Netflix’s Next Video Game Movie: A Sega Arcade Classic Returns
Netflix is developing a new video game movie based on Crazy Taxi, the popular Sega arcade game. This collaboration with Sega includes multiple adaptations, and it involves the writers of The Naked Gun reboot.
Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, known for their comedic writing in The Naked Gun (2025), will pen the screenplay. Neal H. Moritz, Toby Ascher, and Sega’s Toru Nakahara are producing. While Netflix has not revealed details about the cast, director, or release date, the project is certainly exciting for fans of both Sega and Netflix.
Crazy Taxi, which made its debut in 1999, became an iconic arcade driving game. Players take on the role of taxi drivers navigating chaotic city streets to deliver passengers on time. The game’s unique gameplay and memorable characters have left a lasting impression.
The Netflix-Sega partnership extends beyond Crazy Taxi. They are also developing animated Sonic the Hedgehog content and live-action adaptations like Stranger Than Heaven, based on an upcoming Sega game.
Netflix has been increasingly partnering with video game franchises, adapting popular titles like Assassin’s Creed, Gears of War, Minecraft, and more into films and series. With these collaborations, Netflix is diversifying its content while appealing to gaming enthusiasts worldwide.
For now, the Crazy Taxi movie remains in development, with no official production or release date announcements yet.
