Television Programs Based On Video Games
“Angry Birds” the TV series
Since its debut in 2009, the “Angry Birds” video game series has become a global phenomenon, spawning spin-offs, merchandise, and even a feature film. Now, the angry birds are coming to the small screen with their very own TV series. Set to premiere on TNT this summer, the show will follow the eponymous birds as they continue their never-ending battle against the evil pig army. While the trailer doesn’t give away too much, it seems that the series will stay true to the comedic roots of the franchise while also adding some new twists and turns. With its colorful cast of characters and wacky sense of humor, “Angry Birds” is sure to be a hit with fans of all ages.
“The Legend of Zelda” live-action series
There are few video game franchises with as much legendary status as “The Legend of Zelda”. For more than three decades, the series has enthralled players with its mix of action, adventure, and puzzle-solving. Now, it seems that “The Legend of Zelda” is finally coming to the small screen. Reports indicate that a live-action series is currently in development, though few details have been released thus far. Given the popularity of the franchise, it’s likely that the show will be a major event for both fans and non-fans alike. Whether or not it lives up to the hype remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: the world of “The Legend of Zelda” is about to get a lot bigger.
“Pokémon” animated series
The “Pokémon” animated series is one of the most popular and enduring franchises of all time. The original Japanese anime series, which debuted in 1997, follows the adventures of Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu as they travel the world catching rare and powerful Pokémon. The franchise has since expanded to include countless spin-off series, films, video games, and more, all of which have been immensely popular with both kids and adults. “Pokémon” is now one of the most recognizable brands in the world, and its success shows no signs of slowing down.
“Super Mario Bros.” movie
Warner Bros. is currently in talks to produce a “Super Mario Bros.” movie, and some fans are already feeling nervous about it. After all, the last time Hollywood tried to adapt a video game into a movie, we got “The Legend of Zelda” – a comprehensive mess that bore little resemblance to the original game. However, there are reasons to be optimistic about a “Super Mario Bros.” movie. For one thing, the technology has finally caught up with the filmmakers’ vision – meaning that we’re unlikely to see any more blue-screened dinosaurs running around New York City. In addition, Warner Bros. has expressed interest in making an animated film, which could capture the colorful and vibrant world of the games more faithfully than live-action could. With any luck, the finished product will be more like “The Lego Movie” than “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.” Only time will tell, but there’s reason to believe that a “Super Mario Bros.” movie could be another step in Hollywood’s evolving relationship with video games.
“Final Fantasy VII” movie
The “Final Fantasy VII” movie is an adaptation of the popular video game of the same name. The movie follows the game’s story closely, but also expands on it in interesting ways. For example, the movie introduces new characters and gives more background information on existing ones. It also features dazzling special effects that bring the game’s world to life. “Final Fantasy VII” is a fun and exciting movie that fans of the game will enjoy. However, it is also accessible to those who are not familiar with the source material. In short, “Final Fantasy VII” is a well-made movie that is sure to please fans and newcomers alike.
So, it seems that the future of television series based on video games may be a little more uncertain than we first thought. Although there have been some successful adaptations in the past- like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones- it’s looking like studios are starting to become a little more hesitant about investing in them. This is likely due to the fact that both audiences and critics haven’t always responded positively to these types of shows. In light of this news, it will be interesting to see how studios respond in the future and whether they decide to stick with adapting video games into TV series or move on to other projects.
