Sonic 3 director says Keanu Reeves did "research" on Shadow the Hedgehog because he wanted to create a "faithful version" of the character



Quote
"He would give us so many different versions of line readings and just want to keep going. It was not sort of showing up and reading the script into a microphone," Fowler said.
"He really wanted to create a very fan faithful version of the character. He did research. In our first meeting, he very clearly had gone and done his homework, which was awesome. I can't say enough wonderful things about Keanu and what he brought to the character and the experience of making this movie. I think people are going to really, really love his version of Shadow."
As fun as the idea of ...

Like a Dragon: Yakuza’s Kiryu actor "really wants" to try the game series, but only if he has enough time to play it from start to finish



Quote
"Yes, actually I do have a strong feeling towards that. I really want to play the game, but if only I could be given a break to do so," Takeuchi said (via translation) when GamesRadar+ asked whether he would now be tempted to play the Like a Dragon series, formerly known as Yakuza in the west.
"What I mean is that I really like playing video games, but if I start playing it I need to play the whole game. So, I need to stay in front of the television screen for a long, long time."
Despite Takeuchi outlining his intentions, don’t expect him to be ...

This most famous memeable karaoke song's unfortunately doesn't appear in the series.
I don't know why but the director didn't want put karaoke scene (or any side quest thing from the game) in the series.
That's why Ryoma Takeuchi (the actor who plays Kiryu) made this video for the fans.
I don't get why they couldn't just shoot the music video in the bar.

Keanu is a great actor. And likely have a lot in common, him being immortal and such.

OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH!
I can't remember where I said it, somewhere on SegaBits forums, but I said that if I could choose who to direct a House of the Dead series, it would be Paul W.S. Anderson!
That while his later Resident Evil films were criticized, I still thought Resident Evil: Retribution would've worked better as a THotD movie than a Resident Evil movie! That most of the Resident Evil films he made feel better off under THotD licencing!

So this is a prediction/dream come true of mine.

When we asked for half off this isn't what we meant...

I also find it quite interesting that Konami has many film fans, especially about Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill. These games have deep stories and rich characters, so it is easy to see why they attract many film fans.

I wanted to reply seriously but then again I remember many new members of this forum changes their reply to advertising post so I'm afraid I will reply for nothing again.

It's the Director's choice, which like I guessed really doesn't sit well with most fans.
If it's up to SEGA it will be different story but SEGA isn't the one who made this series.

Yep, you did say it before here :

The House of the Dead
Light hearted comedy sure. I mean, I can imagine a "The House of the Dead" movie taking a few pages from Zombieland and Planet Terror which are my fave zombie movies. Planet Terror in particular is how I imagine the quality and humour of a House of the Dead movie can be, where Robert Rodriguez purposely "worn down" the footage reel in order to give it a more aged grindhouse theatre look throughout the movie as well as the use of bioweapons and soldiers which is something I imagine in THotD.In fact wasn't it Planet Terror that inspired the quality of THotD:Overkill?

This is why I wish I could make a fan film of The House of the Dead, because even if Sega and Paramount are willing to make a new THotD film I doubt they would go as far as Robert Rodriguez did for his movie.

If Sega insists on a modern zombie movie for THotD then... why not get Paul W. S. Anderson to direct them? Yes I know his later Resident Evil movies were panned and criticised but honestly I think what made the Resident Evil movies so flawed would work well in a House of the Dead movie. I watched his movies and be like "Okay, I can see why this is stupid for a Resident Evil movie but it would of worked for a HotD movie.", so I can imagine Anderson making a spiritual successor to those Resident Evil movies through The House of the Dead if he was offered to do so.

I guess Christmas does come early for you ~

Maybe the studio was a rental or they already disassembled it, I dunno.

From what I understand it's currently in the pitching phrase in 2025, so even if it comes through, it'll be a long wait.

There's still hardly any news on the Streets of Rage film after two years since its been announced.

Aslong as it's not ended up canceled, I'd prefer they're taking time than making it in rush.

Patience I have no trouble with. Upcoming Sonic games, movies etc.
My only concern is if I get truck-kun'd by then.
