Roller Coaster Tycoon, the popular simulation strategy game will be made into a live action CG hybrid film for Sony.
Cinemablend quotes director Harald Zwart:
“Well we had a pitch, a story — it’s basically a theme park comes to life,” Zwart told me. “We had a story woven into the theme park of the Rollercoaster Tycoon, and that’s what we sold to Sony, and that’s what we’re hoping to make into a movie.” Zwart said the pitch is inspired by the fantasy everyone has as a kid, to be left alone in the theme park to roam freely. “Just the idea of taking a ride like in Disneyland and the rides suddenly come to life, [or] you’re able to step off and stay behind when everybody else had gone.”
I thought it would be cool to have a Roller Coaster Tycoon movie where a giant floating digital hand was hauling our unsuspecting victims around a theme park and dropping them off in front of the attractions it wants you to ride.
But living rides works too I guess.
