George A. Romero
The Game He Could Have Made: Dead Rising
Bloody, tongue-in-cheek, with a wry, daft sense of humour, Capcom's zombie-fest is already the perfect companion to his Dead series. It simply couldn’t be anymore up Romero’s decomposing alley.
Let’s be honest, there’s no way a game where you’ve got to survive in a confined space against a mall full of zombies wouldn’t have benefited from his input.
Games He Should Make: Probably something to do with shooting undead folk in their rotting faces. We hear something called Resident Evil made it popular.
As the Grandfather of the Zombie, George would be perfectly placed to work with virtual shuffling hordes of the living challenged. Left 4 Dead, Resi and Dead Rising would all be rife for a Romero collaboration.
He’s also open-minded to working in video games. And he even lent his name to 2003 zombie shooter City of the Dead, which was canned before it saw release.
Next: John Woo

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...
