Sony Pictures announced at CinemaCon on Monday that it is producing an animated R-rated film adaptation of FromSoftware's Bloodborne game. PlayStation Productions, Lyrical Animation, and YouTuber jacksepticeye (Seán McLoughlin) are producing the film, with Sony Pictures and Lyrical Animation parent company Lyrical Media co-financing the film.
Hopefully this will renew interest in the franchise and Sony can see the potential.
I’m sure for a sequel they would want to get Miyazaki for it and he’s a busy person, They could do it without him but he wouldn’t be happy with that and I doubt they want to upset him. Hopefully it lines up with his schedule. Who knows they could be working on it now but I won’t get my hopes up until something is announced.
At this point, I'm expecting Sony to endorse Yaoi fan-fic before they even entertain the idea of a remaster or sequel or even just a PS5 upgrade.
You must have missed the story where FromSoftware stated they do not want to make a sequel or remaster of Bloodborne.
But then again, maybe Sony should force them to remaster the game because people who are forced to do things they dont like always put their best effort in. /s
So FromSoftware really went
“F*** no are Bluepoint making a remake”
To
“A YouTuber making an animated film? Of course”
Say what you will about Jacksepticeye's involvement, but I suppose it comes down to how much creative freedom he has in making it.
Iron Lung, while not exactly in the same conversation as Bloodborne, was a perfectly serviceable and quite well made adaptation made by a YouTuber.
Jack at least understands the fan base and such so if he doesn't experience too much corporate interference or what you may call it, it could turn out pretty good.
Wasn't it Markiplier that made Iron Lung?
And there's more to filmmaking and storytelling than understanding a fanbase. I want a good movie. Maybe he can do it, maybe he can't, we'll see. But i expect nothing.
What are you on about? Sony owns the IP, not FromSoftware. They have zero say in what is done with Bloodborne.
No but it’s been said how they apparently didn’t want Bluepoint touching the game and Sony respecting their wishes
oh the youtuber/streamer hate is back, i knew it before i read the comments.So fucking pathetic, acting like they aren't humans and can't do anything right.
not really, its just that the same old tale gets repeated and repeated by a bunch people who have contributed nothing to the gaming industry and just mindlessly hate someone else who is actually trying to do something cool, but it can't be because they're a streamer/youtuber in your twisted mind.
Producing a film still puts you in the driving seat, you are responsible for so many things including picking the director, writer and the entire team to make it.
Making / producing, regardless, it’s still a big role.
to be fair, hes not making it per se.
and i guess hes a good fit for it, given how big of a fan he is
