    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.

      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
