THQ has hired Hollywood's United Talent Agency to spearhead its effort to make a movie based on its recently released DESTROY ALL HUMANS!

The game consists of players taking on the role of aliens sent to Earth to control humans and harvest their brain stems before destroying them.

UTA will guide the project through its development into major motion picture and television projects.

Tim Burton already made this movie. It was called Mars Attacks. Sheesh.

Yeah, but maybe this one can be from the Martian's point of view. That would be unique. Every other Alien film I've seen is about humans overcoming disaster. Maybe this one can be about humans getting whiped out. There is no happy ending. But sadley, we all know this will never happen. Tsk Tsk.

Sorry, but the differences between this and Mars Attacks are trivial. If made, it would be a carbon copy of Burton's film.

Um, Gee,Ooo,Ah, I'll take selling out to Hollywood for $500 Alex. This game was a spoof of cheesy movies of yesteryear. It was fun, it was original, and it was a nice distraction in between major release games. So my question would be, why make a movie based off of a game thats based off of bad movies? Why not save everyone the hassle and have Roger Corman do a remake of Ed Wood's plan 9 From Outer Space. Why sully the name of an above average but not so special video game. WHY ON EARTH IS THIS MOVIE BEING MADE!?!?! Whats next the threatrical presentation of KATAMARI DAMACY? At least that would have some basis in originality...

At least a film version of Katamari, while completely ridiculous, would be more worth watching than Humans.

Heck yes! The King of the Cosmos played by Affleck complete with Run D.M.C. record scratches as his voice! And that talking baby from the Quiznos commercials could be the young prince! And the plot would revolve around them rolling up a big ball made of all the writers, directors, producers and scientologists (since really that is 80% of L.A. in those 4 categories) and then they would shoot the big ball of junk-food class humans into space to make an astral body as punishment for coming up with ideas like a Destroy All Humans Movie...oh and a smurf trilogy....um and Gigli.....

This is a dumb idea by a company who strives in dumb games. The only reason they (THQ) are thinking about making it is to promote their games... because their games have no creativity and they spend more money on marketing than development. Every time I buy one of their games, I'm disappointed. I no longer buy their games and I will not pay to see this movie that Tim Burton already did so well. Bad idea. Worse company.

I hear the producers will offer free rectal probes with each paid admission.

I wonder it it's the voice of "The Robot" from "Lost in Space".

"Destroy All Humans!!!"
"Destroy Navigational Control!!!"
"Destroy the Jupiter Two!!!"

Now that would be a cool voiceover.
