The video game is continuing a huge splash in Hollywood. A Mine Craft movie Is earned Million more than 900 million In theaters around the world. Give HBO’s season The last of us With the third season in tasks, Rio received reviews. And more gaming-based movies and TV shows-the second season of Amazon Conclusion And a sequel Super Mario Bruce Movie – are on the way.
According to Hollywood and Games Talk, the Games Bat Summit in Los Angeles 2025, one thing that is shared with all these successful adaptations is a pledge of authenticity. They capture the spirit of the franchise that they lay the foundation and took time to understand that these games were made so special in the first place.
“I think the top movies have done what the top movies have done is actually listening to the fan base,” said Morin Fan, CEO of Bababab Studios in Pan. “In Hollywood, this is (attitude), ‘I’m creative, I know better.’ And I think the reasons that these top movies have performed well are really heard. “
It involves bringing people into focus groups, but it is also important to talk to the real creators regularly. When the video game works on IP, the fan and his team meet the developers on a monthly basis to check and ask how their audience will feel about the project.
Fan said, “My background is the research of the user’s experience, so I really value it. But this is really something that my team has to learn.” “My co -founder directed all Madagascar films. My co -chief creative officer was the only producer of creative officer Moana. So he comes from a world that is very much. I know better. ‘ But in the past several years, they have now reached the point where they are craving the figure, especially when you are doing General Z things and you are of a different generation.
Another factor is the skill behind the camera. Although Movie and TV companies are involved in the arms race to chase the Big Gaming IP, Alicon Interactive President George Collins believes that making these features with the right directors and authors will be quickly important, especially those who have a unique approach to the brand.
Collins said, “If you think of things like Greetta Garrong like Barbie, or (Phil) Lord and (Christopher) Miller Lego – this can be a really feat, terrible movies.” But since they really had a (specific) idea, they did not expect it. That is why they made them good. “
But as it has been the recent slate of successful films and TV shows, there are still many big names such as call of duty and grand stolen auto who have not yet jumped Hollywood. For Dan Prag, head of Sky Dennis Interactive, one of the major reasons is to do with price.
“You won’t get a grand stolen auto for anything cheap these days these days, and it’s just for a licensing fee, okay?” “And then you throw the original production value that you will have to input to meet the level of expectation. It may be a huge hit, but it is also a major threat.
Collins noted that especially the call of duty movie has been floating around Hollywood for a while, but this problem is less about cost and more about finding the right script and story.
Collins said, “I think you have to take the script, either a pilot or theater script, which you believe.” “You have to be able to connect people that you know that a really good movie or a good TV show, can make a good exhibitor. And it’s not as easy as you think.”
Without the right skill and story behind a project, you are not only at risk of harming the film brand, but also the reputation of the game and the developer. When Fan Xianga had a sports VP, he remembered how the success of the form Will attracted someone from Hollywood who wanted to make a form Will TV show. He did not say at this time, arguing that the game was already making a lot of money and did not want to take the risk of harming its reputation.
“Here’s a lot of downward because if someone has a bad adaptation, they are going to spoil my brand and endanger my important taxes or upset my audience members, my players, I really have to trust that I believe in this script, I believe in this script,”
