Bloober Group’s been on one thing of a roll not too long ago. The Silent Hill 2 remake was a success, it is acquired a Silent Hill 1 remake and an interesting-looking sci-fi survival horror recreation within the works, and its new horror label is engaged on an isometric adaptation of the Eisner-nominated comedian guide I Hate This Place. Not unhealthy for a studio everybody anticipated to tank it only a couple years in the past.
Now there’s extra excellent news for Bloober: Its 2001 psychological horror hit The Medium is being tailored right into a film. The Hollywood Reporter says the rights to make a movie based mostly on the sport have been secured by Coin Operated, a manufacturing firm based by Gary Dauberman, a screenwriter and director whose credit embody the 2017 horror movie It, based mostly on the famed Stephen King novel, and the 2019 sequel It Chapter Two. He additionally helped head up the large display adaptation of Till Daybreak that got here out earlier this yr.
“With its compelling story and extremely cinematic visuals, The Medium is a pure for a function movie adaptation,” Dauberman mentioned. “Once I talked to Piotr [Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno] about it, we instantly related on our mutual love of horror and his imaginative and prescient for the place the style is headed. I’ve little question something Bloober develops goes to push horror ahead in distinctive and terrifying methods, and I’m excited to be working alongside them.”
Babieno had equally good phrases for Dauberman: “Adapting video games into movies typically entails balancing many pursuits, however with The Medium, I’ve a deep sense that Gary is the proper companion for us. From our very first dialog, I felt we have been utterly in sync. And each dialog since has solely strengthened that feeling.”
The Medium met with blended evaluations when it launched again in 2021: We beloved it—reviewer Len Hafer mentioned The Medium is “elevated by a number of the sharpest writing and performing within the style”—whereas another websites have been much less enthusiastic. But it surely enjoys a “very constructive” score throughout almost 6,700 consumer evaluations on Steam, and it was additionally a money-maker for Bloober, which mentioned the sport had coated its improvement and advertising and marketing prices only a couple days after launch.
The one query amidst all that is the place it leaves the TV sequence based mostly on The Medium that was revealed in 2022. So far as I can inform there’s been no motion on that entrance since that announcement: The Bloober Group investor relations web site would not seem to have something extra about it, though it is solely in Polish so I am counting on some probably dodgy Google-translated searches. I’ve reached out to Bloober to ask if that is nonetheless taking place (or if it already occurred and no person seen), and can replace if I obtain a reply.
