Sweeney will produce (so far) and Bay will direct the adaptation of the successful 1980s video game franchise which had players driving a Ferrari car.

The original Out Run was released in arcades in 1986 and was designed by Yu Suzuki (Space Harrier, Hang-On, After Burner, Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter, Shenmue).

Universal is tasking Michael Bay and Sydney Sweeney to turn a Sega gaming franchise into the studio's next cinematic hit.
