The first of these is Space Channel 5. Sega has even given an idea of what the plot will be, writing in a press release:
If you’re maybe unfamiliar with the look of the Space Channel 5 game, it got a VR version called Space Channel 5 VR Kinda Funky News Flash! in late 2020. This is sure to make for one strange film.
Space Channel 5 was originally released in December 1999 for the Sega Dreamcast.
The other game that will be receiving a movie is Comix Zone, the 1995 Sega Genesis game.
Here is a trailer for Comix Zone that was released when the game was ported to Google Play.
The press release had this to say:
As far as Sega’s involvement in these movies, “Takumi Yoshinaga (Sega video game director) will join the team for Space Challen 5 and Kagasei Shimomura (Sega video game producer) will join the team for Comix Zone.” This is the true test that these movies will be in the right hands.
