Title: Sony Pictures developing thriller about Sega
Post by: shadowDOESrock on Feb 23, 2014 04:21 PM
Sony Pictures is developing a film adaptation based of Blake J. Harris' book called "Console Wars: SEGA, Nintendo and the Battle that Defined a Generation."

The Book is a "business thriller" focusing on the "small and scrappy" crew at Sega, and their tries to take on Nintendo.

The film will be produced by "The Social Network" producer Scott Rudin, and written by the guys who wrote 'The Green Hornet'.

There will also be a "tie-in" documentary from the same people.

Thoughts on this?

Spoiler: Sega loses

I'm curious as to their protrayal of the Sega Saturn arch.
Like, it was marketed worse than the Wii U, at least it had marketing before release @_@

Maybe now Tom Kalinske will get the recognition he deserves.

Although I'm guessing the movie ends right before the Sega Saturn era since that was pretty much the end of the Nintendo vs Sega war.

I haven't read the book, but it'd make sense to have the "downfall" in there.
