Speaking in-between rounds of increasingly spicy wings during the latest episode of Hot Ones on the [URL='https://youtu.be/bqagZJZulXY?feature=shared']First We Feast YouTube channel[/URL], Wolfhard revealed his big idea is to make a [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/crazy-taxi']Crazy Taxi[/URL] movie. Crazy Taxi is an arcade racing game series from Sega that blew up in the late ‘90s and enjoyed continued success on the Dreamcast and other consoles. It’s an over-the-top, time-based race to drive passengers to their destinations as quickly and stylishly as possible. Crazy Taxi, then, is perhaps an odd choice for a video game movie, but Wolfhard’s idea isn’t as simple as a faithful adaptation. “I had an idea to do a Crazy Taxi movie, and the idea was like it’s Collateral, but it’s Crazy Taxi. I think that would be very fun.” [URL='https://www.ign.com/movies/collateral']Collateral[/URL] is a 2004 movie in which Tom Cruise plays a hitman who poses as a cab driver while driving Jamie Foxx around during a contract killing spree.
