PlayStation hits hit the screens
The advent of the Golden Age of television and the era of superblockbusters has brought dividends not only to the owners of film studios and leading TV channels in the world, but also to fans of the gaming industry. First, cooperation with American producers was resumed by Nintendo, which seemed to have left the Dream Factory for good after the crushing failure of Super Mario Bros. Now it became known that the characters from the PlayStation consoles will be the company of Nintendo heroes on film and television screens.Sony executives are tired of watching the film adaptations of popular PlayStation games plunge into the abyss of production hell. While the film adaptation of the action-adventure game Uncharted periodically shows signs of life, the films based on Metal Gear Solid and The Last of Us seem to be completely frozen in limbo. It was announced today that Sony will no longer sell film rights to its set-top hits. The Japanese corporation opens a new department to produce its own film and television adaptations of game franchises. The young studio will be named PlayStation Productions. The idea of its creation appeared several years ago. Sony bosses didn’t drive the horses and chose to thoroughly prepare for its launch. Asad Kizilbash, head of PlayStation Productions, has spent the last couple of years studying the fundamentals of the modern film and television business. One of his consultants was the creator of the highest-grossing cinematic universe of our time - the president of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige.  Fans of the gaming industry can only wish the new studio good luck and, of course, hope for the announcements of the film adaptations of Heavy Rain, God of War, Gran Turismo and many other PlayStation hits.
