Now lets get to todays list of the Top 10 Video Game Movies in Development
#10 Sonic The Hedgehog Thats right sonic fans your cries for a live-action
movie have been heard.
With this poster release of a swole looking Sonic the internet went crazy.
It was a lot of memes and even more hype Even though that was just a clip from a fan trailer
you can tell that the secrecy of the film is making this a much anticipated release.
What we do know is that it is in development.
The cast will feature Jim Carrey as the villain Dr. Ivo Robotnik, James Marsden and Parks
and Rec Star Ben Schwartz are also on board.
Plus the release date has been set for November 8th, 2019.
#9 Minecraft Even though the release date has yet to be
confirmed Minecraft the Movie is most definitely in development.
Massive company Warner Bros has signed on and enlisted the writer director duo of Aaron
and Adam Nee.
Plus the original game creator Markus Notch Persson has joined the creative team for this
video game to film creation.
The current plot is that Steve is the only person in the village that doesnt fit in,
but one day while mining for stone he meets Klunk, the iron golem and together they have
wacky adventures.
Safe to say with the word wacky being used in the synopsis this will for sure be a movie
made for kids.
Were fine with that though as long as Steve Carrel gets the role of Steve.
#8 The Last of Us Now for you adults it wont all be kids video
games hitting the big screen.
The last of us is a terrifying action-adventure survival game that was released back in 2013.
The movie was in development by the games writer Neil Druckmann who had been working
on a script for the movie a few years after the games release.
After having some separation from the script though he decided to not move forward with
it.
This means that its sort of sitting in limbo.
There are still some people that want it to be made, but until they can get the final
go ahead it remains in development.
#7 Five Nights at Freddys Although the release date hasnt been set this
game about killer animatronic bears had gamers excited about the possibility for it to be
made into a movie.
Good news came when the top tier scare studio known as Blumhouse snatched up the rights
to the movie from Warner Bros.
Even more exciting is the addition of director Chris Columbus whos previous work on Home
Alone, Mrs Doubtfire and the first two Harry Potter movies speak volumes.
That list of credentials is pretty legit making this game in development looking quite possible
(
#6 Splinter Cell Yes thats right Splinter Cell fans a movie
for the series appears to be in development.
First put on the table way back in 2004, the creative team continued to change with one
person still believing in its development.
That man is Tom Hardy who hopes to take on the role of Sam Fisher.
In a 2017 interview with the films producer he said - Weve got a script.
Its a little long, but its the best script weve had - Adding - Were going in there to
figure out how to cut some pages and give it to Tom Hardy.
Hopefully well try to get it done this year.
- Heres hoping!
#5 Mortal Kombat In 1995 we had a valiant effort for a Mortal
Kombat movie starring Christopher Lambert, however after the Mortal Kombat legacy web
series finished up it left fans wanting more.
The director from the web series was actually asked to create a full length film along the
same lines as what he had created before.
The project seemed bleek though, never reaching full production.
That is until director James Wan who youll know from Aquaman, Furious 7 and the Conjuring
hopped on to the film as a producer.
With James on the team things are looking much more hopeful for the completion of this
video game movie masterpiece.
#4 Asteroids Yes that was a fan made mocking trailer for
a film about the retro video game asteroids by youtube channel Extremely decent.
However surprisingly enough a movie is in development for the game and the rights for
the movie were even purchased by Universal Pictures.
They have a script, they have a producer, but the search for a director is the last
thing that separates us from getting this classic black-and-white space shooter video
game onto the big screen.
#3 Fruit Ninja Yeaa you heard me right, our little mobile
app is all grown up.
Apparently the game Fruit Ninja is being adapted into a live-action family friendly comedy
film.
Its about Ninjas and their ongoing war with - you guessed it - various fruit.
Im not sure how this is going to play out, but I hope it involves our protagonist losing
a loved one when they slip on a banana peel.
Then the war is on against these no good out of season fruits.
Back in 2016 the company New Line had picked the project up, so hopefully this in development
film will be ripe soon.
#2 Portal Back in 2016 JJ Abrams had announced that
he would be having a meeting with valve and become very active in the creation of a movie
for the game Portal.
Dan Trachtenberg made an incredible live action short film based on the game which is what
that clip was from, but hes still rumored to be involved on the full length film.
However when someone like JJ Abrams steps up to make your movie, who else do you really
need.
#1 Call of Duty The long running first person shooter game
has since stepped away from their classic campaign mode to focus more on the battle
royale aspect thats been sweeping the gaming world.
Activision Blizzard Studios though said the release date for the beginning of a COD connected
universe should be on the way by 2020.
A-List actors such as Chris Pine and Tom Hardy have even been scouted for leading roles in
the first film.
This would be a huge step for the game and milk that cash cow a little more.
Although few details have been released about the plot, director Stefano Sollima has began
putting this film into development making this one video game movie to watch out for
in the near future.
And that has been the Top 10 Video Game Movies In Development.
