M. Night Shymalan made some great movies about God but he put in bad langauge. One of these was called "Wide Awake". Wide Awake is to understand love and to believe in God, or that's how I would put it, or maybe rather lets say "Wide Awake" is when love and God is our your relality. Anyways I think we should make a game called "Wide Awake". It does not have to follow anything in the movie, but I would request some similiar names. Also we should definetly put in angel boy. If you haven't seen the movie then please do so you'll understand what I mean. In the game we should probably have four different paths one is the girl because I can't leave her out, the second is the main boy in the movie, the third his best friend, and the fourth his enemy. I really can't do it myself because im only 13 but I could try and write the script, please tell me what you think about my idea.

There are some good movies that have a little language in them. One of my favorites is "Who is Simon Burch". Awesome movie, but a few bouts of profanity. I don't let the language stop me from getting the message.

That happens sometimes with people. I will check this movie out.

Every game ive ever seen or played that was modeled after a movie sucked. Much like movies modeled after games often times (well always) suck! The vision just never seems to carry over. BTW are you sure the guy wasnt cathlic or morman?

well, Enter the Matrix was pretty cool...
Tho, the Wachowski brothers were really in it and stuff...

There are some great movies and books to make games from...
(like Frank E. Peretti's This Present Darkness)
It's not easy, tho.

Never heard of Wide Awake... tho I like Unbreakable and Signs by M.Night Shymalan.

Catholic maybe but definetly not Mormon. Catholics follow the same God like Jews but they don't believe in Jesus the same way. It doesn't matter too much, we can have him Christian in our game. P.S. on third day cd offerings let song 11 keep running and you'll find a extra song, not by third day or maybe it was by a different member. Also the angel is a messenger and a helper in the movie, but his angelic identity is not known till the end. No one else can see him only Joshua (the main character in the movie), but Joshua thinks he's a regular kid.

i don't know M. Night Shymalan's beliefs but i do like his skills, he brings out the issues of life, and spiritual questions... I think he is more of 'searcher', so pray for his salvation , for people to come into His life that will bear witness of Christ to him..

very inresting stories, like the six senth, unbreakable , the one you mention and signs..

like to me though signs was about aliens - the main story was really touching on issues of destiny, predesination , purpose in life, and gaining and losing faith.. I don't think he is catholic , but he is a man searching spiritually..

watch out for copyright issues..
using the same name and containing characters from the movie, and a similar plot will not just a cooincidence, and you'd be breaking copyright wihtout getting licensing agreements from the copyright holders of that movie...
