During an interview with Videogamer, EA Montreal VP Alain Tascan expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming Army of Two movie](Gaming and Video Game News & Reviews | Engadget), most notably for Scott Z. Burns’ script. Tascan seems to be satisfied with what he’s seen so far, describing EA’s approach to the film as being quite hands-off. “We’re working together,” he said. “We explain what the world is about, what the missions are about, and then we leave the guy to do his job.”

While this shows confidence in Burns, Tascan seems worried about the effects of an overbearing game bible. “So far, when movies try to really respect the games they’re not always the best quality,” Tascan remarked.

I wonder if he means if movies try to remain faithful to the source material? I liked Resident Evil Degeneration and Final Fantasy Advent Children. Those were both made with CGI, which IMO is how they should make game movies. The best potential I've seen otherwise is with Halo shorts, which I felt turned out pretty good.

Historical Ladies you don't like but impressed of them.
