Outlast Movie Adaptation Announced By Lionsgate And Horror Legend Producer
Lionsgate has made a deal with Red Barrels to bring the horror game series Outlast to the big screen. This marks another video game series that is attempting to make the transition to film.
Lionsgate’s Experience in Horror
Lionsgate has experience with horror movies, having produced the popular Saw franchise. This could be beneficial in bringing the Outlast series to life on the big screen.
Producer Roy Lee on Board
Producer Roy Lee, who has worked on horror films like It and Barbarian, is attached to the Outlast movie. Lee comments on the potential of the Outlast universe, saying “Outlast set a new standard for immersion in the horror genre, and its lore provides a perfect foundation for making a movie about psychological and physical horror.”
J.T. Petty Writing the Screenplay
J.T. Petty, who also worked on the game series, is writing the screenplay for the Outlast movie. Petty sees this as an opportunity to delve deeper into the characters and killers of the Outlast universe.
Red Barrels on Board
Red Barrels co-founder and creative director David Chateauneuf is excited about the opportunity to work on an Outlast film with horror legends like Lee. Chateauneuf comments, “Horror movies old and new have had an undeniable impact on our franchise over the years, and to now have the opportunity to work on an Outlast film is a dream come true.”
No Release Date Yet
While the deal has been announced, there is no word yet on when the Outlast movie may be released or who could star in it or direct. The project is still in its early stages, and there are no guarantees that it will come to fruition.
The Outlast series debuted in 2013, with Outlast 2 landing in 2017 and The Outlast Trials debuting in 2023. The series follows a journalist who visits a psychiatric hospital, with predictable and terrifying consequences.
There is much to be excited about with this new project. Fans of the Outlast series will be eagerly awaiting any updates on the movie’s progress.
