Didn't Michael Bay just say he couldn't get greenlit anymore for projects?

Why?

The entire point of Outrun is racing past scenery with Musical Sound Shower blaring. That ain’t 90 minutes of screen time.


You have a better chance of taking a different driving game like Chase HQ or SCI where you are catching crooks and knocking them off the road to get 90 minutes of screen time.

These old school games have no meaningful story to translate to a film. It's basically just a title and a general theme.

Kinda like how they tried to turn Battleship (the board game) into a movie.

Also, this IP means absolutely nothing to anyone under 50.

I just don't see this being a big hit unless Sweeny has her jugs out half the movie, but it's Michael Bay so *fingers crossed*

Not a Space Harrier treatment to be found. Blasphemy.

There's more of an argument to create a Golden Axe or Altered Beast movie than there is Outrun. FFS.

If we are using old Sega properties, Alien Storm seems like an easy sci fi horror schlockfest.

Pole Position with Sydney Sweeney would probably do better at the box office.
