Final Fantasy 7 director would ‘love’ another movie based on the game
Yoshinori Kitase would like to see a Final Fantasy 7 film or TV series
Square Enix veteran Yoshinori Kitase has said he’d love to see another movie or a TV series based on Final Fantasy 7.
Series brand manager Kitase, who directed Final Fantasy 6, 7 and 8, and is currently serving as producer on the FF7 remake trilogy, was asked about the potential for a movie or TV adaptation during a recent interview.
“We don’t have anything officially planned and so this is just strictly my personal sort of wish, but yeah, I’ve heard about various Hollywood directors and actors playing Final Fantasy 7, and many creators also respect the title,” Kitase told Danny Peña.
“I’ve been hearing things about creators out there who are very interested in the property, who love the Final Fantasy 7 universe,” he continued. “And so yeah, personally I’d love to see something that comes out of these creators, in terms of like a cinematic or some kind of visual piece.”
Kitase also previously worked on Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children, a 2005 CG film that continued the story of the original game.
Advent Children Complete, the director’s cut of the movie, had a limited run in US theaters for the first time last year, ahead of the PS5 release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which will be released for PC on January 23, 2025.
