Hmmm. Alex Garland’s other work is amazing so I’m definitely interested.

[senorfartcushion]

I've always found him pretty meh.
He's a very indecisive filmmaker.

[Goodguy01]

Why? These live action adaptations have been oh so terrible lol. I know sonic is successful but I just couldn't enjoy the first movie. You cannot adapt a full game especially a 70+hr rpg into a small 1-2hr movie without many cuts.

But I suppose their goal is to reach more people with these films I guess.

It all depends on the creative talent in these projects. Last of Us and Fallout are good, but Halo is sad.

[InUrFoxHole]

I thought halo was pretty good

[gold_drake]

i agree with you 100%

[-Foxtrot]

I'll get downvoted to hell for this but despite Jim Carrey as Robotnik I think the films could have been better, they shouldn't have included the real world, they should have stayed on Mobius. Hell I would have rather seen animation since the Sonic Mania / Origin cutscenes were great.

I still think the Sonic the Hedgehog OVA movie is better.

[PapaBop]

Usually agree but give Alex Garland a chance, his other movies are amazing, this is clearly a project aiming for a high standard as opposed to just some shameless cash grab.

[Tapani]

Agreed, given his track record and in-depth research he puts into each project, not to mention writers and subject matter choices he makes, I would absolutely give Alex Garland a chance. I'm intrigued, and think he has a good chance of making this work.

[anast]

Hyped!

[LikAChicken]

Same! You can make an argument for each Miyazaki game but this one and Elden Ring always seemed like a god choice for live action (or animated series)

[gold_drake]

i meam, theres alot of material there sure but ... most of these enemies are .. non human.

is the movie gonna be mostly cgi? ha.

[jznrpg]

5 hour movie? It should be

[GamingSinceForever]

This could be interesting because it’s not like ER had a story that could be messed up by Hollywood. Basically they can take it any direction they choose.

[BABI-PANGPANG]

A24 and Alex Garland? Color me excited!

[-Foxtrot]

They need to keep it within the Universe, add to the lore, keep it consistent and not have the director / writer go "I'm going to do my own take and set it in my own Universe where I change almost everything"

[gerbintosh]

Would be best as a tv show

[goken]

I’m super looking forward to this one… i just hope Hollywood doesn’t find a way to mess this up
