Sony is working on a Horizon Zero Dawn TV series with Netflix.
During an investor briefing on Thursday, Sony revealed that several key PlayStation franchises are getting big-screen adaptations. The long-rumored God of War from Amazon Prime is indeed real, and Gran Turismo from Neill Blomkamp might be happening as well (thanks, Deadline).
Perhaps most interesting of all is the Horizon Zero Dawn series from Netflix, which is apparently in early development. There are no details on the project beyond that, so I wonder if it’ll be an adaptation of the game and its sequel Forbidden West or entirely an original story. Hopefully, someone gets Lance Reddick on the horn so he can reprise his role.

I swear a new games-to-film adaptation is announced every week this year. Off the top of my head, there’s The Last of Us, Fallout, BioShock, Twisted Metal, Super Mario, Minecraft, It Takes Two, Streets of Rage, Metal Gear Solid, and Resident Evil. No doubt that Sonic The Hedgehog 2‘s success changed everything, but it’s still wild. We’ve certainly come a long way since Uwe Boll’s House of the Dead.
