It's a bit pathetic that Hollywood is so married to brand recognition that stunts like this get pulled. Every movie that comes out is a sequel of something else, or an adaptation of an already recognizable intellectual property. It's gonna make it real tough for new storytellers to get the support to tell new stories.

See, the new formula in Hollywood goes like this: You don't want to risk being creative, so you base yourself off a book or, nowadays, a comic book. Otherwise, do a remake/reboot. Creativity is for french art cinema.
In videogames, the formula goes something more like: Make something you've seen in Hollywood (explosions, car chase, slow mo), make a sequel to squeeze more money. If all else fails, do a remake of an old classic. Creativity is for the Indie crowd.

Producer: "Guys, our movie "Stop the Wonder Weapon" got terrible scores from the screening test. If we release it in theatres, we'll lose even more money. Let's do a straight to Blu-Ray/DVD release."
Producer #2: "Yeah, we're gonna have to bite the bullet on this one. Hey! Video games are hot! There are tons of WW2 video games. My son loves Return of Castle Wolfenstein on the Nintendo. Maybe we could attach it to some video game?"
Producer: "Fantastic idea! I'll call around to see if there are intellectual rights for a WW2 game that are cheap enough to fit our budget. Then we'll just name it after the game and all the gamers will buy it on amazon! There's hope for us yet!"

So, was there a meeting in L.A. that went something like this?
Producer: "Guys, our movie "Stop the Wonder Weapon" got terrible scores from the screening test. If we release it in theatres, we'll lose even more money. Let's do a straight to Blu-Ray/DVD release."
Producer #2: "Yeah, we're gonna have to bite the bullet on this one. Hey! Video games are hot! There are tons of WW2 video games. My son loves Return of Castle Wolfenstein on the Nintendo. Maybe we could attach it to some video game?"
Producer: "Fantastic idea! I'll call around to see if there are intellectual rights for a WW2 game that are cheap enough to fit our budget. Then we'll just name it after the game and all the gamers will buy it on amazon! There's hope for us yet!"
The fact that, sans dramatization, this could be very accurate, frightens me.
I'm willing to bet sometimes these movies are done for fiscal reasons, as well as to produce quick stuff they are forced from contracts (sometimes even actors need to pull a certain amount of movies in a given time, as stated in their contract, and thats how they end up in shitty stuff).
