Elliot Page's Pageboy Productions is adapting Quantic Dream's Beyond: Two Souls into a television series.
According to Deadline, Page's production company secured the rights from Quantic Dream, aiming to translate the video game's non-linear narrative into a compelling television show. The project is in its early stages of development, with further details regarding casting and release dates yet to be announced.
Page described his experience filming the game as "one of the most challenging and fulfilling acting experiences" of his career, highlighting the story's "rich narrative and emotional depth." He emphasized the team's desire to create a unique adaptation that resonates with both existing fans and new audiences.
Matt Jordan Smitt, head of development and production at Pageboy, underscored the team's commitment to honoring the game's legacy while incorporating fresh perspectives. He noted the importance of exploring themes of survival and the impact of crucial decisions on individual lives.
Originally released for PlayStation 3 in 2013, Beyond: Two Souls later arrived on PlayStation 4 (2015) and PC (2019). Directed and written by David Cage of Quantic Dream, the game follows Jodie Holmes, a young woman with psychic abilities and her connection to a spirit named Aiden. The game's non-linear storytelling and star-studded cast, including Page and Willem Dafoe, garnered significant attention.
Cage confirmed his collaboration with Page on the television adaptation, although the specifics of his involvement remain undisclosed. He expressed his enthusiasm for the project and confidence in Page's ability to bring a unique vision to the small screen.
