Uncharted who?

In competitive bidding, Screen Gems has acquired the motion picture rights to Just Dance, the wildly popular Ubisoft video game. Screen Gems will develop a film based on a franchise that is the best selling music video game of all time, with 120 million players worldwide in all age ranges. Multiple studios competed for the rights deal.

Ubisoft Film and Television and Olive Bridge Entertainment will develop and produce the project. Jason Altman and Margaret Boykin will produce for Ubisoft Film and Television alongside Jodi Hildebrand and Will Gluck for Olive Bridge Entertainment. They've got a script, but I've heard that Gluck might direct it. His directing efforts include Easy A, Friends With Benefits, Annie, and most recently Peter Rabbit.

I don't expect anything less than a high budget ubisoft e3 intro

I wonder if Just Dance : The Movie : The Game will be released for the Wii

DrKelpo · Jan 14, 2019

sooo....it's going to be a generic dance movie with the title 'Let's Dance' slapped on, right?

Give me a modern day version of the dancing plague of 1518, OR GIVE ME DEATH!

Jon Carter · Jan 14, 2019

Screen Gems? What were the competing studios, Wiseau-Films and Boll KG?

This story has always fascinated me.
In the same style there's the laughter plague from the 60's in a girl's school, in Tanzania.
Spooky as hell

Will this just end up being another Footloose remake?

udivision · Jan 14, 2019

I will sue them, if it's the last thing I do.

Sgt. Demblant · Jan 14, 2019

Channing Tatum as Yves Guillemot and Daniel Day Lewis as the dancing giraffe and I'm in.

Tfritz · Jan 14, 2019

Man it's barely been a decade since Lady Gaga's version came out and they're already rebooting it?

InspectaDekka · Jan 14, 2019

More likely a clone of Glee.

This could be the role that convinces DDL to come out of retirement, I agree. Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York the first time he retired, and now Dancing Giraffe.

FINALLY A VIDEO GAME ADAPTATION WORTHY OF CINEMA

And yet it'd still be the best video game movie out there.

Hailinel · Jan 14, 2019

Two hours of flashy choreography and incredible French-ness.

Zonic · Jan 14, 2019

Watch it just be a bigger budget version of "Dancin' It's On"

KillstealWolf · Jan 14, 2019

So this is gunning for that "Breakout Musical of the year" slot that La La Land, Greatest Showman and Bohemian Rhapsody have enjoyed, right?

That seems like the main reason they are doing this.

GlassCup64 · Jan 14, 2019

Didn't they already do this in The Emoji Movie?

Deleted member 41931 · Jan 14, 2019

If its 2 hours straight of surreal dance numbers, I'll watch it day 1.

Deleted member 17627 · Jan 14, 2019

The real question is: Will it be anywhere close to the masterpiece that is The FP?

ZeldaGalaxy94 · Jan 14, 2019

Hope it story will be more ridiculous than the story synopsis for Dance Dance Revolution:

a world on the brink of destruction where the only hope is to unite through the universal language of dance.

It's a Screen Gems film. They make so many bad movies it's a miracle when one of them comes out decent. I doubt it will get anywhere near the word of mouth those movies got because it will most likely suck.

AcademicSaucer · Jan 14, 2019

hopefully those dudes in the scorpion-like costumes are in it

spad3 · Jan 14, 2019

This movie better have Left Shark in it dancing to Baby Shark or i'm not even gonna bother renting it.

MrBS · Jan 14, 2019

Hopefully this can form part of the same cinematic universe as the Tetris Trilogy and Sonic.

Megawarrior · Jan 14, 2019

so they rebranding the Step Up franchise?

Hieroph · Jan 15, 2019

We've been getting some crazy game movies lately.

There's a dancing giraffe?

Tilda Swinton would be great as the Lion I think.

That giraffe only has two legs. I want my money back.

Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich!

I don't think it'd be a bad thing, actually.

Screen Gems is actually behind all the Resident Evil movies, and the upcoming Monster Hunter one.

I know, which only increases the odds of this actually happening. It'd be interesting to see them take on a more uplifting/joyous franchise.

GarthLordOfTheSith · Jan 15, 2019

We need to put an end to this.

The Emoji Movie doesn't count?
