Hollywood wants to make more video game movies

Superhero movies, which audiences are already somewhat tired of, will have to make room for.

In a recent article for Bloomberg, renowned columnist Jason Schreier said that Hollywood filmmakers want to make more game adaptations and thereby push back on superheroics. In the material, the journalist wrote that the reasons for this are the audience’s fatigue with heroes in tights and successes like the HBO show The Last of Us.



According to Schrayer, the authors can take both famous game franchises and indie projects as a basis. The insider also notes that the studios saw the success of adaptations of The Last of Us, The Witcher and more. In particular, Schrayer cites Lionsgate Entertainment studio head Adam Fogelson's statement that with the right approach, the current generation of viewers will be ready to accept video game characters in film adaptations.



Schrayer himself confidently states that films and TV series can become a replacement for superhero films.
