Adaptations of games that are due out. Continued (Topic)

A couple of months ago we wrote about new film adaptations of games that are due out. During this time, it became known about several more new films based on games, which are officially confirmed. We have collected them and a few more pictures that were not mentioned last time, to continue the list. Here are 15 more game films in production.

Brother in Arms

At the end of April, it became known that Gearbox's Brother in Arms series of war games will be screened as a TV series that will revolve around a previously unknown scandal during World War II.

The film was produced and co-written by the head of Gearbox, Randy Pitchford, and the showrunner is Scott Rosenbaum. According to Pitchford, the picture will tell us about ordinary people, women and men, soldiers and those on the civil front. However, the plot should amaze us, says the producer.

Little is known about the show yet.

Saints Row

The Saints Row series about the saints from third street will also receive a film adaptation. She will be directed by Felix Gary Gray, the director of Fast and Furious 8 and Men in Black: International, and written by Greg Russo, who is also currently writing a film based on Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil and Space Invaders.

The film is being produced by a company that is part of the Koch Media group, which also owns the publishing house Deep Silver - they were engaged in the release of the last parts of the game.

In addition, the next part of the franchise is also being developed.

Mortal Kombat

In addition to the recently released Mortal Kombat Legends Scorpion's Revenge animated series, which we recommend watching, we are working on a reboot of the original Mortal Kombat movie from Warner Bros.

The picture already has a fairly large star cast. Nothing is known about the plot yet, but as the scriptwriter said on his Twitter, the film will have an R rating, which will help it reveal itself in full glory. The very first Mortal Kombat movie was rated PG-13.

The film is also now being described as a hilarious blend of Raid, John Wick, Deadpool and the first MK. The picture is due out next year.

Dragon Lair

Dragon Lair is an old game from the 80s. In fact, it was a drawn cartoon, where you had to react to QTE and press buttons in time. Despite the fact that she asks to be adapted in the form of a cartoon, it became known that this will be a movie for Netflix. It is stated that Ryan Reynolds is involved in the production. He will play one of the roles, as well as produce. The developers of the original game, as well as the producers and writers of LEGO Film, are involved in the creation.

Layers of Fear

Layers of Fear is a two-horror duo from Bloober Team SA. In their report, they indicated that they are working on a film adaptation. What specific part were going to be filmed is unknown. As well as, in principle, everything about the film except for the fact of its existence and the fact that it is being dealt with by the Project Nerd Boss studio, which does not yet have one film work behind it.

The first game was about an insane artist, and the second about a silent movie actor trapped by a traveling director. The film has been in production for two years.

Observer

Bloober Team SA also signed a contract with the Hollywood studio Zero Gravity to film their biggest hit, Observer. The game itself is very cinematic, maybe even more than Layers of Fear.

At first it seems like a crime story, but very quickly turns into a horror. The setting tells about the cyberpunk future, where humanity was plagued by the cyber plague and became dependent on technology, and the mega corporation Chiron rules the ball.

Monster Hunter

Director Paul US Anderson has taken on the filming of Monster Hunter with Milla Jovovich in the title role. The cast also includes Tony Jaa, Ron Perlman and Diego Boneta. Prior to that, Anderson was involved in rape making the Resident Evil movie series, and also worked on the first Mortal Kombat movie.

According to its plot, a UN military detachment will find itself in a hostile world, where it must learn to survive and fight huge monsters. The movie is supposed to be released this year.

The Division

It is known that Ubisoft is developing a picture based on Tom Clancy's The Division

David Leitch is a former stunt coordinator who directed John Wick and Atomic Blonde. Rafe Judkins [SHIELD Agents] working on the script. Starring Jessica Chastain and Jake Gyllenhaal.

According to the plot of the game, a deadly virus spread throughout the world, which was transmitted through money. The action takes place in the midst of an epidemic in New York during the operation of a special unit to prevent the consequences of the disease.

Metro 2033

TNT Premier Studios and Central Partnership, with the participation of Dmitry Glukhovsky, are currently working on the adaptation of the first novel, Metro 2033.

This is the second attempt by the author to film his most famous novel. The first time he sold the rights to film adaptation to a Hollywood studio, but the cooperation did not work out, as the project writer insisted on moving the setting of the book to America. Glukhovsky refused, since the USA one is the key defining feature of the Metro series.

Filming will begin later this year, if nothing has changed yet. The release is scheduled for January 1, 2022. So far, it is known that this will be the studio's largest and most expensive project.

STALKER

Also, at the moment we are working on the adaptation of another project in the CIS setting - STALKER

The announcement of the film for the game happened by accident. During IgroMir 2019, director Max Samoilov said that he would not visit the exhibition, as at that time he would be busy with a full meter of STALKER.

He did not disclose any details, except that the picture is being produced at an early stage and the script is being written now. It's too early to talk about the rest.

Halo

There is also a Halo TV series in production. The main role of the Master Chief will be performed by Pablo Schreiber. The director's chair went to Otto Bathurst, who is best known for his work on the first episode of Black Mirror.

Manufactured by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television studio, in conjunction with the current developers of the 343 Industries series.

Two seasons have been confirmed, and the first, with 9 episodes, is due out in 2020.

Space Invaders

Space Invaders is a cult arcade game that at one time earned millions. As we wrote above, the screenwriter for Mortal Kombat is now writing a script for the film adaptation of the game. Producers include the people responsible for John Wick's A Beautiful Mind and Edge of Tomorrow.

The film adaptation has been known since 2014, but only last year it showed signs of life, and the creators are thinking about exactly how the picture will look.

Warhammer 40,000

Eisenhorn is a high-budget series set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe from Games Workshop and Big Light Productions. The main character of the series is Gregor Eisenhorn. It is based on the Inquisitor Eisenhorn novel series by Dan Abnett.

The author himself describes his character, not just as a demon slayer, but also as a complex multifaceted personality. The showrunner of the series will be Frank Spotnitz, who previously worked on the series Medici: Lords of Florence, The Man in the High Castle, The X-Files.

Call of Duty

Since 2017, work has been underway to create a film adaptation of Call of Duty. However, it is not yet known why, but for some reason the project is frozen. A separate studio, Activision-Blizzard Studios, was created for its production, run by the people responsible for the production of Marvel films, Star Wars, and Quentin Tarantino's paintings.

However, the project should be released, and Activision itself has no reason to cancel the film adaptation, despite the recent successes of Modern Warfare 2019.

Resident Evil

And finally, it's worth remembering the Resident Evil series for Netflix, which Chris Avellone is engaged in from the world of scripts to game adaptations - Greg Russo.

The action takes place 26 years after the outbreak of the T-virus, and the city of Clearfield will be the center of events.

The main characters of the series will be two daughters of Albert Wesker, who are born of different mothers. However, these are only rumors and we cannot say for sure. Also, according to various sources, it is argued that the series will take place in two time periods: in 2022 and in 2036.

So far, these are all significant film adaptations of games that are in development. As you can see, their common feature is that they all take a long and tedious creation. It is also worth mentioning that due to the epidemic, many of them may be delayed. However, let's hope most of them live to see the release.
