"My stories only end when I stop running."-Sonic
Since I was talking about video games based movies (It was TV series actually) here is the upcoming movies that maybe based on your favorite video games.
Tomb Raider
Release date : 16 March 2018
Director : Roar Uthaug
Tomb Raider is back, and is a reboot from Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider films. This one will be based on the rebooted Tomb Raider in 2013. This Tomb Raider reboot will focus on Lara's search of her father, and Alicia Vikander will be the iconic adventurer Lara Croft. According to some leaked script, the movie will start from some MMA ring and Walton Goggins will be the villain.
Rampage
Release date : 20 April 2018
Director : Brad Peyton
From the retro game where we play as three monstrous gigantic ape, lizard, and werewolf wrecking city's skyscrapers. Rampage starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, after surviving in the destructive movie San Andreas now he will do that again in Rampage, because he won't be any of these monsters. The director said that the movie going to be a lot more emotional, a lot scarier and a lot more real than we'd expect.
Five Nights At Freddy's: The Movie
Release date : June 2018
Director : Gil Kenan
From the horror game Five Night At Freddy's, this horror game will soon scare you again in the big screen. So if you want more crazy animatronic animals jumpscare from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, you might also like this movie. Warner Bros. Pictures has the right for the production of the film version and they said they wanted to create an insane, terrifying and weirdly adorable movie. If you love indie games but haven't played this one, I reccomend you to play this point-and-click survival horror game.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Release date : 2018
Director : Jeff Fowler
We will soon be seeing Sonic running again in the big screen. Sonic the Hedgehog movie will be produced as a combined live action and animation movie. Sonic and his friends will team up against the evil Dr. Eggman Robotnik. That story may sounds pretty simple, but who knows if it will be good in the hands of Jeff Fowler who is known for his Gopher Broke working with Tim Miller, the director of Deadpool.
Sleeping Dogs
Release date : 2018
Director : TBA
Production company Original Film and DJ2 Entertainment is currently producing a movie based on Square Enix's classic crime open world game, Sleeping Dogs. The martial artist Donnie Yen will take the role of the undercover police officer Wei Shen, who will be on a mission to take down one of the world most dangerous criminal organization, Triads. Do you think Donnie Yen will be the perfect Wei Shen? I think so.
Minecraft: The Movie
Release date : 24 May 2019
Director : Rob McElhenney
The open world blocks building game is in the making progress under the direction of Rob McElhenney. To answer your wondering of how a game with no plot going to be a movie, it will be centered on a person who will be played by Steve Carell, who find himself in the middle of nowhere and just starts building the world. Remember when I say sometimes I doubt video games based movies will be great in the previous post? I don't know why I don't have that doubt on this movie.
"Gaming account talking about movies? Twice?! Grrrr!" I know sorry, but they are still video games related, no?
Anyway, what do you think about these six upcoming video games movies? Do you think they will be another failed video games movies or do you think they are going to be the movies that will make you want to watch them again when you walk out of the cinema?
