According to Bloody Disgusting, Lionsgate is preparing a film adaptation of the Outlast horror series. The movie is being developed in collaboration with Red Barrels, the studio behind the game franchise.
The film will be produced by Roy Lee, known for his work on horror hits like The Ring, It, and The Grudge. The screenplay is being written by J.T. Petty.
When Outlast launched in 2012, it changed the landscape of horror gaming, setting a new standard for immersion in the genre. Its deep, emergent lore has provided a perfect foundation for creating a film that delves into the psychological and physical horrors at the core of the franchise. I'm excited to bring this unique world to life for both new viewers and the series' dedicated fans.
As die-hard fans of horror across every medium, at Red Barrels we are great admirers of Roy Lee's and Lionsgate's work. Horror movies old and new have had an undeniable impact on our franchise over the years, and to now have the opportunity to work on an Outlast film with true horror legends is a dream, or should I say, nightmare, come true.
It's worth noting that this year saw the release of The Outlast Trials, which has received very positive reviews on Steam.
