Sega annuncia Space Channel 5 E i film di Comix Zone

Sega has had so much success with the Sonic il riccio movies that it has already locked in the third one and confirmed a separate television series starring Knuckles. Se questo non bastasse, it’s now officially confirmed there’ll be Space Channel 5 e Zona Fumetti adaptations.

“SEGA is partnering with @picturestart to produce film adaptions of Space Channel 5 and Comix Zone!”

The music game Space Channel 5, starring Ulala, started out in 1999 on Dreamcast and even got a GBA version in 2003. You might also know the character from her appearances in other games such as Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing.

As for Comix Zone, you can get a history lesson via the Switch Online + Expansion Pack Mega Drive / Genesis library. It’s a beat ’em up released on these systems in 1995. Speaking of beat ’em ups, there’s also reportedly a Streets of Rage movie in development.

Here are the plots of both movies, according to an exclusive from L'Hollywood Reporter:

“Canale 5, a comedy/dance adaptation of the cult-classic 1999 dance game, will tell the story of a hapless fast-food worker who is recruited by a freedom reporter from the future to save the world from aliens using the one thing that unites all people on the planet: our love of silly viral dances.”

“Zona, an adaptation of the cult console game, follows a jaded comic book creator and a young, queer writer of color who, when sucked into the final issue of his popular series, must put aside their differences to stop a dangerous supervillain from sowing complete destruction. Nel processo, they wittily explore the ever-evolving art of storytelling itself.”
