Top Movie and TV Series Adaptations of 2023 Based on Games
Mario Bros
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is an upcoming computer-animated adventure film produced by Illumination, Universal Pictures, and Nintendo, which is based on the popular Mario video game franchise. The ensemble voice cast features renowned actors such as Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Seth Rogen, Fred Armisen, Sebastian Maniscalco, Charles Martinet, and Kevin Michael Richardson. The movie had its premiere in Los Angeles on April 1, 2023, and is set to release in the United States on April 5, 2023, and in Japan on April 28, 2023.
The Last of Us
“The Last of Us” is a highly acclaimed American post-apocalyptic drama television series created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann for HBO. Based on the 2013 video game developed by Naughty Dog, the show takes place in a world that has been ravaged by a pandemic caused by a mass fungal infection that has transformed its hosts into zombie-like creatures and caused the collapse of society.
The series premiered on January 15, 2023, and was highly praised by critics for its performances, writing, production design, and score. The show’s premiere was watched by 4.7 million viewers on the first day, making it the second-biggest for HBO since 2010. Within two months, it had been viewed by almost 40 million people, and by March, the first six episodes averaged over 30 million viewers. In January 2023, the series was renewed for a second season.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
“Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” is a 2023 film directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, featuring an all-star cast including Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, and Hugh Grant. The film is a fantasy heist action comedy, based on the popular tabletop role-playing game “Dungeons & Dragons,” and set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. Unlike the previous film trilogy, released between 2000 and 2012, “Honor Among Thieves” is a standalone movie with no connections to the previous adaptations.
“Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” premiered at South by Southwest on March 10, 2023, before its theatrical release on March 31, 2023, by Paramount Pictures. The film has been met with positive reviews from critics, praising its cast, humor, and action scenes, and has grossed over $71 million worldwide.”
Gran Turismo
While Gran Turismo shares its name with the popular driving game series, it’s important to note that the film is not a direct adaptation of the game. Rather, it draws inspiration from the real-life story of a teenage Gran Turismo player who dreams of becoming a professional race car driver. The film follows the character’s journey as he navigates the world of auto racing, facing challenges and obstacles along the way. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Neil Blomkamp, known for his work on District 9 and Elysium, the movie is expected to showcase the same gritty and visually stunning style that has made his previous films so successful. With its classic fish-out-of-water storyline and strong creative team behind it, Gran Turismo is shaping up to be a highly anticipated film for both fans of the game series and lovers of action-packed cinema.
The Witcher: season 3
The Witcher fans can look forward to the upcoming third season, titled “Blood Origin,” which is set to premiere in the summer of 2023. Unfortunately, it will also be the last season starring Henry Cavill as the titular character, Geralt of Rivia. Season 2 left viewers on a cliffhanger as Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri were surrounded by enemies. Season 3 will continue from there, with Ciri facing danger from all sides, while Geralt and Yennefer strive to protect her and control her immense magical abilities. The show seamlessly blends elements of swordplay and fantasy to create an exciting and engaging storyline that has captivated audiences worldwide.
Arcane: League of Legends: Season 2
Netflix’s animated series Arcane became an instant hit when it premiered in November 2021. It received critical acclaim and even won an Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program in September 2022. Fans are eagerly awaiting news of a second season, but Riot Games CEO Nicolo Laurent has warned that the process may not be as lengthy as the first season’s six-year production time. Despite this promise, fans should not expect the release of Arcane season two until at least 2023. The series left audiences on a nail-biting cliffhanger, so anticipation is high for what’s to come in the next season.
Halo: Season 2
The Halo TV series was renewed for a second season even before the premiere of season 1 in March 2022, and in September, filming for the new season officially began. While production started around six months ago, the release of season 2 is anticipated to be in the mid to late of 2023. However, there is always a possibility of unexpected delays in TV series production, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the Master Chief needs more time for their return. On rare occasions, movies or shows might come out earlier than announced, such as Dune 2.
