Sony Interactive Launches Unit to Adapt Games for Film, TV
- Thread starter modiz
- Start date
I wonder how long Kojima Productions will stay independent before SIE decides they want to purchase them. But then again, the same could have been said about Insomniac a long time ago & they're still thriving, especially in partnetship with SIE.
This is by far the most promising quote from Layden:
So it sounds like we won't be getting straight adaptations and instead maybe stories from already pre-established worlds, or maybe reboots that tell things differently.

You cant be serious? Uncharted,Last Of Us,God Of War,Horizon Zero Dawn,Killzone alone would make compelling TV
Oh shit, you maybe into something here...
Hideo Kojima will direct his own Death Stranding film/TV series.
This is really the only way a TLoU movie/TV show could work based on what Neil said. He think it'd be better off just taking place in the world instead of trying to be about Ellie and Joel.
well, to be fair, I wouldnt really be that interested in straight adaptations of the games; I mean, we already know those stories. And I have a hard time fathoming how a The Last Of Us or God of War movie might be more impressive in that regards; some of those setpieces would need insane budgets to translate well on screen.
Seems that Shawn and me are on the same page.
Yes I am. TLOU is my 2nd favourite game ever made and I'm not confident it would be half as good as a film. I'm not surprised they've had difficulty adapting it thus far. I'd say the same for Uncharted as well. I don't care as much for a lor of their other games so you probably know more than me but it's all pure conjecture and guesswork anyway so *shrugs*
Which I think anyone would agree with. Just retelling what ND already told in the game would suck and nobody else but ND should be able to touch Ellie and Joel's story.
At the time the agreement was signed and he announced the new studio, he mentioned that the focus would be to produce all kinds of digital content.
That is certainly reassuring. I would hate straight up 1:1 adaptations, it wouldnt work at all
No they wouldn't. None of them have much depth or originality. Maybe Horizon at a push, but I could only imagine it on the SyFy Channel.
Someone get Nathan Fillion a girdle, he's back in business! But seriously, there had better be an Uncharted miniseries...
I kinda agree about the Last of Us, but only because we've already had the Road & A Quiet Place. It would so similar to those films. They would really have to sell the tension with the clickers & Joel being a father figure to Ellie. Or maybe they could even do an original story that nothing to do with them. I think the important thing is that PlayStation is in creative control & I'm sure they would make sure it's extremely good.
The direction the Uncharted movie is currently going in is really the smartest that they could've gone with.
maybe in 2020. I dont understand why people insist they'll be there. They said they won't be.
As for my opinion, I think it's hilarious they're focusing on tv, an area that got Microsoft in trouble quick. This is literally the same exact situation as Xbox Entertainment Division in 2013. It didn't work then, it won't work now for Playstation. Halo is arguably the most easily adaptable game there is and it still hasn't panned out.
Yeah I liked A Quiet Place, that'd make a good template to follow in some aspects. But like you say it'd be tough. I agree with the recent thread here that games specifically suit horror/tense moments the best. HZD is another good example for different reasons, destroying a Thunderjaw felt *great* but I dunno how thrilling it'd be at the cinema.
Yep, although i'd imagine Ish is off limits as well for any type of movie/TV adaption.
The game people don't even have enough time to finish what they make or catch up the demand for the gaming market along.
I don't have much opinion about cross-media but personally I can't think gaming companies trying to do too much is a good thing in general.

A Bloodborne animated series by the people behind the Netflix Castlevania show...
Sony is a lot more than just a gaming company.

I wonder if PlayStation Productions will get Jordan Vogt-Roberts on board for that Metal Gear Solid movie. Maybe they can make a deal with Konami.
This PlayStation Productions team would be seemingly good for someone like me, who mostly doesn't play games anymore, but has had 20 years with the brand.
Now, I would like a Jak & Daxter animated series, please.

Sony Pictures already has the IP rights. They would only have to "hire" PlayStation Productions to produce the movie.
That's not the same case at all
It's just SIE wanted to use their IP in a good way and leverage their experience in games to create good content (series/movies) and keep the creative control to achieve this.
It's not conflicting with the investment they made/will make in their Gaming division with new IP, games, etc...
You do realize we already got a sequel to the last Syphon Filter...
... and it's called Days Gone. I'm not joking. There are collectibles in the game that sets Days Gone in the same universe as Syphon Filter.
