Meow meow boom
Netflix has unveiled the new gaming project it is working on: an app for the successful card game "Exploding Cats", which will be launched next month (Have you not heard of the game? The goal, by and large, is to avoid encountering an exploding cat card. Unpleasant).
And that's not all: Netflix is also developing an exploding feline animated series based on the same graphic style of the game, starring actors Tom Ellis ("Lucifer") and Lucy Lou ("Elementary").
The series will hit streaming service in 2023, and although we're one of those who do not like to just whine, it's probably not what will save Netflix from its collapsing stock crisis.
Momoa builds worlds
Actor Jason Momoa ("Game of Thrones," "Aquaman," "Dune") is expected to star in the lead role in Minecraft's live-action film, which is in the early stages of production at Warner Bros., in collaboration with game developer Mojang.
The star, it was reported, is in a very advanced stage of negotiations with the studios, however it is not yet known when the film will hit cinema screens (or the HBO MAX streaming service).
Minecraft,
And what movie can you make about Minecraft, this game has no plot at all, right?
Well, not exactly: In recent years, some of Minecraft's official feature books have been released.
Two of them, "The Island" and "The Mountain", were written by the writer Max Brooks ("World War Z") and even translated into Hebrew.
It is not inconceivable that the new film will be based on one of these books, or more.
To be sure, Momoa does not lack dice to play with.
The streets of rage
Another game that is being made into a movie, or rather a series of games, is Streets of Rage - Sega's two-dimensional street fight brand that tried to compete in the early 1990s with Double Dragon and Final Fight, but failed to, well, give them a fight ( Although Streets of Rage 4 from 2020 was actually likable).
Still, it seems that in light of the success of "Sonic the Movie," Sega insists on turning as many of her spiritual assets as possible into Hollywood blockbusters.
Currently, there are not too many details about the project, other than the report that screenwriter Derek Cosladed, the man who wrote the "John Wick" films, is responsible for the plot.
Good luck, but if you're already making movies based on Sega's classic action games, would not it be better to start with Shinobi or Golden Ax?
Streets of Ridge,
This is the year of the hedgehog
If we've already mentioned Sonic and Sega, this is the place to announce that Sonic Origins, a new remaster package of the first four games starring the Blue Hedgehog, will hit consoles and PC on June 23rd - Sonic's official birthday.
The titles that will be included in the package are Sonic The Hedgehog from 1991, Sonic 2 from 1992, Sonic CD from 1993 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles from 1994.
They will all come with improved sharp graphics and offer new game modes (you can try the stages in reverse "mirror mode") and a host of additional bonuses, but whoever wants can also try the original and pixelated versions of the games.
Sonic Origins,
But if you ask us, the most impressive addition here is the ability to control each of the four titles not only Sonic, but also his friends Knuckles and Tails, each providing the game with another strategic twist.
Only that Edo was offended because he was not invited to the party.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
