Latest Video Game Movies: Most Anticipated Upcoming Adaptations
The latest video game movies drawing the most attention are Resident Evil, The Legend of Zelda, and Death Stranding. Resident Evil stands out because it is coming out soon and trailers have already been shown to general audiences, making it the most anticipated of the bunch in practical terms. Zelda and Death Stranding are more speculative, so the excitement around them is curiosity driven rather than tied to an imminent release. The Legend of Zelda adaptation is highly anticipated even though some lifelong fans of the franchise admit to mixed feelings about seeing the games translated to film. Death Stranding is also on the way according to users, reportedly produced by A24 with Hideo Kojima involved, a pairing that generates both excitement and uncertainty about how it will turn out. Beyond confirmed projects, users have clear ideas about which games should be adapted next. Control is suggested as a series because its story and world would translate well, Dishonored is pitched as an animated series in a style similar to Arcane, and Red Dead Redemption 2 is viewed as a strong movie candidate, with some suggesting the Coen brothers direct it. There is also a broader sentiment that video game adaptations are rising in popularity and may replace superhero movies as the dominant blockbuster genre.
