And again, another "u wut" story, Myst, the adventure/puzzle game and one of the best selling PC games, is getting it's own TV series. Yeah, it's own TV series.
The announcement came by way of Deadline, which reported that original Myst studio Cyan Worlds has teamed up with Legendary Entertainment on the project. Cyan co-founder Rand Miller will be "creatively involved" with the series, according to the report, but it hasn't yet been decided whether it will be released as a traditional television show or digitally.
"Cyan’s goal in working with Legendary is not just to create a compelling TV drama but to develop a true transmedia product that will include a companion video game that extends the story across both media," Cyan said in a statement. "Seventy percent of tablet owners use their device while watching TV at least several times a week. Cyan sees the potential to push the boundaries of interactive storytelling to a new level."
First Tetris, and now Myst. It looks like people are looking to video games as a base for stories and shows. A good thing? Or will it suffer the plague of other video game movies/TV shows?
