Sony Pictures chairman and chief executive officer, Tony Vinciquerra, has revealed that the company currently has ten movies and television shows based on PlayStation IPs in production. Speaking to CNBC (via MediaPost), Vinciquerra revealed that three of the projects are movies, and the remaining seven are TV shows.
Some of the projects have already been revealed, including the
The Last of Us HBO series. The rest of them are still under wraps. According to Vinciquerra, these projects are part of the ‘One Sony’ program, which aims to integrate Sony’s various divisions. He added that Sony doesn’t plan to release its productions on streaming platforms and theaters simultaneously à la Warner Bros., who announced that all 17 of its movies scheduled for 2021 will be released simultaneously in theaters and streaming platforms.

Sony Pictures is working on at least 10 different projects right now that are based on PlayStation IPs according to Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra. Those projects are comprised of three different movies and seven different TV shows, though it wasn’t specified what properties those theatrical and TV releases would be based off of. Vinciquerra indicated that we’ll see more integrations of Sony’s separate companies like these collaborations in the future.

Vinciquerra remained confident that Sony Pictures’ projects would not suffer much during the next year and said that big blockbuster releases would be significant draws to get people to theaters and see movies once people felt safe to do so.
