Netflix is binge-producing video game adaptations faster than a certain Blue Blur can chow down a chilli dog.
The short version
- The streamer has just announced a new partnership with Sega to make another animated TV show based on Sonic the Hedgehog, as well as films adapting Crazy Taxi and the upcoming Stranger Than Heaven.
- Nakahara and animation director Carlos Stevens are attached.
- And, finally, we have a film adaptation of Stranger Than Heaven also planned.
What happened
RGG Studio's crime-ridden action game isn't due to come out until next year, 15 January, but Sega's giving it the multimedia treatment early. "Expect something cute yet cool for Sonic, hilariously crazy for Crazy Taxi and a badass action drama for Stranger Than Heaven, because we've got some amazing creative ideas lined up and we are just getting started," Nakahara said in a statement to Variety.
