Sony is eyeing another one of its iconic video game franchises for a TV or movie adaptation: Jak and Daxter. Uncharted director Ruben Fleischer confirmed that he’s currently working with PlayStation on an adaptation of the platformer.
“I’m actually working on Jak and Daxter, a version of that, for PlayStation, which I think would be really cool to bring to life,” Fleischer told Digital Trends in an interview promoting Uncharted.
A Jak and Daxter adaptation has been in the works for quite some time. In 2013, Blockade Entertainment was set to create an animated feature based on that game and the Sly Cooper series. It’s not clear if this is a continuation of that project or a revitalized one to coincide with Sony’s renewed push into video game-based movies and TV. Sony hasn’t officially announced the project, so details are scarce at present.
During the interview, Fleischer also reflected on his time working on another video game adaptation: A movie based on Spy Hunter, which has been an elusive project in Hollywood since 2003.
