So I have a question for the community.  Would you be interested in a web series where they take lesser known videogames and turn them into movie trailers? 

I have had this idea rolling around in my head for about a decade and figure it is about time to jump on it.  I am about to start a film troupe  similar in the back of the house to Monty Python, but not in what is produced.  One of the things I have wanted to do for a long time is take lesser known games and turn them into trailers.  Something like Deja vu in the style of film noir or Hybrid Heaven in the style of a modern scifi movie.  These would not be specifically comical bits, ala Mega 64, but trailers that are trying to look as professional as possible. 

I already have another gaming related film project in the pipe  it is big and if it works will be awesome, but I am curious to the interest in this idea.  I think I am going to do Deja vu regardless, but beyond that is up in the air. 

Your thoughts?

I like the idea a lot -- but I'm not sure if you mean you're going to use images from the actual games, or actors?
 
@noiseredux: I would use actors on sets that look as close to the original as I can get.

A friend gave me the idea of doing a Masterpiece Theater like show for bad FMV games.  That one is just funny to me.
 
I'd watch!
 
I actually have plans in the works to do runs of video games and have commentary in the vein of MST 3000. We did a test run of StarTropics, and the first hour of it has been hilarious.
