Ram Gopal Verma plans a new digital series

Digital media has opened an avalanche of opportunities for creative minds. Not only inexperienced people bubbling with fresh ideas are exploring the space, but established players like Dharma Productions and Balaji Motion Pictures also have their dedicated outlets to cater to the digital audience across the world.

The immense success of digital shows such as Sacred Games, Mirzapur and Apaharan has made one thing very clear that if you can offer fresh content, there is an audience out there ready to lap it up.


Well-known filmmaker Ram Gopal Verma knows the power of digital media just like any other filmmaker out there and hence he is quite serious about creating engaging and quality content for the new medium.

If reports are to be believed, he is planning a new web-series. Though nothing substantial is known about the project as yet, a source close to the development reveals an announcement will be made soon.

“The project is in the production stage and there will be an announcement about the same soon,” said the source.

Amazon’s ‘God of War’ reset proves Hollywood can’t get video game adaptations right

Highlights

  • Dave Bautista is taking over as Kratos after Ryan Hurst's injury forced Amazon to recast the role.
  • The series is effectively starting again, with none of the footage from the original production being used.
  • The major reset puts fresh pressure on Amazon's attempt to adapt one of gaming's most recognisable franchises.

Hollywood's relationship with video game adaptations has changed considerably in recent years. Shows such as The Last of Us and Fallout have demonstrated that games can translate successfully to television when their characters and worlds are treated with care. Amazon's God of War, however, has already encountered a production setback that makes its journey to the screen considerably more complicated.

Dave Bautista has closed his deal to play Kratos in the Prime Video series after Ryan Hurst, who was originally cast in the role, suffered a serious on-set injury. Hurst reportedly tore his bicep while performing a stunt in June, around four months into filming. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television subsequently decided to recast the central role.
