Michael Bay and Sydney Sweeney will sign this improbable adaptation of video games!

After Minecraft, the film And Until Dawnit’s the turn of the racing game Out run to have the honors of an adaptation on the big screen.

From the arcade to the screen

Video game adaptations are on the rise, and everyone definitely wants their share of the cake. While Minecraft, the film is on the way to reach The billion dollars at the world box officeeach Hollywood studio is looking for the next box in theaters.

And if it was the adaptation of Out run ? This is in any case what the Universal studio seem to think, which is according to the sources of the American site Deadline Developing a feature film based on Arcade video game marketed in 1986 by SEGA.

The icing on the cake, the director Michael Bay (Transformers,, Bad boys,, The Rock) signed to make and produce the film, alongside Toru Nakahara (Sonic) and Shuji Utsumi for Sega. He will be written by the screenwriter Jayson Rothwell (Thriller).

Actress Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria,, The White Lotus,, Everything except you) is also on board the project in the sole role of producer for the moment, but it is likely that it is part of the casting.

As a reminder, the game Out run allowed the player to control a driver at the wheel of a red Ferrari Testarossa (and alongside a blonde passenger, like Sweeney …), and this must finish the different races in a certain time limit and against the backdrop of wild music, while avoiding other vehicles.

Released in 1986 on Arcade terminal, Out run has become one of the most popular games of its time and has established itself as a real iconic game, inspiring franchises such as Need for speed,, Burnout or Gran Turismo. In the wake of the first Out runmany suites have emerged, until the last game Outrun Online Arcadereleased on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2009.

The announcement of such an adaptation leaves obviously perplexed, as the original racing game is not particularly conducive to high dramatic issues, and is particularly stingy in substance.

No information has also transpired on any synopsis. The film project is still only at the stage of development, and there is no doubt that he should talk about him in the coming years.
