The video game was a delight! I’m hungry for more games from them after my spouse and I played their whole portfolio.
Curious how a movie adaptation will turn out.

Didn’t that game have a really stupid story?

Yeah this movie is going to be hot garbage. It’s the classic “oh video game made money so movie will make money” reaction from execs who think that all popular video games are just Minecraft and therefore it’s a film cash cow

I’m guessing Sydney would be playing Zoe, are we going to have a cringe British accent from her?

From the article:
Sources tell Variety it has yet to be decided which lead role Sweeney will be playing: Zoe or Mio.

I had read the article, but thought I’d put my guess out to create discussion 🙂

The problem is that there is only 3 actual characters in the whole story and then set decorations. And their characters are basically, white girl, brown girl, and bad dude.
She could be the big baddy just because gender swapping Hollywood

The game is already perfect, why ruin it with a movie adaptation?

Because maybe some people don’t have anyone to play the game with. 🥲

The game released like 6 weeks ago and it already has a film deal with a director and lead actor attached? What the hell?

Movies have been doing tie-ins for decades. It costs a lot of money to release a game and they probably had feelers out months before the release.

But on an unproven new IP? That’s unusual. Like Split Fiction is popular, so it worked out, but they must have been putting in a fair amount of work on the prayer that it was well received.
