Sony Pictures Takes On a New Thriller Video Game Adaptation
According to the report, after the two companies acquired The Drifter film rights, a slew of writers and directors reached out to pitch their ideas for approaching the story. Sony is already about to release a new video game adaptation to film, with their take on the Resident Evil franchise arriving on September 18. Story Kitchen also has a number of video game adaptations in the works, including Tomb Raider projects for Prime Video and Netflix; Life is Strange for Prime Video; a new Just Cause movie in development at Universal Pictures; and a film based on the Streets of Rage franchise in development with Lionsgate.
Considering the source material, there are a few directions to take this if they're going to do what many filmmakers do with video games: put their own stamp on it. Very few studios ever look at a gaming IP and stick directly to the source material. That said, The Drifter is one of those games where you don't need to do a lot of work to adapt the story for film. We'll see who they peg for the writing and directing roles in the months to come.
About The Drifter
Mick Carter's been drifting a while now, moving from job to job, never staying in one place long. Jumping a box-car to his old hometown, he witnesses a violent murder, is pursued by hi-tech soldiers, thrown in a reservoir, and drowned. And that's just the start of Mick's problems. His consciousness ripped away, thrust back into his own body seconds before his death… Framed for the killing he witnessed, tormented by his own past, and haunted by the feeling that something followed him back from the other side… Follow Mick as he's sucked headfirst into a lunatic web of shadowy corporations, murder, and the thousand-year obsession of a madman.
