Netflix and Sega have announced a new partnership that will see a Crazy Taxi film coming to the streaming service in 2027. Dan Gregor and Doug Mand are penning the comedy&#8217;s screenplay, after previously working together on Naked Gun (2025), Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and How I Met Your Mother.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s no director attached to the project, yet. However, Original Film&#8217;s Neal H. Moritz and Toby Ascher are producing the Crazy Taxi movie, alongside Sonic the Hedgehog series producer Toru Nakahara. &#8220;This film is for anyone who&#8217;s spent hours behind the wheel of a yellow cab on their Dreamcast, with the music cranked up, smashing through everything in sight just to make the next fare,&#8221; said Moritz and Ascher in the Netflix press release.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-embed-block alignwide wp-block-gamespot-blocks-video-embed\" data-video-id=\"1863689\" data-player-type=\"jw\" data-youtube-id=\"\" data-jw-id=\"SghST691\" data-age-gate=\"0\" data-autoplayable=\"0\" data-ads-disabled=\"0\" data-container-id=\"video-embed-1\">\n<div class=\"video-embed-container\" id=\"video-embed-1\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Netflix and Sega collaboration also includes a new Sonic animated show aimed at &#8220;an upper preschool audience,&#8221; as well as a live-action movie based on Stranger Than Heaven. The latter is the newest game from developer RGG Studio&#8211;known for the Yakuza and Like A Dragon titles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, it will be intriguing to see how much the Crazy Taxi movie ties into Crazy Taxi: World Tour. The new arcade racing game will feature lore this time, such as driver backstories for why they got behind the wheel in the first place.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fascinatingly enough, Sega has been trying to get a Crazy Taxi movie out on the road for basically two decades. In fact, Superman and The Goonies director Richard Donner was attached to direct the adaptation at one point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-gamespot-blocks-embed-gallery\">\n<div class=\"image-gallery-collection\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Top 10 Highest Highest-Grossing Video Game Movies Image Gallery\">\n<h2 class=\"image-gallery-heading has-m-font-size\">Top 10 Highest Highest-Grossing Video Game Movies<\/h2>\n<div class=\"image-gallery__main count-7\">\n<figure class=\"image-gallery__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"636\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/original\/1179\/11799911\/4123585-screenshot2023-04-10at7.49.39am.png?w=636\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"4123585-screenshot2023-04-10at7.49.39am.png\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image-gallery__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"636\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/original\/1179\/11799911\/4123586-screenshot2023-04-10at7.45.15am.png?w=636\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"4123586-screenshot2023-04-10at7.45.15am.png\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image-gallery__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"636\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-26-at-8.19.33-AM.png?w=636\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Screenshot 2026-05-26 at 8.19.33\u202fAM\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image-gallery__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"636\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-26-at-8.19.46-AM.png?w=636\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Screenshot 2026-05-26 at 8.19.46\u202fAM\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image-gallery__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"636\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/original\/1179\/11799911\/4426453-screenshot2025-01-13at9.31.40am.png?w=636\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"4426453-screenshot2025-01-13at9.31.40am.png\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image-gallery__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"636\" height=\"299\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/original\/1179\/11799911\/3954021-screenshot2022-03-18at1.37.36pm.png?w=636\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"3954021-screenshot2022-03-18at1.37.36pm.png\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image-gallery__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"636\" height=\"313\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/original\/1179\/11799911\/3954020-screenshot2022-03-18at1.36.03pm.png?w=636\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"3954020-screenshot2022-03-18at1.36.03pm.png\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<div class=\"image-gallery__item image-gallery__item--show-more\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\tView Images\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/crazy-taxi-gets-crazier-with-crazy-ex-girlfriend-writers-for-new-movie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Crazy Taxi franchise isn&#8217;t just getting a brand-new game next year; it&#8217;s also getting a live-action movie.
