Video game movie adaptations and release dates
borderlands (August 9, 2024)
Gearbox Software's Borderlands movie stars Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black (as Claptrap, of course). The movie doesn't exactly follow the events of the game. Lilith (played by Blanchett), a powerful siren, returns to Pandora to search for Atlas' missing daughter, dubbed “the most powerful she-sob in the universe.” Obviously, she'll need her old friends and new allies while exploring the treacherous deserts of Pandora, and that's where the rest of the ragtag group comes into play.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (December 20, 2024)
Although I feel that, Sonic the hedgehog 2 was not as successful as the first film in the series, but it was still extremely popular and easily became the highest-grossing video game-based film of all time. And I'm not surprised that another movie is in the works. While we don't know much about the plot of the third installment (filming just wrapped in March 2024), we do know that it will feature Sonic's arch-rival Shadow.
The main cast, Jim Carrey, Ben Schwartz, Coleen O'Shaughnessy, and Idris Elba, will be returning for the third film, with Krysten Ritter (jessica jones), Alila Brown, James Wolk, and more.
Minecraft: The Movie (April 4, 2025)
Yes, it will. Mine Craft movie. The project has been in the works for years and has changed hands several times, but it looks like the project is finally scheduled for release in early 2025. No trailer has been released yet, but Warner has given us this basic plot description: Brothers: “The villainous Ender and her dragon begin a path of destruction, prompting a girl and her unlikely group of adventurers to set out to save the Overworld.”
The cast includes Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Jennifer Coolidge, and Kate McKinnon, and is set to be directed by Jared Hess (napoleon dynamite, nacho libre).
This is going to be quite an event and will definitely be a box office hit. Mine Craft It's one of the best-selling games of all time. Children admire mines, as they say.
Super Mario Bros. Movie Sequel (April 3, 2026)
meanwhile super mario bros movie It may not have had as much depth as older gamers were hoping for, but it was a huge success. And we're just at the beginning of Universal Pictures' inevitable series of Mario movies.
