6 Upcoming Video Games Movies
"My stories only end when I stop running."-Sonic
Since I was talking about video games based movies (It was TV series actually) here is the upcoming movies that maybe based on your favorite video games.
Tomb Raider
Release date : 16 March 2018
Director : Roar Uthaug
Tomb Raider is back, and is a reboot from Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider films. This one will be based on the rebooted Tomb Raider in 2013. This Tomb Raider reboot will focus on Lara's search of her father, and Alicia Vikander will be the iconic adventurer Lara Croft. According to some leaked script, the movie will start from some MMA ring and Walton Goggins will be the villain.
Rampage
Release date : 20 April 2018
Director : Brad Peyton
From the retro game where we play as three monstrous gigantic ape, lizard, and werewolf wrecking city's skyscrapers. Rampage starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, after surviving in the destructive movie San Andreas now he will do that again in Rampage, because he won't be any of these monsters. The director said that the movie going to be a lot more emotional, a lot scarier and a lot more real than we'd expect.
Five Nights At Freddy's: The Movie
Release date : June 2018
Director : Gil Kenan
From the horror game Five Night At Freddy's, this horror game will soon scare you again in the big screen. So if you want more crazy animatronic animals jumpscare from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, you might also like this movie. Warner Bros. Pictures has the right for the production of the film version and they said they wanted to create an insane, terrifying and weirdly adorable movie. If you love indie games but haven't played this one, I reccomend you to play this point-and-click survival horror game.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Release date : 2018
Director : Jeff Fowler
We will soon be seeing Sonic running again in the big screen. Sonic the Hedgehog movie will be produced as a combined live action and animation movie. Sonic and his friends will team up against the evil Dr. Eggman Robotnik. That story may sounds pretty simple, but who knows if it will be good in the hands of Jeff Fowler who is known for his Gopher Broke working with Tim Miller, the director of Deadpool.
Sleeping Dogs
Release date : 2018
Director : TBA
Production company Original Film and DJ2 Entertainment is currently producing a movie based on Square Enix's classic crime open world game, Sleeping Dogs. The martial artist Donnie Yen will take the role of the undercover police officer Wei Shen, who will be on a mission to take down one of the world most dangerous criminal organization, Triads. Do you think Donnie Yen will be the perfect Wei Shen? I think so.
Minecraft: The Movie
Release date : 24 May 2019
Director : Rob McElhenney
The open world blocks building game is in the making progress under the direction of Rob McElhenney. To answer your wondering of how a game with no plot going to be a movie, it will be centered on a person who will be played by Steve Carell, who find himself in the middle of nowhere and just starts building the world. Remember when I say sometimes I doubt video games based movies will be great in the previous post? I don't know why I don't have that doubt on this movie.
"Gaming account talking about movies? Twice?! Grrrr!" I know sorry, but they are still video games related, no?
Anyway, what do you think about these six upcoming video games movies? Do you think they will be another failed video games movies or do you think they are going to be the movies that will make you want to watch them again when you walk out of the cinema?

No siempre son las mejores deciciones pasaro los juegos a peliculas
(It's not always the best decisions that went from playing games to movies)
A reboot for Tomb Raider would be cool. The Sonic movie sounds like it's going to be a kid's movie, though. And maybe that's a good thing. Sleeping Dogs is perfect for a movie adaptation and I'm all for it, even if I haven't played the game.
The rest, though... I'm not really feeling it. Rampage doesn't sound like a game that can be turned into a good movie. And I like The Rock in some roles, but he's not really a Class A actor. A Rampage movie won't need a Class A actor based on its concept, and that could be the nail in the coffin for it.
Minecraft could MAYBE work. As an animation (duh) for children, since a large portion of its fanbase are children or childish (not saying ALL of its fanbase).
And Five Nights at Freddy's..... shiver I'm not a fan of horror, but I can appreciate its concept. And Five Nights at Freddy's just doesn't do horror justice. It's based almost solely on jump scares (which is the worst form of horror). And the fact that its creator milked the living hell out of the franchise by making sequels, one worse than the other, feels like this movie will be another cashgrab for the creator and Warner Bros.
Great observation.
I'm still confused whether they would be good or not, but I agree if Tomb Raider and Sleeping Dogs are the most potentially good and looks more 'makes sense' to be made into movies. I can picture how they would be as movies. Rampage, the director said it would start from some kind of a lab accident that cause the animals to be mutated (typical accident plot), but the only thing I can imagine is the monsters destroying stuff to the end of the movie. And the rest... Uhh nope, I'm not sure about the rest either.
I didn't expect someone would think that Minecraft maybe could work lol, and yeah I think the main target audience would be children but also could be enjoyed by the young adults a bit, so is Sonic.
And thanks for your thought, @cleversleazoid, now I think I have a better perception on horror (games and movies).

STOPI absolutely love seeing video games turned into movies. It's like the opposite of what usually happens you know. They usually make a movie and it ends up being a lowsy game on a few consoles. Rampage looks like it will be a killer movie though!! I playd all the rampage games and loved them. Good post, i upvoyed and followed you guys/gals!!
Thanks a lot!
Sometimes I'm worried if a good game will be made into movie, because you know how video games movies usually disappointing. But when movie producers managed to make the movie to be great, that's where I could watch it over and over again haha
I'm a guy btw, it's just me running this account
I love tombraider ....
Then you'll love this rebooted movie of Tomb Raider
The only one of these that I see being good is Sleeping Dogs. Video game movies are prettymuch always destined for failure.
Sleeping Dogs has the story and the actions, so that's makes sense if you think it will be good. Now I don't know why I don't think that Minecraft won't be bad, maybe I'm drunk or something.
Wow can't wait for sleeping dogs movie, the game was awesome! good old times...
Let's see if Sleeping Dogs could break the "curse of failed video games movies". Looks like Sleeping Dogs is the most promising movies in here.
Well i never saw assassin's creed but people say it's good
Maybe you should watch it, if you are really interested. Before the second movie come out

Rampage was so awesome playing when younger. Loved swallowing people and causing mayhem, cool to see it in a movie! GodzillaX3!!
Great post dude!!
Thanks!
It would be a shame if movie producers disappoint the game's fans like you. But no worry, pretty sure with The Rock in it, the movie will have bigger potential to be good.
