Elliott Page (formerly known as Ellen Page) and his company, Pageboy Productions, have acquired the rights to create a series based on Beyond: Two Souls. In the original game, he portrayed Jodie Holmes, the protagonist with extraordinary abilities. The project is still in the early stages, so it's too early to think of a release date.
Whatâs important here? First, we donât have to worry about the project being ruined by outsiders who donât understand the gameâs essence. After all, there arenât many people who understand the nuances of the lore better than the lead actor. If Keanu Reeves were to make a series based on Cyberpunk 2077, weâd probably have the same level of trust in him.
Second, the trend of TV adaptations of popular games continues, and thatâs exciting. Sure, not all shows and films are made well, but thereâs always increased interest in the original source material. Plus, Quantic Dream has always blurred the lines between video games and cinema, but in the reverse direction. It feels like the risk of failure here is lower. However, it's still too early to say what will become of the projectâso much can change in the near future.
