Stardew Valley Creator Says he Would Like a Movie Based on the Game With Ghibli or David Lynch

Stardew Valley creator ConcernedApe, aka Eric Barone, said that he would be interested in creating a Stardew Valley movie if Studio Ghibli or David Lynch involved.
In an interview with IGN, Barone explained that he is careful with the Stardew Valley brand, as he has only explored other ventures such as the Stardew Valley board game and the upcoming Festival of Seasons concert. "I'm just too protective of my IP to just hand it over to someone and say go ahead and make a Stardew Valley movie or whatever," he said. "I would need to be closely involved with that."
According to him, there are some cool opportunities within that medium for Stardew Valley, but he feels like it's risky giving characters voice acting and having them move around on their own.
Barone also felt that his time could be better spent just developing more games. He would only agree if particular and esteemed studios came knocking on his door to create such projects. "If Studio Ghibli approached me, I would probably say okay, let's do it," he chuckled. "If David Lynch approached me and wanted to make a Stardew Valley movie, I would say go ahead, just do it."
Movies based on video games have been becoming popular over the past few years, including Uncharted, Gran Turismo, Super Mario, and Detective Pikachu. Franchises like Metal Gear Solid, Borderlands, and Bioshock are all getting movies as well.
Stardew Valley: Festival of Seasons is an upcoming concert that's set to tour around the around the world starting in 2024 and will celebrate the game's music. ConcernedApe's next game, Haunted Chocolatier, is still in development with an unspecified release window.

With Icewind Dale 2's source code lost for good, a full remaster remains impossible—but modders managed to overhaul the game with their own 'Enhanced Edition'
Before releasing Saturday morning cartoon roguelike Mythforce, developer Beamdog made its name remastering BioWare and Black Isle RPGs like the OG Baldur's Gates. But there was always one that got away: Icewind Dale 2. Though an official remaster remains impossible for reasons I'll get to, modding group Red Chimera has produced their own take on an Icewind Dale 2 Enhanced Edition.

Nintendo Announces Live Action Legend of Zelda Movie in the Works with Morbius Producer - Hardcore Gamer
Even before the initial announcement of the Super Mario Bros. Movie Nintendo had begun to show more and more interest in moving into more purely visual media from shows to movies. With the insanely hit success that was Super Mario Bros. it comes as no surprise that more plans for future franchise adaptions were likely underway. We’ve seen hints of potentially more coming for Mario, but one other major franchise that seemed likely to crop up was The Legend of Zelda. Fans have discussed this at length online, but the direction it could take was unknown. Many wanted an actual episodic series covering the various games, while many were hoping for some sort of anime be it movie or long form series. Today we’ve gotten our very first look at what’s to come for new Zelda media and it’s taken the form of a planned live action film. While we don’t have many details on this revelation just yet, the news dropped without much fanfare at all coming directly from Nintendo’s official twitter account of all places in both Japanese and English.
