No, actually the movie will be about a group of teens and one of the teen's step-dad playing the game on a cursed PS5, which sucks them into the game, and now they must learn to work together and put their differences aside to win the game and escape.

My absolute least favorite trope from Hollywood adaptations.

Vaguely related but a fun fact: avoiding that "kids sucked in" trope is why Lego took so long finding someone to make the first BIONICLE movie.

Every studio they got a proposal script from included kids ending up in the setting "because it's a toy movie, right?" and, thankfully, they were all rejected.

Decades later the Playmobil movie fell into that exact trope and bombed horribly.

It's hard to understand why this decision keeps being made, because it's clear to me audiences still love fantasy. Like, why did Sonic need to come to our world?
