Hypnotic buys the rights to an Eternal Darkness TV show or movie
 

Eternal Darkness movie/TV show



It seems some production company called Hynotic has the bought the rights to make a movie or television show based off of Eternal Darkness.

I personally hope if Hypnotic actually does anything with the license, they make it a television show. Either a live action show maybe airing on the Sci-Fi channel or an animated show airing on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim would be fine for me. I just don't see how the story of ED could possibly be told in a movie.

I wish a company would do this with Silent Hill...

I think it should be a TV Show, too, and probably will be. The episodic story form of the game fits well for TV format. I'm excited to see, if the series is even mildly popular, how it will affect sales of the what I thought was a fantastic game (but apparently sold less than 300,000!).

Less than 300,000? Was it really that low? Thats sad...it should've sold triple that. It was sure as hell good enough to. A tv show would probably be better.

Wasn't it released at the same time as SMS?

No.... Not here anyway...

I think it would be better as a movie although I hope they do better than most movies based on games.

I hope they do a good job.

Me too... there's been an RE movie, now an ED movie/TV show... I think they're making an Alone in the Dark movie too... Silent Hill is an outcast... so sad considering it's the best one of the four :sneaky:

They could not possibly fit the entire stoey of Eternal Darkness into a movie. Or even one as complex or interesting. It would become a mindless horror film with tons of zombies and shooting. ED doesn't deserve that.

It deifnetely needs to be a show, not a movie. Or at least a mini-series of TV movies; each once dealing with a different time period (although the first episode should probably have both Alex coming to Rhose Island and the Pious Augustus thing since both are fairly short).

The whole "finding each missing chapter in the mansion" thing should be thrown at. There's no point to it in a movie. It would just waste time mostly.
