According to foreign media reports, two video game adaptations are making headlines today. First, the parkour action-horror game "Finding Frankie" is officially set for a live-action film. Steven C. Miller, director of "Escape Plan 2: Hades," has signed on to helm the project. The screenplay will be penned by Cory Todd Hughes and Adrian Speckert, who recently completed the script for Miller's upcoming film, "Under Fire."

This live-action adaptation is described as a blend of Netflix's "Squid Game" and "Five Nights at Freddy's."

Speaking of Netflix series, the "What's on Netflix" website, which specializes in news about the streamer, has revealed that "Crash Bandicoot" is now in development as an animated series for the platform. This isn't the first time Crash has appeared as an animated character on Netflix; he previously featured in the animated series "Skylanders Academy." Furthermore, this isn't the first animated series planned for the game franchise; Activision previously attempted to develop one with Amazon years ago, but the project was never completed and was reportedly quietly canceled in 2021.
