Here's 5 video games turned into Hollywood big screen movies

Shocked some of the biggest blockbusters of all-time had roots to video games? Look no further than a fire list of five flicks based on games initially aimed at gamers.

A major salute to some amazing PR teams reaching out - I am feeling this release so much I am giving big love in the Date Night or Nahhh… section. Tap in.

During an era of reboots, remakes, and sequels that have decades separating them from their original pieces, it is undeniable that fans love seeing their favorite classics brought back to life in a creative way, whether it be a continuation, a retelling, or a spin-off.  

We’ve seen a wide range of nostalgic titles come back to our big and little screens, such as Disney’s ‘The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder’ and ‘High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,’ Peacock’s ‘Bel-Air,’ a musical adaptation of Alice Walker’s ‘The Color Purple’ produced by Oprah Winfrey in 2023, and so many more.

Another popular medium that has been introduced to the world of remakes, reboots, and sequels are video games. While this particular adaptation genre may be unexpected to some, movies like ‘The Super Mario Bros.’ or ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ prove to be successful among audiences, especially since they chase a feeling of nostalgia for those who played certain video games as children. 

Check out these 5 movies that originated from or inspired popular video games:

1. ‘Borderlands’ (2024) - Brought to theaters by Lionsgate studios, ‘Borderlands’ is set to release this August featuring stars like Kevin Hart, Black Jack, Cate Blanchett, and more. This adaptation is based on the video game franchise developed by Gearbox Software that is made distinct by its cooperative gameplay, humor-infused narrative, and toon shading art style.

2. ‘Gladiator II’ (2024) - Coming to theaters twenty-four years after its prequel, ‘Gladiator’ (2000) starring Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix, “Gladiator II” follows Lucius as he is forced to enter the Colosseum to defeat the emperors who now lead Rome, and restore the glory of the empire to its people. While both films are based on real-life stories of the Roman empire, there have been video games, like Story of a Gladiator or Gladiator’s Arena, that draw inspiration from the same sources.   ‘Gladiator II’ will be available on November 22, only in theaters.

3. ‘Transformers One’ (2024) - The original 2007 Transformers film was the first installment of the franchise, and was based on the Hasbro toy line by the same name. There have since been six additions to this franchise, with the 2024 ‘Transformers One’ serving as the prequel of the Transformers universe. More specifically, this movie’s plot traces back to the origins of the conflict between the Autobots and Decepticons on their home planet, Cybertron.  ‘Transformers One’ will be available only in theaters on September 20.  

4. ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’ (2024) - On December 20, 2024, the third film in the Sonic the Hedgehog series will arrive on the big screen for moviegoers to enjoy. Just like the original 2020 film and its 2022 follow-up, ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’ will draw inspiration from the video games created by Sega. 

5. ‘Mortal Kombat’ (2021) - In 2021, ‘Mortal Kombat’ was released to theatres and serves as a reboot for the 1995 film, which was based on the video game franchise (with 25-28 installments of its own) by the same name. In the rebooted version, MMA fighter Cole Young searches for the world’s best warriors in a great showdown for the fate of the universe. A sequel is reportedly in the works, with a release date set for October 2025, according to Screenrant.

The 'Hocus Pocus 2' flick is actually really worth watching and bae will agree

Not trying to date myself here but watching the original Hocus Pocus as a kid? Classic. From the acting to the witty characters to just the overall charm of a slightly spooky Halloween movie targeting kids but what parents could enjoy too. We’re talking about Bette Midler after all, right?

Leave it up to Disney+ for coming through clutch with a solid sequel decades later and starring the original cast. Spoiler: This is Date Night approved and for all of the right reasons. It’s simple and fun enough to kick back at home and enjoy plus there’s no need to really have watched the beginning.

So whether you’re like me and dating women of all ages - leaving little chance to the post-2000 women having ever watched this - although the original is such a classic you have to imagine most have seen it in some capacity - or your bae is a hardcore Disney head which loves all these types of releases - it’s worth watching.

It’s also a great at-home movie because you don’t have to worry about dropping stacks on popcorn, beverages and everything in-between for a movie not named Amsterdam or even Halloween Ends. There are just some movies meant to be viewed on the big screen and Hocus Pocus 2 ‘could’ land there but gives you theatrical feel from the comfort of home.

