Variety, the company announced that it’s making a show based on
Horizon Zero Dawn with Netflix at an event for investors. Sony is also working on a movie based on the
Gran Turismo series, according to
Deadline, but hasn’t found a distributor for it yet, and could feature Neill Blomkamp (
District 9, Chappie) as its director.
