Netflix creates film based on Crazy Taxi

Netflix has announced that it will produce a film based on the popular SEGA game Crazy Taxi. This franchise, which originated in 1999, has had a significant impact on the gaming industry and has since become an icon. It will be interesting to see which direction Netflix chooses to take when translating this game to the big screen.
