I have serious doubts Horizon can be done properly on a TV scale budget. I feel for it to be done properly, the whole first game should be a trilogy of films. All the locations, machines and stuff that happens can’t be condensed into a single film in my opinion. Def not on a TV budget. Unless they’re gonna go full Amazon and give it a crazy per episode budget.
This needs a massive budget to do it justice. And much as the father son dynamic is great the Greek setting and pantheon is richer and more exciting to me.
okay... just to update. Here are the ones known. Paramount+: Halo Netflix: Horizon & Gears of War Peacock: Twisted Metal HBO: Last of Us Amazon: God of War & Fallout
What other streaming services will be getting game related shows? And I dont count RE on Netflix as that was in name only. I'd think AMC+ would get a Death Stranding or Red Dead.
Yeah Halo is like those comic book or James Bond movies that get rebooted every few years, and the previous movies have little to do with the current generation. If done right, it doesn't matter if they get every little detail right as long as it's enjoyable and was made with passion. While it's not the greatest show, it has it's moments of potential, and maybe the second season can be where it picks up. For those that nitpick it's terrible cgi, many of the current Marvel movies with double the budget have cringeworthy cgi as well. There's not many shows that have great cgi.
Horizon is on Netflix and I am nervous about that one after the disaster that was Resident Evil. But Lance Riddick was in Horizon as a voice actor. He will do better in the live action version of the game.
I wouldn't get excited about any projects. Halo was complete garbage. Resident Evil on Netflix was some of the worst BS I've ever attempted to watch.
Hollywood is too woke these days. And everyone wants to put their own spin on things. I really have no faith in any of it. Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised with one or two of them.
You will definitely like what they are doing with The Last of Us on HBO MAX. Neil Druckmann game director is working with the showrunner to get the story right like the game. After hearing the director talk about how sad he was about one of the scenes, we can expect a really good drama for this show.
Horizon Zero Dawn is going to be an expensive one, because of the Machine designs for the show. I am nervous on who is going to play Aloy, There is that one lady from Game of Throne's married to Jon Snow in real life, that looks just like Aloy and great at shooting arrows. Then there is Jennifer Lawrence which I don't mind, but she is very expensive too and already establish with Hunger Games. Whoever this actress is she definitely will most likely be someone from Europe to fit this role.
I wouldn't get too excited about any of these projects. As much as I want them all to be good, I won't let myself get disappointed again like I did with Halo.
Low expectations is key. With Hollywood being so woke these days I just can't imagine any of this stuff being good. But that's a good thing, because if any of them do turn out good it will be a pleasant surprise.
Yup Wokeness in Hollyweird is rampant in their movies and shows. Too many sequels that end up being a pass the touch movie, and the new Star Wars trilogy started that crap. Look at what they did to my man David Arquette from Scream 5? He was the Han Solo of Scream movies for years, and you pretty much know what happen lol!!! From a girl half his size smh.
I recently watched that after avoiding it because I didn't want it to be terrible, and it was actually pretty entertaining. Certainly worth my time on a sub that I've already paid for.
Flip side being I walked out of RRR at the theater. The first time I have ever done that.
😂oh please no. It was bad enough seeing them as themselves “trying” to portray Nate and Sully, them as Kratos/Mark and Atreus/Tom would be some awful parody lol.
I want a skinny cratos before he sold his soul to Ares and become more buffed and by the 2nd season be all bulked up like the rock when he started vs 2 -3 years later
Only two people I could see pulling it off are Momoa or Hugh Jackman. See Hugh Jackman bald and with beard in Les Miserables. The resemblance is crazy except Jackman is a bit longer and leaner.
Gerard Butler was rumored to play the role, he sounds like him and kind of looks like him, just could pack a few more pounds, but he's already ripped so he could just be a more lean version of Kratos.
I wanted that to be Gerard Butler for a long time now, especially after 300! "This is Spartaaa." He could of said," I am Kratos!!!!" Before he start his finisher lol!!!!
Judging from that orgy episode on The Boys, I don't expect Kratos' story to be censored in any way by Amazon. If there IS any censorship, it'll be from Sony.
I enjoyed it don't get me wrong, but the Herogasm story in The Boys was nowhere near as graphic as I was expecting. Termite jumping down that guys urethra though... 👀
Why the F Amazon??? Lol this will be epic fail look how they turned Lord of the rings and the wheel of time into some w0ke crap!!! GoW is the total opposite of Amazon code.. 🤦🏼♂️
So im guessing the show will be completely about Atreus coming out to Kratos as some kinda bi or gay or space alien thing? And Kratos will be some bumbling fool who can't get anything right and Freya will actually be the series main hero who has to always save Kratos.
This is going to suck and we all know it. If HBO does a good job with The Last of Us then I want HBO doing all shows related to games cause Amazon and Netflix so far have either been inconsistent or just straight up horrible with their live action adaptations.
HBO already ruined The Last of Us show, its ultra WOKE, they race swapped Joel's daughter that dies in the very beginning of the game to be black. Also she appears in more than 1 episode despite dying within the first 10min of the game.
I fail to see how 1 race swap will ruin the show. Race swaps almost always hace no negative effect on a show since the character will be the same regardless, unless the writing is horrible. I also fail to see how expanding Sarah also ruins the show, especially since if any character deserves to have more time it would be Sarah. Y'all need to learn to chose when to use the woke excuse cause it's gotten old.
@Inverno, you definitely fail, thats true. Race swaps are at their core, racist. Why do you think they do it? Because white skin color bad! evil! can't have thaaaat. It also would change Joel's wife in the lore to be black in order for his daughter to be. Appearing in over 1 episode in the show, unless its a flashback would greatly ruin the impact the whole scene had in the game. You need to understand and learn when history is being changed in front of your eyes to present a picture of white skin color = evil. You want a new black girl, ok! Make a brand new character.
As the saying goes, "Without respect, we REJECT!" and changing the character like that is major disrespect.
HBO going to have Last of Us and Amazon gets God of War. Now all we need is Horizon and Gears of War to add to the mix.
A live-action Kratos is going to look sick!. Not. Whoever plays Kratos better be jacked as shit or this will immediately not work.
Can't wait to see how far they'll go in order to make it for the "modern audiences"
So the person that completely ruined Wheel of Time is off to ruin another franchise. Great.
Why the F Amazon??? Lol this will be epic fail look how they turned Lord of the rings and the wheel of time into some w0ke crap!!! GoW is the total opposite of Amazon code.. 🤦🏼♂️
