    If they do it right, everyone will leave the theater not having a clue what happen, and will have to go to interment forums and read hours of lore written by a kid that hasn’t left his home in years.

    It better pay off, the bigger the investment the bigger the expectations. When investments don’t pay off executives and investors begin stepping between the artists and the art.

    I’ll probably watch it but I just have a hard time seeing the vibe of the game translate well. There’s definitely enough there for a good story to be told via movie but again, given how often these sort of project get corrupted by studio execs. Also, the transition from silent protag to presumably a protag being acted and given lines…

    Like I’d love a half life movie but it’d be impossible to do.

    There’s way more ways to do this wrong than for it to go right. But A24 has been on a roll lately so I’ll try and stay optimistic.

    I’d rather not. I liked the game. I don’t think it needs a whole movie about it.
