Film company Annapurna Picturesunder which the publisher of the game Annapurna Interactive also falls, decided to adapt last year’s hit To roam by BlueTwelve studio. Annapurna Animation will create, as the name suggests, an animated film based on a cat’s adventures in a dystopian world.
“It’s a game about what makes us human, but it’s not human,” Annapurna’s animation director told Entertainment Weekly. Robert Baird“I think one of the reasons for the incredible popularity of the game is that you see the world from the point of view of a cute cat. How did the creators do it in the game and how will it be done in the movie? It will happen, even if at times it seems impossible to us. We know this is the essence of the game and the key to storytelling.”
“People join the game for all sorts of reasons and I think it’s a mystery to us at Annapurna. What is so popular in this game? The question then is how to adapt the game into a long story format that is very attentive to the game itself and the audience, but still withstands criticism like a movie. This process is always part of the task,” he adds.
Annapurna is also looking at other plays that may make it to the cinema or TV screens. And he has plenty to choose from, let’s name a few. 12 minutes (with star cast), Neon White, And memoirs are blue, Kentucky Route Zero or What’s left of Edith Finch. The company then develops the adventure game in-house. Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth.
