The Russo Brothers Adapting the Horror Video Game Little Nightmares For TV
The horror video game Little Nightmares has drawn the attention of hit directors the Russo Brothers (Captain America: Civil War, Captain America: Winter Soldier), who are planning on adapting the story into a TV series. The duo will be executive producers alongside Dmitri M. Johnson and Stephan Bugaj of DJ2 Entertainment, the team behind the recently announced We Happy Few. The plan is to have The Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline director Henry Selick to helm the pilot and perhaps several more episodes, per THR.
The site describes the story: “The game follows a 9-year old girl named Six who finds herself trapped on the bottom of a terror-filled ship named the Maw. With hunger and the depths one goes to satiate that hunger as the themes, the storyline follows Six as she tries to escape the ship while evading capture and death at the hands of characters named the Janitor, the Twin Chefs and the Lady.”
There’s no word on when this will enter production but since they’re already locking down potential directors, I’m guessing it’s a priority project.
