Sega’s ‘Altered Beast,’ ‘Streets of Rage’ Games to Be Adapted for Film, TV
Dave McNary
Film Reporter



Stories International has partnered with Circle of Confusion to produce adaptations of Sega’s video games “Altered Beast” and “Streets of Rage” for film and television.

Tomoya Suzuki, president and CEO of Stories International, will produce with Circle of Confusion partner Lawrence Mattis and Julian Rosenberg. Evan J. Cholfin, head of development and production, will executive produce the projects for Stories International — the production arm and joint venture of Sega Group and Hakuhodo DY Group.

Production-management company Circle of Confusion produces “Fear the Walking Dead,” “The Talking Dead,” “Powers,” “Outcast,” and “Dirk Gently.” Its recent films include “Spare Parts,” “American Ultra,” and “Mr. Right,” starring Sam Rockwell and Anna Kendrick.

Circle partner David Engel executive produced “Straight Outta Compton.”

Stories is producing film and television projects based on Sega game franchises, including “Shinobi” with Marc Platt, “Golden Axe,” “Virtua Fighter,” “The House of the Dead,” and “Crazy Taxi.” It said Monday that it is in the process of partnering with major studios, producers, and filmmakers to co-develop adaptations of these properties as English-language feature films and television series for worldwide release.

“These are some of the most well loved SEGA games, and we are thrilled to be working with Stories to adapt them into major film and television franchises,” Mattis said.

Suzuki, Stories, and Circle of Confusion are all repped by CAA.

Condivido il discorso sulla popolarità, ormai si tende a stimare il popolare e non il talentuoso, gente che vaneggia e sono seguitissimi, una nuova forma d'intrattenimento fine a sé stesso che non trasmette nulla, ma si sa che pur di togliere dalle palle i bambini gli si fa guardare qualsiasi cosa . La colpa non è dei creatori di contenuti? Io non ne sarei così sicuro, dal momento che ti dici "io voglio diventare popolare" è ovvio che tutto ciò che farai per diventarlo sarà per colpa propria. Insomma è una forma di intrattenimento senza né arte né parte e molto probabilmente la gioventù quando crescerà se ne stancherà. L'importante è non dare la colpa ai bambini che in quella fase ci lasciamo plasmare come argille

Penso che quando si è piccoli non si abbia la concezione di popolarità, credo che si ragioni più o meno così a quell'età: "voglio diventare come lui perché mi fa ridere", insomma alla fine è sullo stesso piano di quando volevamo diventare personaggi di cartoni animati.

Exclusive: Adi Shankar Talks Castlevania Series for Netflix

Once we announced yesterday that a new series based on the video game Castlevania is heading to Netflix, it didn’t take long for the news to spread like a wildfire. So we quickly got in touch with producer Adi Shankar to get an early look into the direction the series is headed.

He couldn’t say much, obviously, but what he did have for us has us very excited.



“I’m a gamer. I’m a comic book guy and I’m a video game guy. It’s amazing to see all of the comic book tales beyond just origin stories get treated with respect. Video game adaptations are where comic book adaptations were in the mid-Eighties. We still need our Blade moment, our X-Men moment, our Spider-Man, and then our Avengers moment. ‘Castlevania’ will be the best video game adaptation to date.”

“Castlevania” Season 1, Part 1 will be coming to Netflix in 2017!

Inspired by the classic video game series, “Castlevania” is a dark medieval fantasy following the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepe himself. The animated series is from Frederator Studios, a Wow! Unlimited Media company, written by best-selling author and comic book icon Warren Ellis and executive produced by Warren Ellis, Kevin Kolde, Fred Seibert, and Adi Shankar.



An interesting little detail came out of an ongoing press event for Netflix today. One that’s bound to have video game fans in a state of WOW! The streamer announced today that “Castlevania” Season 1, Part 1 will be coming to Netflix in 2017!

A quick look at Netflix’s press site yielded this synopsis:

Inspired by the classic video game series, “Castlevania” is a dark medieval fantasy following the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepe himself. The animated series is from Frederator Studios, a Wow! Unlimited Media company, written by best-selling author and comic book icon Warren Ellis and executive produced by Warren Ellis, Kevin Kolde, Fred Seibert, and Adi Shankar.

Around a year ago Shankar announced via Twitter…

“I’m producing a super violent Castlevania mini-series with my homies Fred Seibert and Kevin Klonde. It’s going to be dark, satirical, and after a decade of propaganda it will flip the vampire sub-genre on its head.”

Sounds like everything’s coming along nicely! More as we get it!
