Studios Shot Down a Crash Bandicoot Movie, Says Sega of America CEO

Former Sony executive Shuji Utsumi reveals that Hollywood turned down his pitches for a Crash Bandicoot movie.

Utsumi--who is currently the CEO of Sega of America--told The Game Business about his attempt to bring Crash Bandicoot to the big screen. Although the Crash Bandicoot games were originally developed by Naughty Dog, the rights to the character are currently held by Microsoft after its purchase of Activision Blizzard. Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann recently expressed his support for a Crash Bandicoot movie, but he also reiterated that it's Microsoft's call whether to actually pursue that project.
