It might not actually be the worst video game adaption of the 2020s for long... I present to you:
A Minecraft Movie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE2YZhcC4NY
With Jason Momoa as, I don't know, some dude, and Jack Black as Steve.
this trailer has absolutely nothing going for it. This trailer is a masterclass in how not to make a trailer interesting.
The most interesting bit might be Jack Black saying his character's name
and the other characters being utterly unimpressed, and that was not
that interesting in the first place.

My son was showing me the trailer last night, laughing at it not with it.
I don't get it, there's nothing in that trailer that would me want to
watch this. They made CGI block animals.
... wow ... /s
Actually even less than the Borderlands movie.
When did Jack Black decide to play in the worst movies? Does he need
the money that badly? Did he get divorced recently? Tax issues? I
can't find anything like that. Just greed (which some of his fans have
been saying since he broke up his Tenacious D tour.) and bad taste
perhaps. I loved his school of rock and he was pretty funny in the
newer Jumanji movies, and Kung-Fu Panda, though I was never into
Tenacious D.

But Uwe never tried, he just made movies to take advantage of tax
loopholes so they made money no matter what.

Yep, that's why I consider him as not counting. Bad videogames movies
are usually a result of chaotic development + at least one person
involved really liking videogames. With Uwe Boll, it was just a vehicle
for making money. There was nothing worthwhile or interesting
By comparison the Fantastic Four movie was also a vehicle with keeping
the rights as its main reason to exists, but at least the staff really
cared about the product. And Street Fighter had Raul Julia. Uwe Boll's
crap has nothing that can be salvaged at all.

Which Fantastic Four movie, the Jessica Alba one or the Kate Mara one
(or is there yet another new one?)
I found the Kate Mara one truly horrific since they changed basically everything of the origin story and follow up, plus we're supposed to
believe that in America a Single Black man with a Son, was allowed to
adopt a white girl.

They've just announced that filming is complete on a movie based on
Ubisoft's "Watch_Dogs" games.
Another franchise that absolutely did not need --or really, had the
setting or characters to support-- a movie based on it. Not that _any_
of Ubisoft's franchises really would translate to film, but
"Watch_Dogs" seems one of the more unlikely. It's a series that is all
about the mechanics and lacks any memorable narrative or characters
(in fact, "Watch_Dogs Legion" was famous in that it had _no_ main
characters, since any of the thousands of NPCs in the game could be
recruited into the adventure.
It just seems such an odd choice to make a film. Why not "Assassins
Creed" or "Farcry 5" or even "Rayman"? All of them seem more likely
subjects.
Well, it'll be fun to watch this one crash and burn too.

"Is it popular?"
"Yes."
"Buy the movie rights. We'll use the title and some character names.
People will flock to see it because of the game/book/YouTube
Video/Podcast/comic book/etc./etc./etc.... Well, maybe, we might think
up a better title."
Yeah, but they do that for _every_ possible license, and 99.9% of them
sink under the waves long before they get a script treatment. Usually
the franchise that spawned them falls out of popularity long before
the film gets into production. And "Watch_Dogs" (the game) never was
really _that_ popular to begin with. That they actually finished
filming Watch_Dogs (the movie) is weird. It implies there was someone
with real influence (or money) pushing the project.
I suspect it was Ubisoft --possibly Guillemot trying to justify his
family's control over the company and stave off yet-another buy-out--
but that they'd push /Watch_Dogs/ of all franchises is baffling.
_That_ is the franchise they think has the widest appeal?
