All upcoming video game movies: release dates, development details, and rumors
Video game adaptations are on a hot streak. Films like The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 were massive box office hits, while series like The Last Of Us and Halo have made for stellar TV shows.
While there have been some great video game movies, some have failed to capture the true spirit of a game on film. Luckily, more effort and resources are being poured into new adaptations given the success of the projects mentioned above — we’re starting to see more and more video game films in the works and the overall quality appears to have hit a massive spike in recent years. With so many great video game franchises, every gamer believes their favorite game should be the next one to get a film.
It can be hard to pay attention to all the rumors, announcements, and developments (these films take years to make sometimes!), so we’ve gathered all the info you need to keep up with all upcoming video game movies below.

Video game movie adaptions with release dates
Borderlands (August 9, 2024)
Gearbox Software’s Borderlands film will star Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black (as Claptrap, of course). The movie won’t follow the events of the game exactly — Lilith, the powerful Siren (played by Blanchett), is returning to Pandora to find the missing daughter of Atlas, referred to as”the universe’s most powerful SOB.” Obviously, she”ll need old friends and new allies while exploring the dangerous deserts on Pandora and that’s where the rest of the ragtag group comes in.
Directed and co-written by Eli Roth (of Cabin Fever and Hostel fame), we’re hoping this project leans in the same direction that Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thievesmanaged to find last year — a clever, otherworldly adventure that really captures the spirit of the source material.
