Hadn't heard of Story Kitchen but apparently they specialize in game adaptations, were involved in the recent Sonic films, and have a LOT more adaptations currently in production. I love the premise of 33 but do wonder if this is putting the cart before the horse.
It was formed after the first 2 Sonic films, seems like one of the execs just made a lot of moeny and wanted to try and do more. Most of their stuff is game franchises but little is actually out. The Tomb Raider one is but not sure how that was received.
Eitherwai, I said in the thread about it, caution is needed. If the right effort isn't put in, it could end up like many of those cheap cash grab productions.
Or worse, like Resident Evil fillms.
This is another "cart before horse" situation right? Remember unknown 9 ? they wanted to build a franchise.... with tv, comics, story books, ect ect. ... .Then the game flopped, and it was all just a waste. Now I have ALOT more trust in Expedition 33, than I ever would have had in Unknown 9, but sometimes its better to just wait and see, how the public reacts first.
They are getting ahead of themselves, they dont even know if the game is going to be a success
Holywood is really desperate. But it does look like a really cool world so why not
There is plenty of original movies and shows released all the time. I guess if you don't pay attention to it, it easy to miss.
I mean yes and no. There are original movies but very few original blockbusters
