As in, the movie feels like it would be a great adaptation of something like a book or game, even though it isn't technically.
My vote goes to either [REC] as being the best unofficial adaption of Resident Evil, or Event Horizon being the best adaptation of Dead Space (even though Dead Space came out a decade later).

Pirates of the Caribbean = Monkey Island
both are based on the same theme park attraction and the same Tim Powers' book
Blood Meridian
How was that trash even remotely similar to BM?
It mostly resembles the dude's novels like A congregation of jackals.
>or Event Horizon being the best adaptation of Dead Space (even though Dead Space came out a decade later).
You mean 40k, right?
Slightly different, but I’m fascinated by movies where the director put a lot of preproduction work into it, and then after it got cancelled you can see a lot of thematic or design similarities in their next work. Sometimes you have to squint, but other times they bring the same crews with them and it’s more obvious.
District 9 = Halo (similar weapons, South Africa setting, and Arby/Chief dynamic)
A Cure for Wellness = Bioshock (similar tone, plot, and atmosphere)
Pacific Rim = At the Mountains of Madness (lovecraftian kaiju portal, otherwise different)
Popeye = Hotel Transylvania 3 (sea-faring adventure and love interest has Popeye’s design)
Larrikins = The Bad Guys (DreamWorks movie originally set in Australian Outback, so they took all the animals designed for the film and re-used them)
>Pacific Rim = At the Mountains of Madness (lovecraftian kaiju portal, otherwise different)
Pac Rim and Pac Rim 2 together are Evangelion.
...
>Kaiju like Angels appeared out of nowhere, later discovered to be from some sub-surface level origin (I think in Eva they come from different places but many rise up)
>Kaiju, like Angels, appearances become more frequent as time goes on
>Mechs pilots have natural inherent genetic value which makes them ideal
>the Jaeger program is run by a clandestine entity like Evas and NERV
>Mech pilot suit helm when put on has a liquid phase that looks like some LCL flood
>Main male pilot has background of losing a family member which leaves him all alone (Shinji)
>Main female pilot is a quiet, reserved Japanese female with blue hair (Rei)
>one of the Jaeger looked a lot like Unit-00
>and that's just a few of the points that immediately came to mind for the first movie. Indubitably plenty more, especially if I thought hard on it.
...and the sequel took it further.
>the pilots are all children
>there's a really pretty young pilot from the European continent that is also really mean and it seems to largely be posturing around the fact that she bases her self worth on being a pilot (Asuka)
>the Jaeger all move far more quickly and fluidly, like an Eva Unit would
>there are mass produced Jaegers which are bio-mechanoid like Evas proper and become antagonistic because of alien genes or whatever, like the mass produced Evas did
>...and again, surely plenty more points to be made
>Cladestine entity is headed by a stern and humorless man who has a child that is one of the pilots
>Kaiju like Angels appeared out of nowhere, later discovered to be from some sub-surface level origin
They came from coffins on the moon.
>appearances become more frequent
I don't remember angels showing up at an accelerated rate.
>Mechs pilots have natural inherent genetic value
Evas weren't linked by genes, it was because they contained the souls of the pilots' mothers
I can see several of the similarities you pointed out, but NGE was hardly the first "giant robot vs giant monster" to come out of Japan, so I don't think it's fair to say that was the whole inspiration for PacRim.
Kaworu comes from the caskets iirc but Angels from all over. The first Angel in the series rises from the ocean, another later is shown coming into being inside a volcano, which incidentally is what the Kaiju are trying to reach in PR2.
Angel frequency did increase, I think. Could be wrong.
The fact that the mothers are in the Evas doesn't change the fact that relationship dictates a pilot's eligibility, Rei's case being quite different. You seem to be arguing that an adopted child may still be viable as a pilot for this reason and while I don't know there's any lore dispelling this, because why the frick would there be, I do feel confident in say you're moronic for that.
Elric of Melnibone
It's literally what happens in the Warhammer 40k "Warp".
Vodolazkin's Laurus
Nymphomaniac as the unofficial adaptation of OP’s mother’s life story.
I remember fapping all during the movie, sort of edging to the point your entire wiener is covered in precum, and after fapping slowly and zoning out for a bit I could feel I was close to cumming. I looked at the screen and the woman was about to get double blacked and I was inevitably going to cum at that point so I somehow tried rewinding the movie but still had one of the weakest ruined orgasms I've ever had in my life.
