Riot Games and League of Legends: Opening to the World of Cinema!
Riot Games aims to make a big impact not only in the gaming world but also in the entertainment industry with the iconic MOBA game League of Legends (LoL). In this context, the series Arcane, which was released on Netflix and received great acclaim from the audience, stands out as a part of Riot’s goal. However, it seems that Riot Games’ plans go far beyond this, they include larger and more ambitious projects!
Recent news shows that Riot Games is trying to take the necessary steps for a LoL movie adaptation. However, it turned out that there were some problems in this process. For this reason, it is said that negotiations have been held with Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, the directors of the Avengers movies, one of Marvel’s popular productions. But these negotiations cost Riot Games millions of dollars!
Agreement Problems with the Russo Brothers
A few years ago, Riot Games sat down with the Russo brothers to bring the LoL universe to the big screen. However, at the end of these negotiations, no agreement was reached between the two. So, what happened that this agreement did not materialize? This is where some problems come into play. Factors such as disagreements about the project, differences in creative vision, and financial expectations complicated this process.
As a result, Riot Games paid the Russo brothers a full $5 million in return for their withdrawal from the project. This is a very remarkable development in the world of cinema. Who knows, maybe this money can turn into a better project in the future!
Riot Games’ Future Plans
Despite this disappointment with the Russo brothers, Riot Games remains determined to expand the LoL universe. Marc Merril, one of the founding partners of the company, states in his statements on this issue that they are still enthusiastic about producing TV series and films. However, he also admits that they are trying to learn what to do and how to do it.
In this case, we can’t wait to hear more about Riot Games’ future projects. Maybe a new series or movie will allow us to explore the characters and stories in the LoL universe more deeply! That’s why we’re looking forward to Riot Games’ new projects.
