Sorry, it’s the US remake of Oldboy, starring Josh Brolin. Still, didn’t see that coming, did you? Yes, the creators of countryside hike-em-up Firewatch [official site] have partnered with production company Good Universe to make a movie about the game, as well as work together on future projects, says the Hollywood Reporter. There aren’t many details about the movie itself, or what these ‘future projects’ might be, but come and read some exciting soundbites from all the people involved!
“When we met Good Universe we were floored by how they recognize, cultivate and produce incredible stories. It’s rare you meet another group that shares so many of your values and makes the process of creating things even more exciting. We can’t wait to see what we make together,” said Campo Santo founder Sean Vanaman.
I’ve just torn that out of the original article. I’m very lazy. The production company also worked on the comedies Neighbours and The Night Before, as well as the horror movie Don’t Breathe, which got decent reviews if Metacritic is to be trusted.
Meanwhile, Firewatch was very well received and, as source material for a videogame movie goes, it stands the best chance of being made into something good. I was not overly impressed by the hiking and radio calls of Campo Santo’s work. But John loved it and it made it into our list of the best games of the year so far. Plus, if you really want to explore that landscape, you can even take an audio tour of it. So, I guess, what do I know, eh?
i loved the game, and i think it works WONDERFULLY with the game, because as i said before, both the characters paranoia and your paranoia slowly rise together, to the point where your own idea of whats happening and your own prejudices start to feed in, making the ending as much about your own inability to look past your preconceptions as much as your characters... which makes it a super unique experience.
without that, its JUST the character, which would make the film kinda... forced and manipulative... it wont have the same effect.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"
They can't make an article about anything without turning the title into clickbait, can they?
Haha yeah, good thing we have the text as well here, so no clicks will be given to fund their patreon.
I refuse to believe that whoever is responsible for the US remake of Oldboy is capable of releasing a decent movie, but I'd be open to surprises*
