Remedy has announced it’s partnering with the boutique movie studio, which will also co-finance and co-produce Control 2
Remedy Entertainment has announced that it’s partnering with Annapurna to develop movie and TV adaptations of its much-loved supernatural game series, Alan Wake and Control.
There’s no more detail on the projects than that — just the suggestion that the two companies are looking to turn Alan Wake and Control into multimedia franchises across “film, television and other audiovisual formats.” Or perhaps that should be franchise, singular; there are many references to the first Alan Wake in Control, suggesting that the games share a universe.
Despite its reputation as a boutique movie studio with a focus on arty, auteur-led projects like Spike Jonze’s Her and Barry Jenkins’ If Beale Street Could Talk, it sounds as though Annapurna sees its deal with Remedy as a respectable way into the franchise business.
