Clair Obscur, a stylish RPG inspired by the Belle Époque set to release in April, is getting a live-action movie adaptation. The game involves a yearly expedition to kill a being called the Paintress who causes people to vanish when she paints their age on a monolith. Story Kitchen, the production company behind the Tomb Raider show and adaptations of Just Cause and Ruiner, will be adapting the game.
has more than piqued our interest over here at ol' PC Gamer, but while Sandfall Interactive's extremely stylish RPG shows a lot of promise, I've gotta admit I was surprised to find out that a live-action movie adaptation was already in the works. The game isn't out until April this year.", Clair Obscur is set in a fantasy world inspired by the Belle Époque, a French golden age sandwiched between the Napoleonic Wars and World War 2.
A strong aesthetic and a premise that is strange but with big, easy-to-comprehend stakes lends itself well to a movie adaptation, I suppose. Story Kitchen must think so, at least. Per, the production company—which includes the producer of Sonic the Hedgehog as one of its co-founders—has teamed up with Sandfall to adapt the game.
All of Story Kitchen's other projects are either part of an established series, or—in the case of Ruiner—started long after the game came out. But at the moment nobody knows if Clair Obscur is going to be a big deal. That said, I suspect that the movie execs making these deals don't really care. Sure, Tomb Raider remains a big deal, but a 2017 top-down shooter like Ruiner ain't putting bums on seats.
