Remedy Entertainment has announced a partnership with film company Annapurna Pictures to bring the Alan Wake and Control games to the silver screen, which is perhaps an expected move given the nature of these games.
Remedy Entertainment is known to focus on the narrative creativity element in its story games, and as fans know, they are full of realistic cinematic scenes. The Alan Wake and Control games had real characters playing their heroes, and the cinematic scenes in them were scenes performed by the actors themselves.
Converting the above games into movies will be a bit easier than converting any other game into a movie, because the storylines in these movies don't need new ideas or scenarios, and the game's cast, which could also be part of these movies, is ready.
The partnership will benefit both companies. For example, one of the conditions is that Annapurna Pictures will own the rights to these films, and in return it will provide financial support for the game Control 2, as it will work to finance 50% of its development process, as agreed between the two parties.
in His talk About this beautiful deal between the two companies, Megan Ellison, CEO of Annapurna Pictures, said:
“The future of storytelling requires a unique fusion of film, games and TV, and this partnership will allow us to experiment with new ways to bring these titles to life. We will do this by leveraging the incredible talent on the Remedy team.”
Remedy Entertainment has a number of exciting titles already in development, including Control 2, another online project set in the game's universe, and a remake of the first two games in the Max Payne series.
