PROJECT DETAILS
  • The project is supposedly on the "fast track" with production hoping to begin sometime in early 2015. (8/4/14)
  • Lionsgate bought the rights in 2011 but the project stalled when production head Alli Shearmur left the studio the following year, which eventually resulted in the rights being reverted back to Deep Silver.
  • Lionsgate (who owns the rights to the film adaptation) president Joe Drake was quoted saying: "This is exactly the type of property we’re looking to adapt at Lionsgate – it’s sophisticated, edgy, and a true elevation of a genre that we know and love. It also has built in brand recognition around the world, and franchise potential."
  • It's said that the story will focus on "family ties and non-linear storytelling."
  • The project is said to be drawing its inspiration from the first trailer that was released for the game in February 2011, where it received hundreds of thousands of views in just a matter of days. You can view the trailer here.
  • Based on the video game with the same name.
