As it stands, the number of upcoming projects listed from other studios on the Wikipedia page for movies adapted from video games is almost <em>half<\/em> of the total number of movies ever historically released within the genre.  Notable upcoming projects also include movies based on <em>Minecraft<\/em>, <em>Five Nights at Freddy&#8217;s<\/em> and <em>Metal Gear Solid<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-float-right\">\n<aside id=\"8mCCOK\"><q>The number of upcoming projects listed for videogame adaptations is almost <em>half<\/em> of the total number ever historically released<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"6Sq9lP\">the <em>Day&#8217;s Gone<\/em> adaptation from Sheldon Turner is reportedly in development within the movie division of Sony Playstation Productions (distinct from Sony Pictures), with <em>outlander<\/em> star Sam Heughan currently in consideration for the lead role of Deacon St.  John. <\/p>\n<p id=\"EHMt2B\">Meanwhile, Barry Battles and Nir Paniry are credited with writing the story for <em>Space Channel 5<\/em>which involves \u201cthe story of a hapless fast-food worker who is recruited by a freedom reporter from the future to save the world from aliens using the one thing that units all people on the planet: our love of silly viral dances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"CMY5qh\">Mae Catt, credited for writing <em>Young Justice <\/em>and the How To Train Your Dragon spinoff series <em>Dragons: The Nine Realms<\/em> is attached to write <em>Comix Zone<\/em>.  Presently, the plot follows a \u201cjaded comic book creator and a young, queer writer of color who, when sucked into the final issue of his popular series, must put aside their differences to stop a dangerous supervillain from sowing complete destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-float-left\">\n<aside id=\"hlPThj\"><q>There&#8217;s no mention of a prospective release date for any of the three projects<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"iuxnu9\">We should note here that the fact that these adaptations are &#8216;in development&#8217; doesn&#8217;t guarantee that they&#8217;ll definitely happen, only that Sony and Sega would like them to.  There&#8217;s no mention of a prospective release date for any of the three projects.<\/p>\n<p id=\"xKmWCx\">It&#8217;s unclear how big the audience might be for films and TV shows based on more obscure video games.  neither <em>Space Channel 5<\/em> nor <em>Comix Zone<\/em> are household names in the same way that <em>Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> is, and <em>Days Gone&#8217;s<\/em> sales pale in comparison to <em>Uncharted&#8217;s<\/em> four entries. <\/p>\n<p id=\"7U6BeU\">Still, It does appear that videogame adaptations are getting a lot of additional love these days.  Providing these projects are actually released and well received, we could be on the verge of a videogame movie revival.  Let&#8217;s just hope that the upcoming (and currently untitled) Mario movie does a better job than the 1993 <em>Super Mario Bros.<\/em> monstrosity<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fresh off the success of Uncharted and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 respectively, Sony and Sega are planning film adaptations of even more of their franchises. deadline reports that Sony is developing Days Gone for the big screen, while Sega says it&#8217;s developing adaptations of Space Channel 5 and Comix Zone.
