“The biggest change that we’ve seen over the last few years when it comes to video game adaptations is respect of the source material”
How did they go 30 years before trying that?
Probably too many old fart executives that "know better", plus directors or writers with a pet project that have to drop it and work on a "stupid game movie"
Also Uwe (suck my) Boll for tax reduction
See: Uwu Boll and the horrible, horrible excuses for video game movies he put out.
Not sure if this is a rhetorical questions, but I assume a statement like that comes from examples like the "Borderlands" movie. I'm not a gamer, but I remember seeing a lot of talk around the casting not being true to the game.
