He’s backing adaptations of Mass Effect, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune and inFamous along with his son, Ari Arad. The elder Arad produced Marvel’s Spider-Man, X-Men and Iron Man films, to name just a few. https://kotaku.com/mass-effect-movie-optioned-453118430 Legendary Pictures’ top man Thomas Tull appeared to agree with Arad, saying “some of the properties that have come out in the last couple of years are incredibly u31 เข้าสู่ระบบ layered and complex.” He expects a “similar shift is going to happen.” Some video games, like Resident Evil, have enjoyed some degree of commercial success. Other big names, like Gears of War, BioShock and Halo, have had their own issues making their way to the big screen, namely massive budgets that studios balk at. https://kotaku.com/will-the-gears-of-war-movie-actually-happen-5510443 Of course, House of the Dead and Bloodrayne director Uwe Boll must share some of the blame for the video game movie’s struggle to catch on. The Jerry Bruckheimer producer Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time makes its theatrical debut next month, with adaptations w69 of World of Warcraft, Kane & Lynch and many others still in the works. Who wants to place bets on which of these will be a “runaway success”? Avi Arad: More video game movies on horizon [THR]
