Edward Carnby, detective of the paranormal, unexplained and supernatural, investigates a mystery (the recent death of a friend) with clues leading to "Shadow Island" that brings him face to face with bizarre horrors that prove both psychologically disturbing and lethal, as he discovers that evil demons worshiped by an ancient culture called the Abskani are planning on coming back to life in the 21st century to once again take over the world... and only he and a young genius anthropologist with an incredible memory (and his ex-girlfriend), Aline Cedrac, stand in their way, at a gateway to hell. Standing in Carnby's way, however, is the impact that a brief encounter with an evil spirit called the Queen had upon his mind, as he slowly finds himself overpowered by the forces of darkness as they eat away at his very sanity...

Based on the 1993 game by Interplay (which itself was inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft), Alone in the Dark was one of the first successful"3rd person" style games - a style which would later become associated with the Tomb Raider and Resident Evil games. The game (along with its two follow ups) saw the main characters exploring mysterious locations (from mansions and cemeteries to ghost towns) filled with puzzles, traps, and nightmarish creatures. Eventually solving the mystery behind the menacing supernatural activity. The film is currently in post-production and will star Christian Slater, Tara Reid and Stephen Dorff, and you can expect plenty of ghosts and demons to co-star!

After Liu Kang, Sonya, and Jax defeated the forces of Outworld and prevented its merger with Earth, Shang Tsung exacts his revenge by forming an alliance with the powerful sorcerer Quan Chi. Together, they open a portal to Earth in a bid for ultimate domination. Lord Rayden, now an elder god, becomes dismayed by this horrific turn of events and calls forth the warriors of Mortal Kombat once more. Discovering a loophole in the rules of the tournament, and needing every ounce of help he can get, Rayden summons forth the soul of deceased warrior Johnny Cage and resurrects him so that he may join his fellow fighters and send Shang Tsung and his allies back to hell once and for all.

Yes it had to happen - once interest in game to movie conversions started again the Mortal Kombat films were sure to raise there heads once more to cash in. No cast lists have yet been announced, but naturally rumours of the cast from the first 2 films (including Christopher Lambert) are already circulating. How true these are, only time will tell.

Former F-15 pilot Alec Sects is recruited to become a member of a government agency called International Espionage Services (IES), specifically joining an elite group called the Spy Hunters. Piloting an experimental battle-car, the G-6155 Interceptor, with all varieties of weapons and gimmicks (including the ability to transform into a speed boat or a super-fast motorcycle), Sects and his fellow Spy Hunters are given the assignment of defeating Daemon Curry, the evil president of a cartel called NOSTRA International, which has plans of world domination. Of course, the bad guys have their own souped-up weapon-packed vehicles, and they don't like being "hunted".

Directed by John Woo (Face/off, Mission Impossible 2) and set to star WWE's The Rock (The Scorpion King) in the title roll, you can expect plenty of mindless violence, explosions and at least one chase sequence involving a bike and/or boat (probably both in this case considering the nature of the spy car!). The chase sequences will naturally be long drawn out affairs, usually leading to the audience wishing those involved would just hurry up and kill each other so the film can carry on. So expect an all action no brainer when it eventually appears.

An adaptation of the first-person-shooter video game where Jack Carver, a retired ocean patrol cop who now transports people and cargo to various islands, goes through hell when his boat blows up off the coast of an uncharted Micronesian island. His goal is to simply survive and to rescue a female reporter who had tagged along on the trip but was kidnapped by mercenaries who protect a laboratory hidden somewhere on the island.

The most recent game being adapted to the big screen, Far Cry was only released in 2003 and was an instant hit. How well first person shooters will translate to the big screen remains to be seen. No cast has yet been announced.
