Final Fantasy VII is among the most beloved entries in the series, but could there one day be another film adaptation? Final Fantasy producer Yoshinori Kitase said in an interview recently that, although nothing is “officially planned,” he’s aware of the game’s appeal in Hollywood.
Kitase told Danny Pena that he’s “seen and heard about various Hollywood directors and actors playing Final Fantasy VII, and many creators respect the title.”
Kitase added: “I’ve been hearing things about creators out there who are very interested in the property who love the Final Fantasy 7 universe. And so, yeah, personally, I would love to see something come out of these creators in terms of a cinematic or some kind of visual piece.”
However, he confirmed “no talks have been had” about making Final Fantasy VII into a Hollywood movie.
Square Enix has already launched a Final Fantasy VII movie, having released the 2005 anime Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Directed by veteran artist Tetsuya Nomura, the straight-to-DVD film takes place a couple years after the events of the game.
Before this, actor Robert Pattinson said Final Fantasy VII was one of his favorite video games, pointing out how it made him cry. He also discussed being in love with both Aeris and Tifa in a love triangle.
While there is no new Final Fantasy VII movie in the works right now, Hollywood is pressing ahead with numerous adaptations. Just this week, Sony announced movie versions of Helldivers and Horizon: Zero Dawn. The Until Dawn movie, meanwhile, debuts this April, while A Minecraft Movie comes out the same month.
As for the game series, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the newest extension of the popular game, itself serving as a sequel to 2020’s Final Fantasy VII Remake. A third entry in the remake series is now in the works.
