let's see if Hollywood can get these
ones right name's Dave with WatchMojo
and today we're counting down our picks
for the top 10 video game movies in
development right now for this list
we're looking at the 10 biggest video
game movies that are currently being
worked on some though are a lot further
along in development than others and
these are the ones however the best
potential not that tetris 1 seriously
why are you making a tetris movie it
looks like Drake and our German pals
were after the same treasure I've got
the map that's gonna lead us right to it
number 10 Monster Hunter
[Music]
Capcom's action RPG series tox players
with slang fantastical monsters in order
to build new armor and weapons but the
upcoming movie sounds like a loose
adaptation it will feature a military
team sent to investigate a portal by the
United Nations only when they enter it
they'll be transported to an alternate
universe to find the monsters that make
the game thing oh my god what that's
strike one and Paul WS Anderson from the
Resident Evil films is writing and
directing ok strike two strike two and
he's returning to star with wife Millie
yo vich oh my god really really come on
ok on the plus side there is an
impressive supporting cast with Tony Jaa
Ti and Ron Perlman and Ron Perlman is
awesome I mean who knows maybe supreme
gems will have another successful
franchise on their hands but can you
guess why this is only 10 oh my god
until then my work is not done number 9
the division
there have already been several
successful films based on author Tom
Clancy's works so another one shouldn't
surprise us but what makes this project
more interesting is how linked to the
video game adaptation it is Ubisoft is
partnering with Netflix to bring the
division movie to life Jake Gyllenhaal
and Jessica Chastain will star as well
as produce while david leitch of
deadpool - theme will be directing the
first game focused on a group of us
sleeper agents as they assist the senior
in New York during a terrace led
outbreak of a genetically enhanced super
virus in New York City and with the
amount Alan Dory attached we can expect
it to be just as thrilling as the games
which in hindsight isn't really that
thrilling oh and introduce yourself to
the locals while you're at it it'll come
for them to know there's a new sheriff
in town number 8 minecraft the movie
aside from a telltale spin-off minecraft
a game about building whatever you want
doesn't exactly feature a strong plot
despite this a feature film adaptation
has been in development by Warner
Brothers since 2014 oh boy it came close
to furro seen with director Shawn Levy
and a set release of 2019 but creative
differences with developer Mojang called
Celebi to drop out several writers and
directors later Wonder Brothers has
pushed it back to March 4th 2022 to
rework the story with writer director
peter sollett the first film will focus
on a teenage girl and a band of
adventurers that say try to save the
world from an ender dragon it may seem
strange to make a Minecraft movie but
Warner Brothers was able to make Legos
work so I'll give him the benefit of the
doubt well technically I'm not exactly a
masterbuilder yet watch
please everyone everyone number seven
Metal Gear Solid L yeah
[Music]
it isn't often another video game movie
gets a director who's a fan of the
source material
luckily the male via solar movie has
Jordan Burt Roberts as director the Kong
Skull Island director has made his
passion for the series clear since
joining in 2017 he even left a mail gear
solid reference in Kong Skull Island
with the gray fox boat name he even met
and got approval by series creator Hideo
Kojima which is good got it
okay I'm ready to go Roberts is teaming
up with Kong writer Derek Connolly who
also penned 2019 detective Pikachu and
as of December 2019 the draft has been
completed we've seen video games being
turned into cash grab movies time and
time again but it seems like the Legion
of passionate fans behind this
decades-old action stealth series can
rest easy I mean it can't be worse than
Konami 's last attempt
[Music]
number six Mega Man with as many games
comics and animated TV shows this series
has received it's honestly a little
surprising a movie hasn't been made and
it's a pretty much Astro Boy all in good
time in 2015 20th Century Fox entered an
agreement with churnin Entertainment and
Capcom to bring the Blue Bomber to the
big screen two years later Henry juiced
in Arial skull Minh the same team behind
paranormal activity 3 and nerve were
brought on to write and direct the
live-action adaptation was put into
