Hazelight Studios and Sonic the Hedgehog producer dj2 Entertainment intend to transform in a movie or TV show. Pat Casey and Josh Miller, who wrote both Sonic movies, are on board to adapt the co-op play for the big or small screen. While no studio or network has snapped up the project yet, informs you that a bidding war is in progress.
“Creating the world and history in Take two it was a lot of fun for me and the team,” Hazelight founder and creative director Josef Fares said in a statement. “As it has a strong narrative with a lot of crazy characters and equally crazy co-op action moments, the potential is huge for a great film or television adaptation.”
At the , Take two won three honors, including the Game Gong of the Year. EA published it last March and over three million copies were sold in October. Together with Take two and the sonic movies, dj2 is working on a tomb Raider anime for Netflix. It is also developing a Elysium disk series and one sleeping dogs film.
Although Take two received widespread applause for its platforming and asynchronous split-screen gameplay, several critics disagreed with the “stay together for the kids” story, and a character called The Book of Love. With some finding the plot to be the weakest aspect of the game, it will be interesting to see how this translates into a movie or TV show.
