In the realm of video game adaptations, shows like Prime Video’s “Fallout” and HBO’s “The Last of Us” have significantly elevated the bar previously set. With outstanding acting and directorial awards, Hollywood has barely scratched the surface of the thrilling tales found within the gaming world. While Quantic Dream has been leading the way in narrative storytelling through motion-capture performances, one of their notable titles is moving to Hollywood with the assistance of “Umbrella Academy” actor Elliot Page.
As a devoted admirer, I’m thrilled to share that Deadline has announced a television adaptation of the 2013 video game masterpiece, “Beyond: Two Souls,” is underway at Pageboy Productions! This captivating game was brought to life by Quantic Dream and Sony Computer Entertainment, premiering at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival.
Starring Elliot Page as Jodie Holmes, a young woman with extraordinary powers connected to Aiden, an ethereal entity separated from her since birth, the game unfolds a gripping tale. Willem Dafoe plays Nathan Dawkins, Jodie’s mentor from the Department of Paranormal Activity who has been looking after her following a heartbreaking accident.
The narrative takes us on an adventurous journey as Jodie navigates military bases and otherworldly perils to uncover her true destiny. The game received varied reviews, but the stellar performances by Page and Dafoe were widely acknowledged. I can’t wait to see this intriguing story unfold on our TV screens!
Beyond: Two Souls Video Game Adaptation in the Works
As the series adaptation of “Beyond: Two Souls” is still in its initial stages, Elliot Page, who played a pivotal role in the original game, shared their thoughts about the forthcoming project. They expressed, “Acting in the game was one of the most demanding and rewarding experiences I’ve had professionally…The story’s deep narrative and emotional complexity provide us with an excellent starting point. Our aim is to craft a distinctive portrayal of the characters and their journeys that strikes a chord with both dedicated fans and newcomers.
In a recent development, the production company Pageboy Productions obtained the rights for the game “Beyond: Two Souls” from its creators at Quantic Dream. David Cage, the director and writer of Quantic Dream, expressed his admiration for the acting performance in the game and felt that Elliot was the perfect choice to continue telling this story on a different platform. He stated, “I was utterly amazed by his acting in the game, and I couldn’t imagine anyone else conveying this tale with the same fervor on another medium.” “Beyond: Two Souls” holds a special place for millions of players worldwide who were touched by the narrative of Jodie and Aiden, and their journey through life and beyond. Cage believes that Elliot possesses the talent and intuition to make it an exceptional television production.
Currently, we’re unsure which platform will host “Beyond: Two Souls” as a TV show in the future, but expect updates within the coming months.
