SEGA Live Action Movies Thread - "Of course I want a latte!"

I wonder if After Burner's gonna be a movie, what the story would be like...

I highly doubt it and not out of spite to believe so. I mean the games themselves have the simple premise of shooting planes. It's a very simple premise given it's an arcade game. The reason why the theme was chosen was because of Top Gun which was popular at the time.

Do you know what other navy film based after a game with limited premise out there? Battleships. It's mostly based on actual battleships than fighter jets but the concept of creation is similar, both are based on games that's premise is mostly a theme and pure gameplay than any story to build on.

As I've gone on and on before, I'm all for a Sega Cinematic Universe to come from Sonic movies. I'm hoping the upcoming Streets of Rage (and maybe Yakuza) movie will spawn that. But what would you rather have, AfterBurner being made into a movie like Battleships, or would you rather keep it to no more than a cameo and just watch Top Gun instead?

It's why I suggest not only to keep it as no more than a reference (as in the SCU of AfterBurner takes place in the SCU equivalent of Metal Harbor, or at least a GUN aircraft carrier) but to make that reference with Tom Cruise given his recognition with the Top Gun series. He doesn't have to cameo the role of LT Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, Tom cruise could simply play as a lieutenant with callsign "AfterBurner" and familiar theme tune when take flight. Cinema-fans will know it be a Top Gun reference and Sega-fans will know it's an AfterBurner reference.

Poster difference

I played this game beforre. There's a few more differences:

• Dr. Robotnik is behind the ring on the western poster while he's in the ring behind Sonic in the JApanese poster.
• Sonic is scaled down a bit in the Japanese poster.
• Knuckles is scaled up, making the Tornado plane down a bit.
• Tom is fliped and put to the right side while Maddie is simply moved to the right side.

Given Sonic's third movie maybe based on Sonic Adventure 2, this makes total sense.

I didn't know that Battleship movie was based on the game, I thought they were coincidentally just sharing the name.
Yeah I would rather After Burner kept as cameo and use the resources to make movie of other franchise that's more popular.

Okay, you're too good at this game, lol...

DNEG Delivers Mushrooming VFX on ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2’

Being able to convey scale was a major challenge in a world populated by 30-foot mushrooms. 
“As human beings we see little mushrooms, so it was difficult to given them depth,” Ghosh Dastider says.
“If a mushroom was really 30 foot tall, the problem is the texture detail and having something that you can relate to such as moss or soil.  You add scratches or colorization until it feels right.” 
Atmospherics were also incorporated into the imagery.

Ben Schwartz originally just voiced a short test scene as Sonic

Schwartz, who was a video game junkie as a child, originally just voiced a short test scene as Sonic — which director Jeff Fowler pitched to studios.
"But the goal was I did it for free as a favor, and then crossed my fingers, waited maybe eight months, and then I got a call from Jeff Fowler," he said. "I've never been so excited."

The movie Battleship was indeed based on the board game by Hasbro.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFJZFWTmGAw
Just because they can make an engaging stories with ponies and robots that can turn into cars, doesn't mean they can make an engaging story out of all their properties.

This is why I figure if Paramount or Sega ever decided to make a Sega Cinematic Universe and adapt AfterBurner to it, I'd rather have AfterBurner just as a cameo than what Universal and Hasbro did with Battleships.

Okay, you're too good at this game, lol...

There are a few others, but I won't go into them.

I never play the board game but I do have its Genesis video game it was based on, "Super Battleship: The Classic Naval Combat Game".





Not to fond of it, tbh.

There is also Game Gear version which is more fun.
And Hack from Game Gear version to be played on Master System.
