Toys R Us Live-Action Movie Announced With Sonic The Hedgehog Producer



Quote
A live-action movie based on Toys 'R' Us has officially been announced. The toy company was founded by Charles Lazarus, and opened brick-and-mortar locations in 1957. For years, the company was one of the most prominent retailers for toy sales, before filing for bankruptcy in 2018 and closing its stores. Now, the company's products can only be purchased online and in shop-in-shops through retailers like Macy's.
Per Variety, development is underway for a Toys 'R' Us live-action movie. The movie is a co-production of Story Kitchen and Toys "R" Us Studios, but the exact plot is ...

Not saying it's impossible, but wasn't OutRun a game that's more for driving for the sake of driving and road trips? Be kind of hard to put that into a movie.

It could be done (driving for the sake of driving and road trips) but it won't be an action movie.
On the other hand, this is ... Michael Bay.
It's most likely would be an action movie so don't expect it would be like the original OutRun.
It will be closer to "OutRun Europa" instead.

How would you imagine an OutRun movie to look like?

For example, I imagine an AfterBurner movie to be a lot like Top Gun in almost every aspect.
