Det verkar som att det finns ett intresse från utvecklaren Techland att göra en film- eller TV-tolkning av Dying Light. Zombieserien har länge varit en favorit bland gamers, och med framgången för 28 Years Later menar franchise director Tymon Smektala i en intervju med oss att vi kan stå inför en ny zombie-renässans. Han förklarar:
"We didn't kind of cooperate this with Danny Boyle and the team behind 28 Years Later. But I actually do hope that both the movie and our game might be kind of like the renaissance of zombies in popular culture. I think they were a little bit quieter, not screaming brains as much as they used to, but I think it's time for them to come back because I think as a context, as a backdrop, as a framework to a story, this is something really very powerful."
När ämnet spelfilmatiseringar kommer på tal tillägger han:
"When it comes to adaptations, right, for Dying Light, there's actually not that much to announce or not that much to talk about. Of course, this is something we are exploring as I think everyone who has an interesting franchise, an interesting IP, an interesting world that can be made into a movie. But what I'm sure of is that Dying Light actually brings a lot of unique aspects, a lot of interesting aspects, a lot of aspects that only Dying Light has that actually would make a kickass movie, action movie or series. And I really do hope that this will happen someday in the future."
Dying Light: The Beast släpps den 22 augusti till PC, Playstation 5 och Xbox Series S/X. Kolla gärna in vår fullständiga intervju med Smektala nedan.
