In the category "unusual adaptations" we ask… Dragon's Lair ! It seems that the cult game is being adapted by Netflix. The bonus? Ryan Reynolds has reportedly been approached to play the title role. Dragon's lair is one of the most famous games in the world of retro-gaming. Because it's a good game? That nenni! On the contrary, it is known for its simply insane difficulty. Many youtubers have broken their teeth there. The best known in France is of course the Attic Player, with his video with 9 million views (bigre…). Initially, Dragon's Lair was released in 1983 on arcade. We play as Dirk, a paladin who has gone to rescue Princess Daphne. He will then spend his time having his head dismantled (that's the scientific term) in every way imaginable. The game is essentially based on various animated videos, created by the legendary Don Bluth (animator of Rox & Rouky, Peter and Elliot the Dragon and many others). In short, if you wanted to finish this game on arcade, you had to cough up a certain amount of money. 
This interactive adventure has been ported several times to many consoles. Atari, GameBoy, PS2, GameCube, PC and even on Switch. Yes, yes! This game continues to pursue traumatized players. Enough to revive some painful memories for some. The choice of Ryan Reynolds in this adaptation, however, seems most judicious. The interpreter of Deadpool is indeed a regular of crazy and unusual roles. Let's hope that this casting choice is confirmed. Adapting Dragon's Lair would be an opportunity to discover a very retro adventure film full of references. It remains to be seen who Netflix would put at the helm of such a project. Dragon's Lair offers a lot of potential for an adaptation, as long as you hire a talented director. Then? Future cult film of the platform? Or future failure? The future will tell. In the meantime, (re)discover the hilarious video of the Attic Player on the subject!
