video game.

Rebooting Tomb Raider- The Movie, Not The Game
Do you happen to remember the movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider? How about Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life? Yes? No? Doesn’t matter, they’re starting from scratch.
When Time Warner upped it’s stake in video game publisher Eidos in December, the film rights to Tomb Raider were part of the deal. Now they’ve announced the rebooting of the Tomb Raider movie franchise, replete with a reworking of the Lara Croft character- new back-story, villains, love interests, yippee! I mean that whole thing with her being a rich English adventurer following in the footsteps of her dad was sooooo tired. It totally needs a revamp because… who the hell knows? A total whitewashing of the franchise/character appears to be the only hope for the another Tomb Raider movie.
It’s not like I enjoyed either of the previous movies all
