Another Sega Game Is Getting Turned Into A Movie, And It's Probably Not One You Expect

Just because Borderlands failed to launch at the box office, it doesn't mean Hollywood is giving up on video game movies. Perhaps thanks in part to the success of Sonic the Hedgehog's two movies, another classic Sega game is coming to the big screen: Eternal Champions.
Via The Hollywood Reporter, Skydance is producing the live-action Eternal Champions movie. The game was originally published by Sega for the Genesis in 1993, and the story revolved around a tournament to determine who the new Eternal Champion would be. Characters from the past, present, and future were brought together to fight until one emerged as the victor. The winning participant would get to resume their life and fulfil their destiny as humanity's champion. The rest would be returned to the moment of their respective deaths.
Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom scribe Derek Connolly will tackle the script for Eternal Champions. His previous credits include Safety Not Guaranteed, Kong: Skull Island, Detective Pikachu, and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. His upcoming projects include director Wes Ball's Legend of Zelda movie for Sony, and the G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover movie starring Chris Hemsworth.
