For years, there was the belief that good movies don’t come out of video games, and that good video games don’t come out of movies. There were a few exceptions, but for the most part, gamers were sorry to see what a major Hollywood studio had done to their favorite game. See Super Mario Bros, Assassin’s Creed, and a bunch of others for example.
Recent years have shown that this is no longer the case. Detective Pikachu, Sonic the Hedgehog and more have been very well received. This seems to have led to more projects, including TV series, as Mass Effect, The Last of Us, and Fallout reach non-video game fans in the future. Now rock has revealed that it plans to add to that growing pile of projects.
Now, rock has revealed that his next adaptation will be a video game during an interview with Men’s Journal. “We are going to bring to the screen one of the most important and beloved games, one that I have played for years“, he revealed. What he could not reveal was what game it is. However, he promised “do the right thing for our gamer friends“.
The revelation of The rock (Dwayne Johnson), came about when he was asked what’s next for him after Black Adam. So now the speculations about the game or series of games that The Rock is currently working on can begin. The comment that he has been playing for years suggests that it is a game that is part of a series or has many sequels. The Rock is a busy guy and probably not the type to play the same game over and over again.
It could be a Call Of Duty movie. A cinematic spin-off of the long-running series was in the works a couple of years ago, but production was put on indefinite hold in 2020. Perhaps The Rock will be involved in the aforementioned Mass Effect series, though it specifically says that this unnamed project It is a movie. Of course, rock is no stranger to video game movies, having starred in adaptations of Doom and Rampage in the past.
