“Can Brad Huang Save Sega?” Better yet what does Brad Huang have to do with Sonic – or a Sega movie featuring a character? Maybe nothing at all. Maybe something.
From IGN.com, this is how a recent article at Business Week Online begins. For those who haven’t been paying attention, Brad Huang is the gentleman at the helm of Sega’s recently opened Sega.com branch, but as revealed by this recent article, his role in the Dreamcast and Sega as a whole is a lot more than that. Getting to the finer points – this guy is one of the brainchildren of SegaNet, sega.com, his ideas alone have upped Sega’s stock and what caught my eye….
He has a penchant for action movies.
Huang is apparently interested in action flicks and, 15 months ago, he bought a script for a movie based on one of Sega’s games. What this game is is unknown by anyone but Huang and the buyer. Although Okawa has yet to approve of the film, Huang is already making arrangements in the Los Angeles headquarters of Warner Brothers.
Now a film based off of one of Sega’s games could be ANYTHING. Could it be Sonic? Virtua Fighter? Sarah Bryant? Rent-a-hero? Shinobi? Vectorman? Decap Attack even ***shudder***? In LA at the WB it could either be animated OR live action. So dont get your hopes up though Sonic fans. :O) Just something to note on an Easter Weekend.
