SEGA Movie possibilities
Posted: Sun Jul 31, 2016 4:23 am
Okay. I used to be a big movie lover when I was younger, but ten or so years back until now I've not been interested in going to the theatres anymore. Reason? Stale quality. Solution? SEGA, BABY!
Honestly, with SEGA's great track record with animations, I believe they have the potential to work some magic on Hollywood's bad rep with video game films. Especially if they seek out more community involvement as they did with Sonic Mania (I know it hasn't come out yet...shhhh; I think it looks beautiful). And even if they don't look towards the community, they could always seek out Marza Planet and other past collaborators (e.g. Night of the Werehog, Sonic OVA)?
Which brings me to my question for all of you: which of SEGA's countless AAA IPs would you love to see on the big screen? Also, try to think about how well a plot would fit in with the game, not something like that Tetris film that's supposed to come out soon. That said, people are saying that it will be a science fiction movie, therefore the plot should be somewhat decent...right?
Despite me saying that about plot, I believe that a game like OutRun, despite it having literally no story elements, could work. Reason I say that, is because the screenwriter could have a lot of creative liberty in regards to the script. For example, the film could be a typical "Fast and the Furious" title, what with the rivals and such (please don't; we have enough of those...isn't there like 7 of them already?!). Alternatively, they could make it a romantic-road trip film, what with your girlfriend. Actually, I just thought of something! A story element could tie in with the lyrics from that one song from OutRun 2, called "Life was a Bore". It could be about the woman living a boring, day to day life, with a 9 to 5 office job, who finally finds her freedom from her monotonous life in the form of her new boyfriend, and his Teslarossa. Let's just hope that if they go that route, that it doesn't end up being another 40 Shades. Ew.
Anyways, what are your thoughts on a future SEGA film? And if you feel up to it, give us a brief synopsis of how you'd like the film to play out! I'd love to see how many possible future screenwriters there are on this fine website!
Stay breezy!
