Netflix is developing a film adaptation of Sega's arcade racing series Crazy Taxi, tapping Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, who wrote the 2025 Naked Gun reboot, to pen the script. Producers Neal H.

GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The project extends Sega's push to translate its gaming catalog into film and streaming content following the commercial success of the Sonic movies. Pairing comedic writers with a chaotic, arcade-style property suggests Netflix wants a irreverent tone rather than a straight action adaptation, mirroring how Sonic's producers balanced humor with box-office appeal.
- Netflix is adapting Sega's Crazy Taxi into a feature film.
- Naked Gun reboot writers Dan Gregor and Doug Mand will write the script.
- Sonic movie producers Moritz, Ascher, and Nakahara are producing, alongside a new 'edgier' Sonic series.
