A movie adaptation of the psychological thriller Martha is Dead is in active development.
Horror fans loved the dark first-person thriller in which you uncover the mysterious death of your own twin sister Martha. Set in Italy during the dark times of 1944, the game addresses the traumatic experience of losing a loved one and the brutal reality of war.
The story will soon be told once again, but this time on the big screen in the form of a feature film, as the publisher of the game has announced.
“Bringing This To Life As A Film Is A Dream Come True,” Says The Games Writer
In collaboration with the games dev studio LKA and the Swedish film-production company Studios Extraordinaires, the movie aims to breathe new life into the haunting tale and make the story accessible to a broader audience. The movie adaptation of Martha Is Dead is taking form through a close partnership with Luca Dalcò, the Founder and Director of LKA, and the Creator of Martha Is Dead. He commented on this opportunity:
Every element of Martha is Dead was created with extraordinary precision and care. The narrative's complexity was meticulously planned, visualised, and even shaped with a cinematic quality in mind. Bringing this to life as a film is a dream come true.
André Hedetoft and Andreas Troedsson from Studios Extraordinaires will collaborate as co-directors for the film, contributing as the scriptwriter and the cinematographer of the movie.
Since the game has turned the stomachs of many players, it will be interesting to see how the entire body horror experience is translated onto the big screen. The publisher, Wired Productions, have promised to release more details soon, so stay tuned!
