Elliot Page is developing a TV adaptation of Quantic Dream’s baffling interactive drama game Beyond: Two Souls, and we’re as confused as you

I dislike speaking about David Cage’s oeuvre as a lot as most of you do, however it is a head-scratcher price speaking about: Elliot Web page, who starred within the sport again within the day, is planning to adapt Beyond: Two Souls (2013) right into a TV present.

Yep, that is the weirdo, disjointed sport about particular lady Jodie Holmes and soul/ghost-like entity Aiden having a tough time because the worst individuals ever attempt to management them and their powers. Willem Dafoe was additionally round doing his factor, and whereas each actors turned in strong performances, the general consensus is that they could not fairly elevate a far too scattered (and sometimes misguided) narrative, even when some sections had been cool and the visible presentation was notable.

Deadline shared the news, stating that Web page’s “Pageboy Productions has acquired the rights from online game developer Quantic Dream.” The online game, which blended each your common interactive narrative online game design with extra hands-on gameplay sections, already performed out like a (complicated) TV present, so we’re unsure about what the angle is right here except heavy rewrites occur. Possibly they will rework it into one thing that is not embarrassing!

In the event you’ve been circling this trade’s information for a very long time, you might also keep in mind Web page having a tough time whereas engaged on Past (and after its release) and Cage being not the best boss around at Quantic Dream (to place it flippantly). Nonetheless, he is overtly said he was pleased sufficient with the expertise and finish consequence to return to that story: “Filming the sport was one of the vital difficult and fulfilling performing experiences of my profession… The story’s wealthy narrative and emotional depth provide us a incredible basis. We wish to create a novel imaginative and prescient of the characters and their journeys that resonates with followers and newcomers.” Maybe that is seen as an opportunity to proper some wrongs, however we’ll should see how the mission develops into one thing tangible.

As for Quantic Dream and David Cage’s involvement, plainly they’re going to have some enter. “I used to be blown away by his performing efficiency within the sport, and I couldn’t consider anybody else to inform this story with the identical ardour on one other medium,” the veteran artistic mentioned.
