New Line Cinema producer John Rickard has stated that he "believes that technology has advanced enough that the possibility exists to make a smartly-budgeted monster movie in the vein and tone of Ghostbusters and Independence Day", stating that the framework set out by Rampage fits the bill extremely well.
Rampage began as a 1986 arcade game by Bally Midway, which became popular and was ported to home consoles such as the Nintendo Entertainment System, Atari 2600, SEGA Master System, MS-DOS and others. The series was followed up in 1997, 11 years later, with Rampage: World Tour, which was released for arcades, PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color, as well as other systems. Another game, Rampage: Universal Tour, was released in 1999, followed by Rampage Through Time in 2000. The most recent installment was 2006's Rampage: Total Destruction, released for GameCube, Wii and PlayStation 2. Here are some videos.

What are your thoughts? Personally, I'm game. I love Rampage, and seeing a monster movie done in the style they're saying using the Rampage framework sounds like an excellent idea.
