The film star expects more gaming adaptations in future and predicts a Red Dead Redemption movie.
By Steffan PowellArguably gaming's most recognisable face is once again making the switch to the sliver screen.
Speaking ahead of the film's release, he says: "In the future, film and television are going to keep going towards using the stories told in video games, because that market seems to be growing and growing exponentially. "The Last of Us was fantastic. And what's crazy is how loyal it is to the original source material. It's basically all from the game with just a couple of tweaks. It's going to win all the awards."And there are some great games that have yet to be explored in television or film. Maybe there's going to be a Red Dead Redemption movie? There should be, because I think that [has] just as good or [an] even better story than The Last of Us.

"But for me, it's one of those no-brainers. 'They want you to play Bowser in Super Mario Brothers?' That just sounds like a home run. There's a built-in audience of kids around the world who are familiar with this brand. So it's got that, and it's being made by Illumination who have done some of my favourite animations over the years.