jeopardy
during the Disney Fox merger though
Capcom claims it's still coming it might
be some time before we get any more news
about the project but with other Capcom
franchises also being made into movies
like that other one I got angry about it
doesn't seem like they'll let this one
go so easily
[Music]
number five tomb raider two
given how 28 genes Tomb Raider was one
of the more successful video game movies
it shucked absolutely no one when a
sequel was greenlit the first heavily
relied on the 2013 reboot of the game
series to tell its story along with
elements of rise of the Tomb Raider and
it left plenty of room for the sequel
with the villainous organization known
as Trinity things will be a bit
different behind the scenes as the
writer and director team of ami jump and
ben wheatley will be in charge this time
around reportedly the plot will be
adapting elements from both rise and
shadow with the Tomb Raider and with
Alicia vikander spheres performance
being the best part of the first movie
with her back
we know Lara Croft is in good hands
number 4 Resident Evil another capcom
film
okay one could argue that Capcom's
survival horror series has already
received enough fill annotations however
it could not be argued that those films
have been faithful
hence my earlier frustration german
production company Constantin film
announced the reboot in 2017 and the
project has surprisingly moved along
relatively smoothly since then Johannes
Roberts has signed on to write and
direct in 2018 he's already made a name
for himself in mainstream horror films
like 47 meters down and the strangers
pray at night
and since joining this reboot he has
promised he will be more scary and much
more faithful to the source material
than the previous film franchise thank
God yes yes thank you
I'm just hoping these aren't just words
to appease hardcore fans but come on
your highness you can do it number three
Super Mario Brothers the Mushroom
Kingdom is filled with shenanigans
vibrant colors and kooky characters
right out of a Saturday morning cartoon
and there are few Studios we think could
translate that to a big string as well
as elimination the production was
announced in early 2018 though there
hasn't been many updates since Mario's
creator Shigeru Miyamoto will co-produce
alongside eliminations Chris millard and
rege no story aspects are known as of
yet nor is there a director or cast
[Music]
mário and illumination are taking their
time with melody and restating it might
not be out until 2022 we can understand
that the series has been adapted into a
monumental failure before Jesus Christ
those things still give me nightmares
but hey at least it can't be worse then
well that's
number two uncharted too many big bar
tabs and Levi I guess bad and well just
a few bad deals Sony's uncharted project
is the poster child the video game movie
development hell it's been in the works
since the late 2000s with David
O'Russell attached to direct and Mark
Wahlberg in the lead role as Nate over a
decade later and it has now gone through
six directors and has been delayed to
2021 now
Tom Holland will play the young Nathan
Drake while Wahlberg's role has now been
shipped to Sully Hollands spider-man
schedule is reported to be playing for
yet another delay but Sony is determined
to get this project made ruben fleischer
is now directing and his positive
relationship with Sony hopefully ensures
that he's the last to sign on Allen also
said to IGN that the film will draw
inspirations from uncharted 4 not sure
how that will work considering this
especially prequel maybe make them in
Sam but whatever we'll have to wait and
see you are a crafty little bugger
aren't you I know how to take care of
myself

number one Mortal Kombat welcome to your
future courtesy of our future may be
tragic but it's not Lord ratings fault
of all the video game movies in
development none seem to feel more close
to the source material as the upcoming
Mortal Kombat the adaptation of the gory
fighter will see new Kamisama McQuoid in
the director's chair but will be
produced by james wands atomic monster
productions given that the series
featured many horrific creature designs
we'd say this is a match made in heaven
the cast is also stacked with veterans
of terrific action movies Joe Taslim
will play sub-zero Hiroyuki sadhana will
play scorpion and tadanobu asano will
play Raiden just to name a few
oh and most importantly it's targeting
an r18 rating of the previous release
pg-13 movies great job all the building
blocks are in place for this to be the
best video game movie out there come on
