Sony Pictures has picked up movie rights for Rollercoaster Tycoon.

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/28546/Sony_Pictures_Animation_Picks_Up_Rights_For_Rollercoaster_Tycoon_Film.php

I love the game series, but a movie centered around it seems like a bad idea. Thoughts?

Gotta finish out the rest of the superlatives if you're going to single out intrigue.

It's going to be a movie about a psychotic amusement park owner who designs roller coasters that fly off the tracks and kill people, obviously.

i loved the series, but making a movie from it doesn't seem like a feasible idea...

how would the plot line go? some guy goes from nothing to a successful theme park?

Why couldn't they make a movie about rollercoasters. You could be riding Kingda Ca in 3d! Why the game though...

I remember playing this game when I was like 7

Couldn't beat that park where it was all extremely small and you needed a value of like $20,000, and I unlocked the maps up to the all-aqua ride park

I had fun using customers as guinea pigs to test my roller coasters. Screw the test feature!

Hahaha me too. Dinky park was so hard but I eventually beat it by only building Shuttle Loops.

After I beat the scenarios, I would make some sort of huge pit or island and drop "convict" guests which I caught throwing up or saying dumb shit about my park onto it to spend the rest of their lives in "prison".

Hope the filmmakers put this into the film!

Hollywood has been actually pretty good in making movies with no plot/story whatsoever... And why no action!? You make the viewer feel like he is on a rollercoaster, shake the camera a bit, make some flashy animations and you have the action... Of course I would never voluntarily see a movie like that, although since it is base on an epic pc game I might sea it for the lulz.

I could see a movie being made if they made it like two parties trying to compete with each other to have a better theme park and attract the customers. I wish they would have incorporated that into the actual game as a sort of multiplayer or something.
