Hollywood has realized that video games are a gold mine. So it shouldn’t surprise us that, from time to time, we get new updates about a franchise that could be adapted for film and TV. Now it’s the turn of two major Embark Studios franchises, because Arc Raiders and The Finals could make the jump to film and television.
Two franchises that could go global
As Variety has reported, Nexon, Embark Studios’ parent company, has teamed up with the production company Chernin Entertainment to develop adaptations of its video games. “ARC Raiders and The Finals are exactly the kind of opportunities we’ve been looking for at Chernin Entertainment for some time: major intellectual properties with global reach, with the potential to become major franchises in both film and television,” said David Ready, president of Chernin Entertainment’s film division.
The reason it has generated this interest is because “Nexon and Embark have created visually spectacular worlds full of atmosphere, with countless stories to tell. We are honored that they’ve trusted us to bring together our film and television teams and bring those stories to life“. Which is why they’re looking to capitalize on these franchises.
In any case, there is no release date or confirmation of what form these adaptations would take, or even whether they would ever be released. That’s why, while it’s interesting news, we’ll have to see whether, in the end, this collaboration comes to fruition and in what form.
