Is that game even popular enough to sell a movie on name recognition? Like I guess it sold pretty well at the time but it's a game from like 10 years ago with no sequels, I don't hear people talk about it much.
Anyway a straight adaptation of the game's story wouldn't be very good either. The appeal of the game is that you have to make split-second decisions that determine which characters live or die. Without the player interaction it would just be a generic slasher movie.
"Death loop" could be an interesting premise even if it has absolutely nothing to do with the game. Did they just want to use the title?
yeah by straight adaptation I mean the writers would just have to make those choices and it's like any other slasher movie, completely ignoring everything that made the game interesting
or it could be an interactive film like Bandersnatch, then it would essentially be a live action version of the game but probably worse
actually I'm liking the death loop premise more and more. it's at least thematically relevant to the game, except the characters are the players. slasher Groundhog Day sounds great if it's done well

How do you get a “straight adaptation”? Doesn’t the story involve certain player actions to reach a good ending where everyone ends up alive?
As I recall there are some fake out moments which make future choices hard to get the good outcome.
Hitman is a game about stealth and they made the movie about 47 gliding through exploding buildings and jumping onto helicopters. They don’r care lol
have the audience vote in the theatre
or do like Clue and send different cuts to different theaters. with digital distribution you could even have changes from one showing to the next.

Late Shift (an FMV) has been “screened” in theaters and the entire audience got to vote.
