Borderlands bombed at the box office, but there are still a number of upcoming video game movies and shows to be excited about. Hi, I’m Alex from Pop Culture Brain and this is Stage Runner, your source for what shooting and where. It seemed for decades that video game adaptations in Hollywood were cursed, but now gaming franchises have become the industry’s favorite source of IP. Like for example, Anna Purna and Remedy Entertainment announced last week that they’re working on adaptations of Alan Wake and Control. Next month, a new animated series based on Tomb Raider will hit Netflix, starring Haley Atwell as the voice of Lara Croft. A live action series based on like a dragon Yakuza is coming to Amazon Prime Video in November. Sonic 3 hits theaters in December. Jason Momoa, Jack Black, and Jennifer Coolidge are going to star in a live action Minecraft movie that’s going to be released in theaters next year. The sequel to Five Nights at Freddy’s is also eyeing fall of 2025, and Super Mario Brothers 2 is looking at 2026. Director West Ball is developing a live action legend of Zelda movie with Nintendo and Sony. A live action god of war show is in development at Amazon, while Netflix is planning a Bioshock movie. Margot Robbie’s production company Lucky Chap is developing a movie based on the Sims, and new movies based on Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter are also in the works, and Anna Purva is also In development on an animated film based on the cat game stray.
