Choose a game with a strong narrative. Not every game has enough substance to be an entire movie/series. (looking at you Rampage)

Play the fuckin' game and hire people who loved it. Or better yet hire people that actually made it.

Don't cheap out on it. If you don't believe in it enough to put real money on the line, don't do it at all.

Take your time. Even a short video game can be 8-12 hours of content. Don't try to cram it all into a 2 hour movie.

Understand the difference between video games and film as a medium. It's one thing to watch a character do something, it's entirely different to be the one doing it, but the emotion needs to translate all the same.

Video games are more than just splashy effects. Even the best VFX won't save poorly developed characters and shoddy writing.
