Well, it's finally happening. The most beautiful star in Hollywood is set to head up a videogame adaptation: Michael Bay is directing an OutRun film for some reason (via Deadline). That's the 1986 Sega arcade game and subsequent series about driving Ferraris at great speeds down visually confounding roads in order to impress your girlfriend. Also, Sydney Sweeney will produce it but apparently not star in it, thank you very much.
It's no surprise, really. This is the golden age of videogame adaptations. Fallout was great, everyone's raving about The Last of Us, the Sonic movies have made enough money to bend light around Jim Carrey, and A Minecraft Movie continues to print cash despite the deleterious effect it's apparently had on the morals of world youth.
