SEGA have revealed they are working with Picture Start to develop movies based on Space Channel 5 and Comix Zone. The Hollywood Reporter originally broke the news, but SEGA have actually confirmed the news via their official social media channels, meaning this news actually leading to finished movies may actually happen.

Lots of intellectual properties get snapped up by various movie production studios only to languish in production hell, so the fact that SEGA are comfortable enough to talk about this publicly means there are definite plans for these movies to actually happen.

Picture Start are currently most well known for the movies Am I Ok? which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2022 and will release at some point in the future on HBO Max, and Cha Cha Real Smooth which is currently available on Apple TV+ and is currently sitting at 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.
