PlayStation Productions‘ Asad Qizilbash has revealed during an interview with Variety that the planned TV series of Horizon Zero Dawn has now been scrapped in favour of a movie adaptation, which creators found was a better fit for the Guerrilla Games-developed franchise.
Qizilbash noted that “it just wasn’t creatively going how we wanted to,” although no further details are currently available. It was previously reported in January that a Horizon movie was in production, but this was at a point where the TV show was also still in the pipeline.
Elsewhere, the PlayStation Productions executive touched on video game adaptations in general, stating that they’ve proven they can be popular if executed properly.
I think what people have seen in Hollywood is that video game adaptations, if done right, can actually be very popular, and they scale really well. That’s been a big sea change that I’ve seen in the last five, six years, since we’ve really started to come and deliver some great content. Because of that, there’s a confidence level that the film industry is seeing. For one, they’re seeing that some of the great creative ideas of stories are coming from video games — and I truly believe that some of the best stories you are seeing are from video games.
