I am honestly kinda skeptical. I am not convinced that it would translate well to the medium of film.
Well let's see all the movies that were based on Videogames...
Super Mario Bros. - Absolute rubbish
Resident Evil - Fanservice inc.
Silent Hill - Fanservice inc.
Tomb Raider - meh
Wreck-it-Ralph (I do count it as a movie based on videogame solely because it actually contains legit videogame chars, save for a few) - awesome as fuck
That Halo 4 direct to DVD movie - shitty as fuck, you should kil yaself
Tekken - ...
Street Fighter - ...
Mortal Kombat - WHY??? OH GOD WHY?!?!?!?

Overall: Unless he can pull off something like Wreck-it-Ralph, I highly doubt that it would do well (And I'm mentioning the notable games that got the movie treatment, I think there was more but these were the ones on top of my head) or it would get fanservice abuse.