Here's 9 reasons Barbarian is your must-see Date Night movie of the year

The verdict is officially out - Barbarian is the best horror movie I have seen in all of 2022. While I have made similar statements and cannot believe I found something even more breathtaking than what I experienced when seeing A24’s X for the first time earlier this year, Zach Cregger’s absolutely must-see film is the best production I have witnessed in the genre this entire year and quite possibly in years.

Initially, the plan was to give you the Date Night-approved rundown in a series of paragraphs and run-on sentences and while that might still be the case, what better way to deliver some easy-on-the-eyes thoughts than in bite-sized manner? So let’s go with 9 reasons Barbarian is your must-see Date Night movie of the year - if not decade.

1. Zach Cregger’s feature-film directorial debut is championship level

Just keeping it 100 - Zach Cregger is a genius. Truly. Having taken the time to really dig into how this movie came about, you come to learn the little things like how much brainpower and financial backing it took to turn Barbarian from a great idea to a full-fledged Hollywood production. But more than that, there were all types of rollercoaster issues from a financier tragically dying right before heading out to Bulgaria to handle some filming to nearly scrapping the film altogether before New Regency and 20th Century Studios became involved.

What’s even more interesting and a top reason why I have to give ZC the ultimate co-sign is because of his genius writing - notably an ability to perfectly mesh comedy and horror quite masterfully. Dabs of Quentin Tarantino. Plenty of A24-type uniqueness. The Alfred Hitchcock storytelling. Zach Cregger’s feature-film directorial debut is pure impressive and quite frankly mind-blowing.

2. The cast is A-list from start to finish

Let me be clear in saying this - the cast is stunning. Simply. Stunning. Whether we’re talking about the jaw-dropping Georgina Campbell or super handsome Bill Skarsgard or even veteran funnyman Justin Long - the movie has some superb stars from the opening sequence to the end.

But it’s more than just a few flashy names. All three of them have direct connections to the horror genre. Georgina’s acting in 'Black Mirror’ and Bill’s presence as Pennywise in the recent It films make them perfect fits for this movie. And while we’re used to Justin being the funny guy in everything he does, don’t forget he killed it in Jeepers Creepers all the way back in the early 2000’s.

3. It’s truly Alfred Hitchcock meets Quentin Tarantino meets A24

Don’t kill me 20th Century Studios but my goodness does this film have A24 vibes written all over it. Truth be told, the production company really missed out on a great film if there was ever a chance for it to land there. Bodies Bodies Bodies was solid but low-key missed the mark and Everything Everything All At Once was genius but not a real horror movie flick. Hence, the closest thing to Barbarian being A24’s classic X movie which has its highly-anticipated Pearl movie slated to come out in the coming days too.

From the scenery to the dialogue between characters and some gory moments you hate to love - but can’t look away at and simply freaking go crazy over - it’s pure mind-blowing vibes all connected. There’s some truly amazing camera scenes and long shots which are so beautifully presented you can’t help but geek out. True horror film movie heads will appreciate it.

4. Justin Long

God damn did Justin Long do the damn thing. I really want to give Georgina Campbell her own salute - which of course I will - but the way you’re introduced to the veteran funnyman and his much-needed spark of comedy in a movie packed with scary moments, it’s absolutely perfect.

5. Georgina Campbell

Shucks, why not give her the spotlight? She absolutely stole the show - er - movie with her presence. No spoilers here but from the way you’re introduced to her all the way to hold things shape for her character, goodness - it’s possibly some of the most range in an actress - or actor - I’ve witnessed in the horror movie genre in years. Miss Campbell makes you fall in love with her character for more reasons other than her stunning beauty.

6. Movie theater experience

By this point, you’re probably already convinced this is your go-to for the Date Night goals but rest assured, this is the type of movie you need to see in the theaters. The pandemic made people realize how much theaters are necessary. Sure, it was fun seeing movies release on both HBOMax and at your local theaters throughout 2021 but it didn’t take long before people realized Netflix & Chill was getting crammed with popular movies not being paid enough attention to. This is the type of movie you must watch in a theater setting.

Having the opportunity to see Barbarian in a New York City screening - heck, let’s go ahead and give a massive shout-out to the legendary AMC Lincoln Square theater and staff - the amount of screams, laughs and nervous shaking in the theater made this such a fun journey.

