Streaming giant unveils three new projects based on Sega games, starting with a live-action Crazy Taxi movie
Netflix has announced three new adaptations of Sega video games, according to The Verge. The projects include a Crazy Taxi film, an animated Sonic the Hedgehog series, and a live-action movie based on Stranger Than Heaven, an upcoming title from Yakuza developer RGG Studio.
The Crazy Taxi movie will be the first of the three projects to be released, The Verge reported, though no release date has been announced.
The Sonic series has been described by Netflix as being "built for kids who want to feel a little edge," according to the report, suggesting the animated show will take a different tone than previous Sonic adaptations aimed at younger audiences.
The third project, based on Stranger Than Heaven, will adapt a game that has not yet been released. Stranger Than Heaven is being developed by RGG Studio, the team behind the Yakuza franchise, according to the report.
Netflix has not disclosed further details about casting, release timelines, or creative teams attached to the projects, based on the available report.
