So, video game movies are typically failures in most aspects (critical/audience reception and box office results). In my mind, part of the problem is video game stories are a longer form than a typical two hour movie, so an adaptation of, say, The Last of Us, would have much of the story cut out due to time. However, I think video games movies would be better served as short-run television series (think Netflix). Most of these are 13 episodes.
As for The Last of Us, I think the 13 episode length would work quite well. You'd have the first episode dedicated to the prologue. The subsequent 12 episodes would be evenly split into 4 3-episode arcs, each one chronicling a season. What potential video game adaptation would you like to see receive this treatment (TLOU included)? New adaptions of video games that have received theatrical adaptations are also welcome.
