hold on they’re making a movie based on
that welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 video game movies you didn’t know
about you don’t know what this would do
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at upcoming flicks you can
expect to be coming to theaters whether
they make you excited about purchasing a
ticket or just make you raise an eyebrow
it’s like a chase now it’s getting
interesting
number 10 five nights at Freddy’s when
five nights at Freddy’s exploded in late
2014 it wasn’t long before someone tried
getting movie rights Warner Brothers
managed to obtain them in April 2015
with Monster House director Gil Keenan
to the project unfortunately the film
faced several issues which led the
project getting shelved there seems to
be a power malfunction that is affecting
our ability to properly motivate baby
luckily bloom house productions
eventually stepped up giving fans a new
hope for an adaptation the company plans
to work closely with five nights at
Freddy’s creator Scott Cawthon and Chris
Columbus known for many iconic films
including home alone and mrs. Doubtfire
is slated to direct we anticipate that
the film is going to be just as
terrifying as the games
[Music]
number nine Dragon’s Lair we don’t know
about you guys but we feel this is way
overdue one of the most memorable things
about dragon’s lair was the whole game
was kind of like playing an animated
movie he even spawned an animated series
in the 80s
however movie studios weren’t interested
thankfully original lair animator Don
Bluth and fellow great Gary Goldman
launched a Kickstarter in 2015 to
finally produce an animated feature
unfortunately their target wasn’t met
but when they moved the campaign to
IndieGoGo it saw positive feedback
making twice its goal no release date
has been set but knowing the team’s past
work in animated films
we can’t wait how is it that you know
what Grand Duchesses do or don’t do I’m
making my business to know number eight
just cause I never really thought about
it really but there is a difference
between you look and you see if we had
to summarize the experience at the Just
Cause series in two words we choose
explosive and exciting so if you’ve been
craving to see Rico Rodriguez blow up
more stuff than a Michael Bay film
you’ll be happy to know that a Just
Cause film has been in development since
2010 progress has been a little slow but
so far it looks promising Jason Momoa
has been cast to play Rico Rodriguez and
Brian Edward Hill is penning the script
will also have Brad Pitt directing the
movie who already has a video game based
movie on the way anyone else ready for
rampage
as in mirrors he considerably bigger
though he’s definitely bigger number
seven detective Pikachu oh yeah I knew
you were the tedious type as if the
detective Pikachu game isn’t shaping up
to be weird enough the movie adaptation
is a mighty strange concept seeing a
talking Pikachu will be flabbergasting
but it won’t just be gamers dropping
their jaws in 2019 a detective Pikachu
movie will be released by legendary
entertainment and Universal Pictures
Robin will direct but the big question
is who will voice detective Pikachu John
Goodman Robert Downey jr. Danny DeVito
nope Ryan Reynolds who is mostly known
for voicing the Merc with a mouth
Deadpool
well just let that soak in for a minute
[Music]
number 6 Monster Hunter
in all honesty we weren’t expecting
monster hunter out of all of Capcom’s
other franchises to be getting a movie
I’m not saying we’re against the idea it
just caught us off guard in September
2016
Capcom producer Rios o2g moto confirmed
that a Monster Hunter movie is in the
works surprisingly enough it’ll be
produced by Paul WS Anderson and Jeremy
bolt if these two guys sound familiar
it’s because they developed the Resident
Evil movies the film is already in
production so we may not have to wait
much longer before we start seeing
trailers number 5 fire watch it’s Henry
right yeah fire watch was one of 2016’s
most captivating games it was full of
mystery the characters were fleshed out
and memorable and the game was one hell
of an emotional rollercoaster and to
think this game was only out for a few
months before film adaptation was
announced in September 2016 developer
Campo Santo announced they would be
creating a fire watch movie in
conjunction with production company good
universe
they couldn’t have chosen a better
partner as good universe has helped
develop some critically acclaimed films
such as neighbors don’t breathe and more
recently the disaster artist too early
for us to be excited oh yeah don’t wanna
Greg you’re 19 yeah
I just turned 14 Wow happy birthday
number four raving rabbits the rabbits
are slowly making a comeback
and after their hilarious outing in
mario and rabbits kingdom battle we’re
ready to see more of them thankfully in
the midst of Ubisoft’s frantic movie
deal making for Assassin’s Creed far cry
and watchdogs the rabbits are slated to
get a film of their own and it actually
looks promising not much is known about
the project however we know that Robot
Chicken writers Matthew Senreich
Tom Shepard and Zeb wells are tackling
the script knowing that the writers of
an emmy-winning comedy show are attached
we are eagerly anticipating the film’s
release date number three
Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic is no stranger
to the world of television the blue blur
has starred in a handful of cartoons and
a couple of animated shorts you might
know everything I’m going to do but
that’s not going to help you since I
know everything you’re going to do
strange isn’t it yet he hasn’t made his
debut on the big screen yet well not
anything bigger than a cameo in a Disney
film that’s going to change as it was
announced back in 2014 that sonic would
be getting his own movie the film is
produced by Neal Moretz whose credits as
a producer include The Fast & Furious
franchise and the 2015 goosebumps movie
our only concern is that the movie will
be a live-action CGI hybrid please don’t
end up like Sonic oh six
[Music]
number two Call of Duty and wanted to be
a killing machine and they made me one
the Call of Duty franchise has had some
memorable campaigns over the years
memorable characters on the other hand
not so much so please excuse us if we’re
a little be funneled as to why a call of
duty Cinematic Universe is in the works
while no major details have been
solidified as of the time of this
recording the director rumored to helm
the first film is Stefano sollima
director of the upcoming crime thriller
Sicario to Soldado we just hope it
doesn’t get too over the top with its
action or worse try to be exactly like
hardcore Henry I’m just gonna whip it up
front
number one Tetris + Dayton boy comes
with the our brewery just new game
Tetris we’re just as confused about this
as you are how do you make a movie about
blocks that fall from the sky and
disappear when they make a complete row
well apparently Larry casanov sees
potential for an epic sci-fi adventure
the CEO of threshold entertainment
describes the story as being so big that
it calls for a trilogy production
started in 2017 and the film is
estimated to cost around 80 million
dollars however given the castoffs
recent film was the notorious animated
film food fight we might end up buying
our tickets with extreme caution I know
Dan he’d never leave the scene of a
crime not even for a hot dish like ladx
but this dish is extra spicy do you
