15 Movie Directors Who Should Make Games

Movie men who’d be perfect for making virtual worlds

Zack Snyder


The Games He Could Have Made: Killer7

Capcom’s batshit mad, grizzly shooter is one of the most inventive and visually striking games ever. Snyder’s history of ultra violent, stylised action films would have served him well on Killer7.  

Let’s face it, 300’s green screen fest is pretty much a video game already. We doubt working on a title about killing demons with burly assassins would have been that much of a leap.

Games He Could Make: We’re either thinking heavily stylised shooters in the mould of a XIII or artistically striking action titles, like No More Heroes.

He’s a comic book geek who loves cutting edge technology. Putting him and pixels together seems like a pretty snug fit to us.

Snyder also loves a bit of claret and, as unaccustomed as modern games are to violence, we’re sure they could adapt.

He’d also be a graphics whore’s dream. After all, if there’s one thing Snyder knows how to do, it’s beam purdy pictures onto our telly boxes.

      District 9 - thirty seconds to barbie a spleen? More like "blink and you'll miss it".

      I don't recall a Sam Raimi American Beauty! Come on Total Film! Do you actually watch films? Sam mendes would be the director the Kevin Spacey starrer.

      Personally I think they should make the Riddick games into movie.. anyway, Micheal Bay would do justice to 'Black' and (sorri to be a smart alec)Hayao Miyazaki would do Ico or Shadow of the Collussus proud...

      Firstly thank you for not trying to find someone to direct a Metal gear Solid film...Kojima is the ONLY person to do it. Tim Burton and Psychonauts would be a match made in heaven with the brilliant visual stylings of the game although not sure if his directing could pull off the big laughs you get in the game. The rest were obvious choices. How about someone to direct God of War? or maybe Uncharted?

      I'll direct God of War. It's the only sensible option...
