Elliot Page Adapting Beyond: Two Souls for TV

Beyond: Two Souls Gets a TV Twist

In a move that’s sure to captivate both fans and newcomers, Elliot Page teams up with Quantic Dream to bring "Beyond: Two Souls" to the small screen. The original 2013 PS3 game, known for its cinematic storytelling, is getting a fresh lease on life.

Released during the final days of the PS3, this game gave players an immersive journey. It featured Jodie, portrayed by Page, whose bond with a spectral entity offered her extraordinary abilities. The announcement, made on January 29, marks the beginning of a unique adaptation journey.

A Bold New Chapter

Page expressed enthusiasm about revisiting the game in a new medium. Having described the filming as a "challenging and fulfilling acting experience," it’s clear this project holds a special place in Page’s heart. The game’s narrative depth and emotional resonance offer a solid foundation for this adaptation.

David Cage, Quantic Dream’s writer and director, echoed this excitement. "I was blown away by his acting in the game," Cage said. This collaboration promises to bring passion and authenticity to the TV show, merging Page’s talent with Cage’s vision once more.

Bumps in the Road

Page’s return is interesting, considering past controversies. Shortly after the game’s release, a nude character model of Jodie was discovered via mods. Page had not approved this and considered legal action against Quantic Dream and Sony. Despite this, the situation seemingly resolved, clearing the way for this new partnership.

However, it’s worth noting some turbulence in Quantic Dream’s past. David Cage has faced accusations regarding a harsh workplace culture, including allegations of toxicity and sexism. Yet, these shadows haven’t dimmed the enthusiasm surrounding this new series.

Fans eagerly await further updates. As development unfolds, the anticipation grows for how this acclaimed game will translate onto television screens. In collaboration with Quantic Dream, Page embarks on a creative journey that promises to be as intriguing as the game itself.
