Games and movies, movies and games

I generally disapprove of the whole make-a-movie-and-a-game trend that's been going on this last several years, but i have an itch that needs scratching.



Samurai 7 is an anime from 2004 , and it's a variation of the plot from the movie from Kurosawa with the same name. Basically 7 guys get together to defend a village , and beat the shit out of giant mechas in the process.
Think about it :
- Samurai AND Giant Robots. That's a huge fan-base out there , with an enormous potential for awesomness.
- 7 Different characters. Whether it's a RPG stat-based character system , or a beat-them-up mechanics , there is a vast potential in stereotyping the characters, each with his own fighting style , strengths and weaknesses, or w/e.
- The setting and enviroment are a combination from japanese feudal age and modern technocracy setting . That's a huge space for experimenting right there.

Anyway , just an idea . You have one?
