Much like the first game, the movie was planned to follow the story of the first book, though scriptwriter F. Scott Frazier planned to Americanise it, setting it in Washington D. C. Unfortunately – or fortunately, depending on how you see it – production has been halted and the rights have reverted to Glukhovsky.
“The project with MGM optioning this book and developing a script had brought us to nothing and the rights reverted to me,” Glukhovsky tells me during a recent interview. “So currently we are speaking with a new set of producers about a possible adaptation but this is a very long and difficult process. I’m still optimistic.
