10 Video Game Movies You Won't Believe Are In Development

10. Dance Dance Revolution

Dance Dance Revolution became a cultural phenomenon when it first launched in 1998. Part of Konami's Benami series, its use of dance mats for a controller and licensing of popular music was highly successful, spawning countless iterations across arcades, consoles and even mobile phone spin-offs.

The arcade entries have continued but home consoles have not seen a release since Hottest Party 5 on the Wii in 2011. Back in October 2018 however, it was revealed by Deadline that the film rights had been bought by Stampede Ventures, partnering with Branded Pictures Entertainment and Konami.

With no news since the initial reveal, it’s status is currently unknown but what we do know of the initial pitch is that it will “explore a world on the brink of destruction where the only hope is to unite through the universal language of dance”.

Just how the DDR format will translate remains unknown and it certainly feels like an unusual fit for the big-screen. But only time will tell how this unfolds.
