Firewatch Hollywood adaptation takes indie hit from consoles to movies screens

Hollywood has found a new game studio to team up with.

Firewatch developer Campo Santo is working with film production company Good Universe on adapting the adventure game into a movie. That is the first project Good Universe and Campo Santo will work on together, according to The Hollywood Reporter. In addition to bringing one of the best games of 2016 to the big screen, this partnership will also see the two companies collaborating on totally new projects in both mediums. For Good Universe, this gives the company a pipeline of original intellectual properties that it can turn into films. Campo Santo, meanwhile, can maximize the value of its creations by expanding them from games into other formats. Firewatch will join Warcraft, Assassin’s Creed, and The Angry Birds Movie as one of the most recent films based on a game.