7. Detroit stand up

While you don’t need Detroit to be reason enough for this to be a Date Nigh movie, it’s a major plus to have a setting outside of New York, Los Angeles and The South for being the center of this flick. Motown has some major culture exposed here and whether it’s the auto industry or bad areas of the city, you feel an appreciation for what’s being presented - even more when you realize a portion of the film was heavily created in Bulgaria - which is insane by itself.

8. The runtime is simply perfect

It’s one of the toughest things to go right. Runtime. Do you go with the easy in, easy out with 90 minutes or do you go all-out with more than 120 minutes of content? How about agreeing for somewhere in the middle like an hour and 43 minutes? The movie runs just long enough to have you comfortable in your seat while seeing so many wild flashes of horror wildness to make you unable to sit tight.

9. No dull moments

Don’t be mad - but this is not the type of Date Night-approved movie you can sneak in some kissing and intimacy - you’ll have to look forward to it after the film. From the opening sequence, you’re hooked into the movie and can’t take your eyes away. Barbarian keeps you guessing and the plots do not slow down - at all.

It’s rare a movie leaves you completely satisfied and the Barbarian is perfection in the horror movie genre. It never gets boring. You don’t find yourself thinking about scenes which could have been cut out. You’re glued to the screen and happily recovering from your mind being blown over and over again throughout the flick.

Must-see for your next Date Night outing.

Attack The Culture rating: Date Night-approved.

Barbarian officially hits theaters nationwide Friday, September 9.

DEVOTION is going to be an emotional, tear-jerking must-see this fall

Great movies always have a tendency to arrive around the holidays, so expect greatness when DEVOTION hits theaters nationwide this November.

The based on a true story thrill ride has everything you want in a solid film - great cast, cinematic amazingness and enough surprises to keep you glued to the screen through the credits. Date Night goals are year-round and this pre-approved flick looks solid from the trailer alone.

Devotion, an aerial war epic based on the bestselling book of the same name, tells the harrowing true story of two elite US Navy fighter pilots during the Korean War. Their heroic sacrifices would ultimately make them the Navy's most celebrated wingmen.

This is my public plea to review tech-themed 'Guidance' ASAP

At this point, you should have the confidence in knowing when it comes to movies? I deliver like LeBron James - well, you know, during those championship-run seasons, of course. So when there’s a new movie coming together and gearing to drop in the form of this awesome-looking Guidance? Please believe I am going to make a public plea to review and most likely secure talent for an interview - right?

The movie looks amazing and if you are a fan of franchises or shows like ‘Black Mirror’ or even the recent ‘Twilight’ series by Jordan Peele, you can 100 percent geek out over what Guidance seems to offer. Check out the details and rest assured if - and most likely when - I get the chance to view this, you’ll get the rundown on if it’s Date Night approved or if it’s the type to watch under different circumstances.

In the not-too-distant future, humanity slowly rebuilds itself a decade after The Great War. Believing that the ability to lie is the root cause of the devastating conflict, a tech entrepreneur creates a pill containing a nanotechnology app known as “Guidance” that allegedly will make everyone more enlightened. Once swallowed, an A.I. “installs” in the person’s nervous system and aids their ability to detect deception in other people among other enhancements.

A young couple goes on a weekend retreat to the countryside, and they begin to use Guidance. However, recent events have potentially compromised their trust in one another. With the tech in their bodies, the couple tries to subvert Guidance in the hopes of saving their relationship before it’s too late.

The Terminal List looks like all types of crazy action

If you’re looking for a reason to stay inside and load up the Uber Eats app with bae? Look no further than The Terminal List on Prime Video and slated to arrive come July 1.

Now granted, you can’t beat the comfort of ice-cold air conditioning at your local theater but knowing how jam-packed some spots might be in the coming weeks - notably with all these blockbusters heading to theaters - the best bet might be staying put with a fun, action-packed and crazy movie in the form of The Terminal List.

Action. Drama. Suspense. Emotions running crazy? Check them all. I have not officially cracked into this flick yet but from first glance, it has the makings of what should be a solid flick to watch at home with bae. Peep some details and keep scrolling to watch the full-fledged fun.
