Is this important?

"Levy had previously been attached to the film Uncharted, an adaptation of the video game series of the same name, before he left to make Free Guy.[20]"

What does that have to do, really, with Free Guy? 73.127.147.187 (talk) 10:18, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If it is not clear enough then I guess the phrasing needs to be improved. Levy had previously been attached make a film about an actual video game directly before making this film about a fictional video game. I think that alone is worth mentioning. Perhaps more context is needed, if you read the referenced article, Levy said: "I feel like being liberated from literal adaptation was a gift. Before this, I was attached to “Uncharted” for a year and a half. I was always conscious that if you adapt a video game, you have to service the expectations. To be in the service of nothing but our own viewing delight allowed us to pull on influences that were disparate and ranged from Grand Theft Auto to Fortnight to Halo to “The Truman Show” to “Elf” and it’s this culturally fluent hodgepodge." If succinctly summarizing that sentiment was simple I'd have done it sooner. -- 109.78.193.194 (talk) 03:02, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Genre again

An anonymous editor added more genres.[1] Then another editor removed all but that recently added genre in a good faith effort to follow the WP:FILMGENRE guidelines and list only the primary genre.

As I said previously (see Talk:Free_Guy/Archive_1#Genre) the primary genre is not clear so I looked at the reliable sources already included in the lead and used the genres they seemed to suggest, which was "action comedy". Other sources exist, and the genre can be made more clear we can go with something else. Please show sources. (Variety.com[2] for example manages not to mention sci-fi and instead calls it a "Meta-Video Game Rom-Com". The Hollywood Reporter[3] calls it an "adventure-comedy", and also a "video-game-inspired movie".) Again I'm happy to go with what the reliable sources say but it wasn't like any of them were all that certain about the genre. -- 109.77.205.36 (talk) 04:25, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
