Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced the launch of PlayStation Productions, a production studio that will take Sony's catalog of video game titles and franchises and adapt them for film and television.
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, this new enterprise will be led by Asad Qizilbash and overseen by the chairman of Worldwide Studios at SIE, Shawn Layden, and is "already in production on its first slate of projects and has set up shop on the Sony Studios lot in Culver City."
"We’ve got 25 years of game development experience and that’s created 25 years of great games, franchises and stories," Layden tells The Hollywood Reporter. "We feel that now is a good time to look at other media opportunities across streaming or film or television to give our worlds life in another spectrum."
In my experience, this rarely seems to work out well: gamers find that the games don't adapt well to the big screen, and non-gamers just aren't interested to begin with.
Question is, will this be any different?
