A new rumor making the rounds online suggests that Legendary Entertainment is actively developing a live-action film adaptation of Pokemon Red and Blue.
In 2016, Legendary Pictures signed a deal with The Pokemon Company to produce live-action Pokemon movies, with the first being an adaptation of the 3DS game Detective Pikachu. While the first Detective Pikachu trailer laid many doubts to rest, some Pokemon fans were still hoping to see a film version of a classic Pokemon adventure instead. Well, it seems like their hopes may be realized, as Legendary reportedly has a film adaptation of Pokemon Red and Blue in active development.
Citing unnamed sources, We Got This Covered claims that Legendary currently has three live-action Pokemon films in development. One is Detective Pikachu, the other is a film about Mewtwo, and the third is the Pokemon Red and Blue project. Specific details on the project are scarce, except that the film will blend live-action and CGI as it showcases Red’s journey across the Kanto region to become a bonafide Pokemon Master.
