Med över 1,5 miljoner sålda kopior har rymdäventyret från familjen Fryxelius cementerat sig som en riktig modern brädspelsklassiker. Något som nu har bolaget Cobalt Knight sett till att plocka upp filmningsrättigheterna till och planerar omvandla till antingen film eller TV-serie med fokus på teman snarlikt de som återfinnes i brädspelet. Bolagets två grundare har båda kommenterat på nyheten och hade följande att säga.
"The Terraforming Mars world offers incredible storytelling potential. We are excited to explore the unique human drama that inherently comes along with running a company tasked with literally creating oceans, building prosperous cities, and balancing the ecology of plant and animal life."
"In many ways, the game exhibits strong parallels to the Age of Discovery when European superpowers were sailing around the globe trying to lay claim to everything they touched. This makes it the perfect choice for adaptation, using a distinct and hyperrealistic setting to revisit a familiar narrative conflict."
Enoch Fryxelius som är en av skaparna bakom Terraforming Mars gav ett samlat uttalande från famlijen.
"Jacob and the rest of us brothers have invested many years in Terraforming Mars. It's much more than just another sci-fi board game - it's a vision of a possible and positive future for humanity not so far down the road. It's based on real science ideas and ideas borrowed from science fiction. This could be us in 200 years. We are so excited to see this vision come to life on the screen. We hope this will expand the TM community even further. And we hope that more people will be gripped by the vision of a new home for humanity on Mars."
Vad tror du om detta, kan Terraforming Mars göra sig som TV-serie eller film?
