This past week, a Rolling Stone report accused Steve Blackman of “fostering a toxic workplace” on the set of The Umbrella Academy, a series which is about to air its final season on Netflix. Now, that seems to have killed off his future projects, including the hugely ambitious live-action adaptation of Sony’s video game, Horizon Zero Dawn., published last week, Blackman is accused of firing a woman because he was annoyed she was pregnant and didn’t tell him when hired.
It’s hard to know how this series could have been done without either A) spending an ungodly amount of money, as each episode would be like half a Transformers movie or B) creating sub-par effects or dramatically reducing the robots. Or they could spend all the money and itThis is not a problem that has plagued other video game adaptations to the same extent. Fallout has its CG creatures here and there but an almost entirely human cast with practical effects for the ghouls.
The only video game adaptation I can think to compare Horizon to in scope would be Amazon’s promised, upcoming God of War adaptation which would be similarly expensive with its mythological beasts and wild fight scenes with Kratos. But Amazon has more money than god and has shown they can already do this once with Fallout.
I don’t know if we’ll see Horizon again in the future, but at the very least, it’s probably a good thing it’s not going to happen with Blackman, given his reported behavior.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