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Fantastic 4
The Fantastic Four but not gay cringe
unironically also a better Watchmen movie than the actual Watchmen movie
The Sandman
Is that Sammy's lil penis? He's just like me 🙂
I can't see any penis in webm, didn't he just cut it off?
This movie left me traumatized but now this just looks ridiculous. You can see the body suit thing he's wearing. Looks like a mid-tier cosplay.
>You can see the body suit thing he's wearing.
Because it is a cut, scene.
Event Horizon is obviously an adapt of 40k jesus christ man
Oh now I understand why they only showed him in seizure-inducingly quick close up shots
This thread is fricking moronic. REC is nothing like RE and EH is nothing like DS.
>Demonic possession zombies
That is the furthest thing from resident evil
Stalker = S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
This one would be debatable since it's based on the same story that the games are. It's essentially an adaptation without being a direct adaptation. I can't really think of another situation like this.
>Event Horizon being the best adaptation of Dead Space (even though Dead Space came out a decade later).
moron zoomer never post again
The writer of Event Horizon was a big 40k fan. The 40k stuff wasn't intentional, but kinda crept in. The sad part is that Event Horizon flopped. It flopped so badly, and the word of mouth was terrible, with a D CinemaScore. That is fricking awful. People were just not ready for the movie, and to be fair the movie also wasn't ready for release but they pushed it out to make way for Titanic. There's a spiritual successor that the director produced called Pandorum that you should check out.
Didn't they had to cut a ton of scenes too in order to release it? A bunch of hell dimension scenes I think
30 minutes
The movie tested poorly, and the studio told them to cut the movie down by about 30 minutes. Normally the movie would have lost like 10 minutes in the normal editing process. But the studio mandated more cuts and the whole production timeline was accelerated so the audio mix wasn't finished, they were editing while they were shooting, and because the film flopped the studio didn't take proper care of the footage and then desperately looked for it when they realized the film was doing really well on VHS.
I'm pretty sure they found the deleted scenes, but they didn't find the negatives. The deleted scenes were on VHS, but deemed too low quality to release.
>then desperately looked for it when they realized the film was doing really well on VHS.
Yeah what is the deal with this? Frequently happens to vidya source code or core asset libraries too. Is it really too much effort to have a simple archiving procedure of storing material from the production, as it comes, in simple systematic backups that can later be stored (read: showed into the closet in a separate cardboard box).
>Dead Space
bait
The Matrix is basically a rip-off of Neuromancer with a worse plot and less interesting main character.
>Matrix is basically a rip-off of Neuromancer
How?
Just read Neuromancer. The Matrix as a construct was lifted from the novel, name included. The parts of the story about rogue AI wanting freedom is a key plot point of the novel. Neo is just a cleaner, greener, much less interesting Case mixed with some Jesus stuff. Trinity is a knock-off of Molly. Uploading skills, including literally piloting and kung-fu, directly to brains (though this is more correlated with the other Sprawl trilogy books, perhaps) was taken from the book(s). Zion in The Matrix is clearly taken from the colony of the same name in Neuromancer and even has important pilot characters from there that are POC.
It isn't 100% 1-for-1, but The Matrix stole or took and mildly altered a ton of things from Gibson's novel and the Sprawl trilogy as a whole. Except Gibson's books have much better world building, characters, and general story. Things divert more after the first movie, but it is still pretty clear that they took a lot of ideas from Neuromancer rather than just inspiration.
Event Horizon is directly related to Warhammer 40k as per the writer
Event Horizon is not directly related to Warhammer 40k as per the writer
Rise of Skywalker feels like a Bethesda game adaptation.
Just an endless fetchquest.
Twin Peaks = Deadly Premonition
Evangelion without the evas and main plot, but still the character drama.
Apocalypse Now is unironically as good an 'adaptation' of Heart of Darkness as we'll ever gonna get.
Vietnam as the setting just worked
Blood siren. Not because of the sightjacking mechanic but monster type and behavior.
The Iron Giant is just a Superman movie and not the Snyder kind.
How can anyone be so stupidly moronic? Event Horizon is Warhammer40k universe copy paste, wtf are you talking about dead space? Is this bait? It must be right?
>Event Horizon being the best adaptation of Dead Space
The shit you people write sometime. It is well known it took inspiration from Warhammer. The writer isn't even hiding it.
