Beyond: Two Souls TV Series Adaptation In The Works With Elliot Page Leading The Project
A report from Deadline reveals that Elliot Page’s production company Pageboy Productions has acquired the TV rights to develop a series based on Quantic Dream’s narrative title Beyond: Two Souls.
Page starred in the original game which first released all the way back in 2013, and is now coming back to the game after more than a decade to adapt it into a TV series.
The report says the project is in early stages of development, and that the series plot will “explore the game’s non-linear narrative, following Jodie’s journey from government experiment to fugitive as she navigates her abilities and her connection to Aiden.”
According to head of development and production at Pageboy Productions, Matt Jordan Smith, “This adaptation will honor the game’s legacy while inviting fresh perspectives. Delving into questions of survival and how split-second decisions can alter not just our lives, but the lives of others, are key to telling the story.”
For his own part, Elliot Page said “Filming the game was one of the most challenging and fulfilling acting experiences of my career. The story’s rich narrative and emotional depth offer us a fantastic foundation. We want to create a unique vision of the characters and their journeys that resonates with fans and newcomers.”
Beyond: Two Souls director and writer David Cage added “We are absolutely thrilled to collaborate again with Elliot Page on this project. I was blown away by his acting performance in the game, and I couldn’t think of anyone else to tell this story with the same passion on another medium.”
“Beyond: Two Souls is a very special game for millions of players around the world who were moved by the story of Jodie and Aiden, and their journey in life and beyond. I know that Elliot has all the talent and instinct to make it something really unique on TV.”
