Overview
- Sony Pictures announced at CinemaCon on Monday an R-rated animated feature based on FromSoftware’s 2015 PlayStation game Bloodborne.
- Studio executive Sanford Panitch said the movie will be very true to the violent, Gothic tone that defines the game.
- YouTuber Seán McLoughlin, known as Jacksepticeye, is producing with PlayStation Productions and Lyrical Animation.
- Variety reports Lyrical Media is co-financing with Sony Pictures, and the project is in development with no director, story details, or release date disclosed.
- Because CinemaCon is a theater-owners convention, outlets say the announcement signals a likely theatrical release, with animation viewed as a way to portray the game’s monsters and gore without live-action limits.
