Sony Pictures has announced it is developing an R-rated animated movie based on the video game Bloodborne.

The film will be co-produced by PlayStation Productions, Lyrical Animation, and Sean McLoughlin (better known as YouTube content creator jacksepticeye). Sony Pictures is co-financing the film with the Lyrical Animation parent company Lyrical Media.

Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group president Sanford Panitch during the studio's CinemaCon presentation will be "very true" to the gory spirit of Bloodborne.

The video game Bloodborne released for the PlayStation 4 in March 2015. It was developed by FromSoftware and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Thanks, Variety.

Is not Sony's decision but From Software as we learned from the Bluepoint closure.

Sony could actually do it whenever they want, they wanted to ask Miyazaki about it first, tho.
Like with Demon's Souls, Sony owns Bloodborne.

True, but now that Sony asked and Miyazaki said no, the ball is in his court. Since Sony shut down the only studio that had the time and knowhow/expertise.
