Rogue One Writer Shows Interest In Making A Star Fox Film

Video game-adapted films are already among us with motion pictures like 2018’s Tomb Raider and the upcoming Mortal Kombat film from New Line Cinema to name a few. However, the current status of these movies have been received below acceptable as many depictions of these digital worlds have been poorly translated to live-action as the initial experience is tainted by Hollywood’s attempt in the process.

Regardless, that does not stop those who feel up to the challenge to take on reinventing the current connotation aimed at video game films, this time coming from the Writer for 2018’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

This is not the first time a classic Nintendo series has been contemplated for a film adaptation.
