Video games have occupied, and still occupy today, an important place in the lives of players. They can move us as much as films or series because of their graphic realization or their stories, or even by the different emotions they have been able to communicate to us. Video games and cinema have the power to transport us and make us forget the passing hours. And that, the major studios have understood well. Tomb Raider, Spiderman or The Witcher are examples. Focus on 5 adaptations of games planned for the screen!
The Last Of Us
A successful start for our two heroes
That one, it would have been a shame not to include it in the list.The story of a man and a teenager who will have to survive and learn to support each other, in a post-apocalyptic world. The first part of the adventures of Ellie and Joël had conquered the hearts of players, to the point of creating a real community of fans. Most players all remember the first ten minutes of the game and the emotion they may have felt.It is with this kind of scene, this scripting and this graphic realization that The Last Of Us (Naughty Dog) has established itself in the list of great games. 
For the occasion, Sony creates Playstation Production
From this success, Sony decided to create the multinational Playstation Production.It will be responsible for offering quality films and series to fans with creative control.An idea directly inspired by the company Marvel Cinematic Universe. And to continue its momentum, Playstation Production decided to get closer to HBO and Graig Mazin, creator of Chernobyl. If no release date is yet official, the two actors who could play Ellie and Joel will however have to be exemplary. Fans expect as much emotion as the animation of the faces in the game has given us.

"I've been working on this film for 6 years and I fought every day to make sure we adapted it properly," he explained. "It's my baby.
