Last year, the famous insider DanielRPK, known for providing details of films, especially those related to Marvel and DC, commented that Sony was preparing a film based on the Bloodborne franchise. Now the insider brings the first supposed information about this project.

According to the insider's latest publication, Sony is interested in getting Adam Wingard to direct the Bloodborne movie. The director is known for having recently directed Godzilla vs. Kong.

Bill Skarsgard, an actor known for It: The Thing and John Wick 4: Baba Yaga, is being sought to star in the film's lead role, although it's not clear what his character will be.

Sony project based on the PlayStation game of the same name. Bloodborne follows the character, a Hunter, through the decrepit Victorian-inspired Gothic city of Yharnam, whose inhabitants are affected by a blood-borne disease that turns the residents, called Yharnamites, into hideous beasts. In an attempt to find the origin of the plague, the character unravels the mysteries of the city while fighting beasts and cosmic beings.

[Hudo]

Imagine if they somehow found the budget for making a second game...

 

[LectureMaster]

Welp, not interested. I only want the game.

 

[PonyStation4]

It would be interesting if it uses the death to retry from a checkpoint feature. Add some mystery solving to the story to go about things in a different way each time

 

[YukiOnna]

I'm still mad Hermen Hulst's suggestion of a movie/multimedia was real. Ugh

 

[tusharngf]

movie => box office hit => bloodborne 2

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

What could go wrong right guys?

 

[nial]

At least, I think a From-made remake at PS6 launch is real, then.

 

[Bartski]

to be fair it's not his latest publication but stuff he posted in November. Cool regardless Bloodborne PS6 #believe

 

[XXL]

Bill Skarsgard is a great actor and Adam Wingard is a good director.

Bloodborne has some of the best art direction in the history of art (I'm not being hyperbolic).

This has a ton of fucking potential.

 

[Danjin44]

 

[TikiLagoonSam]

If this is actually a thing, they will 100% release a remake as part of their marketing campaign.

 

[Moses85]

 

[mansoor1980]

movie story should be set before the game , Hugh Jackman as a younger Father Gascoigne before the insight drove him mad
1 billion at the box office guaranteed for sony.....................

I don't think you realize what this potential rumor means, if TLoU is any indication.

It means if a movie is coming, a remake/remaster is coming. This is potentially good news regardless of a sequel or not.

 

[Senua]

 

[Fake]

Madam Web vibes.

 

[XXL]

Wtf is going on this is thread?

This has a boatload of potential with those two involved.

I just want to know who is writing it.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Imagine if they somehow found the budget for making a second game...

Going by Sony's track record with movies and games, either a second could be coming, or a remake for the PS5/PC.

Also, two different company budgets.

 

[Yoboman]

Welp, not interested. I only want the game.

I get it but successful multimedia is surely a greenlight to more games

 

[TexMex]

It’ll never see the light of day. In the shelf next to the Metal Gear movie for another decade.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

This is going to be so bad.

Sony is in tight competition with Disney and WB for who shits more on their fanbase.

 

[SJRB]

No fucking way

 

[VulcanRaven]

Maybe there is a chance of that MediEvil animated movie being real: https://www.videogameschronicle.com...e-may-be-hinting-at-a-medievil-movie-or-show/

 

[Audiophile]

They'll literally license out the property for a movie before they'll replace "30.000" with "60.000" in a config file.

 

[Perrott]

Daniel is very reliable, so this basically also serves as confirmation that the reports on a PS6 remake of the game are real.

Can't wait since PlayStation Productions has been knocking it out of the park with their adaptations so far.

 

[Punished Miku]

Tom Holland as Celestial Child

Wtf next we'll be getting an elden ring show. lmao

I just looked up Adam Wingard

Director of Death Note...... I couldn't think of a worst choice oh my god

 

[Roberts]

Wingard has made a few watchable smaller movies but shit the bed trying something bigger (he clearly wasn’t ready to make a Godzilla movie) and there is no way he will ever do anything exceptional.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Well, I'm not against it. It's not like we have the overcrowded market of big-budget gothic horrors with Lovecraftian themes.

I just looked up Adam Wingard

Means nothing, really. Most of those are studio-dictated flicks.

 

[XXL]

Director of Death Note...... I couldn't think of a worst choice oh my god

Sure, I have heard Death Note isn't great, but I havent seen it myself.

But he's a decent director overall.

Sometimes in movie the script and writing (in general) can drag a movie down hard, that's why I want to know who is writing it.

I fucking love that movie.

 

[Danjin44]

I bet they gonna transfer modern U.S military to Yharnam like they with Monsnter Hunter movie.

 

[kiphalfton]

Anything remotely scary/creepy/etc. they cast him in.

Looks like a creeper, so maybe that's why.

 

[Represent.]

that is one generic ass casting

yeah but it's a sony movie... so

Script was one of many issues. It was a realllllly bad adaptation from somebody who obviously didn't go to the source material at all.

 

[Trogdor1123]

So, game doesn’t get a sequel but will get a movie and when the movie fails they will justify not making the game which is what people actually want?

[rofif]

How about no?
No to all these milking of gaming franchises.

 

[mdkirby]

Can you call a single game released a decade ago, and then borderline abandoned a “franchise”?

This game marks a major "turning point" within the Dark Souls series. Just as it's been announced, we have two DLCs planned, but as it stands now, I'm not thinking about making any sequels or spin-offs. That applies to Bloodborne as well.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

"Sony was preparing a film based on the Bloodborne franchise."

Ah, fuck. Abandon all hope.

Their games are great, but Sony's movies are almost always shit.
