A new horror video game film adaptation is in the works according to a fresh report from Bloody Disgusting -- and there's a foreboding feeling that it won't be the cheesy Resident Evil type. Lionsgate has revealed that the studio will be working with the game developers at Red Barrels to bring a big-screen take on Outlast to theaters.
Horror-wise, Lionsgate is renowned for the studio's work on the Saw saga, so Outlast may be in the proper hands to do the series justice. The first film in the Saw series, directed by James Wan, would go on to generate over $103 million in revenue on a budget of just around $1.2 million in 2004. Following that extremely-profitable debut, the entire slate of movies would go on to cross over $1.1 billion in sales worldwide.
Roy Lee will be heading the upcoming project as lead producer. Lee has pedigree in the horror genre, having a recent history of working on It, It Chapter Two, The Turning and HBO's Salem's Lot adaptation. J.T. Perry, who worked with Red Barrels to develop the story, will be penning the script for the upcoming adaptation.
History Repeating Itself?
Lionsgate will likely...
