DO YOU LIKE MOVIES AND VIDEO GAMES? IN THIS BOOK YOU WILL ENJOY MOVIES BASED ON VIRTUAL GAMES!

Movies and video games are two entertainment mediums that bill millions of dollars every year. Often, both media try to merge, trying to enhance each other and multiply profits. But this is not always the case. Many titles have been able to share format successfully, such as the Tomb Raider, Sonic or Resident Evil sagas, but throughout history there have been unexpected failures such as Street Fighter, Assassin's Creed, without forgetting the first adaptation of Super Mario Bros. Adapting a video game to the big screen is a very complicated task that is addressed throughout these pages.

The main core and objective of this book is to list all the movies based on video games, analyzed so that you do not miss any of them and can enjoy them in a contextualized way and with a knowledge that allows you to approach the film as something more than a mere entertainment product.

In addition, this book reflects on the difficulty of converting a video game into a film, the aspects to take into account and what elements should be prioritized so that the fusion of these two types of art can achieve success. In this way, you will be able to delve deeper into this cinematic subgenre and be able to enjoy it to a greater degree.
