The legendary company has signed a deal with Universal Pictures, in partnership with production company Entertainment 360, to develop film adaptations based on ten of its most iconic franchises.**\n\n### Ten games to adapt, no less\n\nThe agreement covers the adaptation rights for: Asteroids, Adventure, Berzerk, Breakout, Centipede, Crystal Castles, Millipede, Missile Command, Pong, and Yars' Revenge.\n\nUniversal has already secured the first project to emerge from the partnership: an original screenplay written by Matt Reilly (former Warner executive) and Carl Hampe (*Hellboy*, *Chuck*, *Point Break*), who will also serve as producers alongside Guymon Casady of Entertainment 360.\n\nThe studio has not revealed which game will be adapted first, nor whether it intends to build an \"Atari Cinematic Universe\" connecting several of these franchises, following the trend popularized by Marvel and potentially embraced by the Mario franchise as well.\n\n### Riding the pop culture wave\n\nAtari CEO Wade Rosen told *Deadline* that the company's more than fifty-year history has allowed its brand to remain part of popular culture long after the original releases of its games. He said he is excited to collaborate with Universal and Entertainment 360 to bring that spirit to a new medium.\n\n### A familiar gamble\n\nThis isn't the first time Hollywood has looked to Atari's catalog. Film projects based on *Missile Command* and *Centipede* were announced back in 2016, while an *Asteroids* movie was already in development at Universal in 2009. None of those projects ever made it to the big screen.\n\nWhether this latest attempt will finally succeed remains to be seen, especially at a time when video game adaptations are enjoying growing success, with recent hits such as *The Super Mario Bros. Movie* and the *Sonic* film series.\n\nWhat has changed this time is the context. Over the past few years, Atari has taken several positive steps, including the acquisitions of Nightdive Studios and Digital Eclipse, the release of a new game by Jeff Minter, and a renewed focus on highlighting its extensive retro catalog. The company has also moved away from its previous ventures into cryptocurrency, lending greater credibility to this new cinematic initiative.\n\n*Sources: [Deadline](https://deadline.com/2026/07/atari-universal-deal-10-game-ip-script-matt-reilly-carl-hampe-entertainment-360-1237001656/), [Engadget](https://www.engadget.com/2222033/universal-secures-rights-for-film-adaptation-of-10-atari-games/), [PC Gamer](https://www.pcgamer.com/movies-tv/atari-signs-10-game-deal-with-universal-for-movies-based-on-pong-breakout-centipede-and-more/), [Shacknews](https://www.shacknews.com/article/150132/atari-universal-pictures-10-movie-deal)*\n\n[Enjoying the Recalbox team's work?

La firme légendaire vient de conclure un accord avec Universal Pictures, en partenariat avec la société de production Entertainment 360, pour développer des adaptations cinématographiques basées sur dix de ses licences les plus emblématiques.**\n\n### Dix jeux à adapter, rien que ça\n\nL'accord porte sur les droits d'adaptation de : Asteroids, Adventure, Berzerk, Breakout, Centipede, Crystal Castles, Millipede, Missile Command, Pong et Yars' Revenge. Rien que ça. Universal a d'ailleurs déjà mis la main sur le premier projet issu de ce partenariat, un scénario original signé Matt Reilly (ancien exécutif chez Warner) et Carl Hampe (Hellboy, Chuck, Point Break), tous deux également producteurs sur le film aux côtés de Guymon Casady (Entertainment 360).\n\nLe studio n'a pas précisé sur quel jeu portera ce premier long-métrage, ni si l'ambition est de construire un « univers cinématographique Atari » reliant plusieurs de ces licences entre elles comme cela peut être la mode depuis \"l'ère\" Marvel, avec notamment un Mario qui pourrait bien en prendre la direction.\n\n### On surf sur la pop culture\n\nWade Rosen, PDG d'Atari, a confié à Deadline que la marque, forte de plus de cinquante ans d'histoire, continue de faire partie de la culture populaire bien après la sortie originale de ses jeux, et qu'il se réjouit de collaborer avec Universal et Entertainment 360 pour transposer cet esprit dans un nouveau médium.\n\n### Un pari qui n'est pas nouveau\n\nCe n'est pas la première fois qu'Hollywood lorgne sur le catalogue Atari : des projets autour de Missile Command et Centipede avaient été annoncés en 2016, et un film Asteroids était déjà dans les tuyaux chez Universal en 2009, sans qu'aucun ne voie jamais le jour. Reste à savoir si cette nouvelle tentative ira au bout, dans un contexte où les adaptations de jeux vidéo au cinéma connaissent un succès grandissant, à l'image du dernier film Mario ou encore de la série Sonic\n\nCe qui change cette fois, c'est le contexte : Atari a multiplié les initiatives positives ces dernières années (rachat de Nightdive et Digital Eclipse, nouveau jeu de Jeff Minter, mise en valeur de son immense catalogue rétro) et s'est éloigné de ses aventures dans la crypto. De quoi donner un peu plus de crédit à cette nouvelle tentative cinématographique.\n\n*Sources : [Deadline](https://deadline.com/2026/07/atari-universal-deal-10-game-ip-script-matt-reilly-carl-hampe-entertainment-360-1237001656/), [Engadget](https://www.engadget.com/2222033/universal-secures-rights-for-film-adaptation-of-10-atari-games/), [PC Gamer](https://www.pcgamer.com/movies-tv/atari-signs-10-game-deal-with-universal-for-movies-based-on-pong-breakout-centipede-and-more/), [Shacknews](https://www.shacknews.com/article/150132/atari-universal-pictures-10-movie-deal)*\n\n[Vous appréciez le travail de l’équipe Recalbox ?
