With the run of failed video game movie adaptations that has plagued Hollywood for so long, the news that another iconic title will be adapted for TV might seem surprising. This is exactly what “Endemol Shine Studios” is intending to do though, and according to Deadline, the video game in question is the cult classic “Mirror’s Edge.”
The original “Mirror’s Edge” game, which was released in 2007 by “Electronic Arts” sold over 2.5 million copies, according to a company reveal back in 2013. This prompted the development of its sequel/prequel called “Mirror’s Edge Catalyst,” which is due to be released on June 7.
Supposedly, “Endemol Shine Studios,” the network behind “Big Brother” and “The Biggest Loser” wants to take on the title because of its huge potential to appeal to a wide audience.
“We clearly see Mirror’s Edge as a franchise for the global TV audience. It has a strong female protagonist, a wildly rabid fan base and a worldwide brand that Electronic Arts and EA DICE have done an amazing job establishing,” Sharon Hall, President of Endemol Shine Studios said to Deadline.
Engadget confirmed the story with an “EA” spokesperson.
"We are excited to be working with Endemol Shine Studios to explore a potential Mirror's Edge project for television," the spokesperson said.
In the 2007 title, the story centered on the protagonist “Faith” who was trying to clear her sister of the murder charges she is framed with. She tries to do this while battling an all-powerful corporation, which has taken control of the dystopian world where the game is set. The game was praised for its innovative style and smooth gameplay by critics and fans alike, garnering a hoard of adoring followers who are now eagerly awaiting the next one.
“EA” promises an even bigger world for players to run around in with “Mirror’s Edge Catalyst,” with an emphasis on “Faith’s” backstory as well as the story of how the world came to be under the control of a private conglomerate.
