Yet another of Ubisoft's IP gets the Netflix treatment. After Splinter Cell, it's Beyond Good & Evil's turn. An exclusive report from The Hollywood Reporter notes that the adaptation will be a "hybrid live-action/animated feature", and will be helmed by Rob Letterman, director of the Detective Pikachu and Goosebumps movies.

According to the report, the adaptation is still in early development and the team is looking for writers to adapt the game.

Hopefully there's a lot of moral philosophy and not just...netflix. it's odd though, I've always though of this game as a bit of a...nietzche product.

...shush i know it's a bad pun

"hybrid live-action/animated feature"

I don't see this turning out well at all unless they provide the same kind of budget that Detective Pikachu or the Sonic movie had. And since Netflix is basically the new "straight to DVD," odds of that aren't great.

OK, but can we have at least one sequel first?!?!?

 

[SilentNightjar]

Where is the sequence that was announced in 2017? It still in development?

Were game movies a long time coming or can we blame Detective Pikachu and Sonic for this?

I'd say Castlevania.

a movie comes before the sequel to the first game does. awesome.

 

[AnimeIsDead]

Yup this game adaptation will flop.

 

[phreaksho]

Probably won't be any justice to the he but at least it puts BG&E on the radar again. I'll watch it

At this point in time I just wanna play Beyond Good and Evil 2 on myNintendo Switch on my toilet. Good it doesn´t have a netflix app, so I´ll be enjoying OddWorld.

 

[StrayGuitarist]

This is gonna be garbage. I'm excited.

If anything, Splinter Cell should be getting the live adaptation, and this the anime treatment!

I always felt Hollywood purposely sabotaged video game stories especially with the Super Mario movie .. then Mortal Kombat showed signs of life but still , now with the Super Heroes/Comic book kick and gaming companies looking to get a foot in the door I’m a little exited because some ip’s have good stories you just need good writers and a decent budget

Still keeping fingers crossed for Metal Gear to happen

We are going to get a movie before the second game lol
