Actor Elliot Page and studio Quantic Dream are collaborating on a TV show based on the 2013 action-adventure game Beyond: Two Souls, according to a recent report by Deadline.
“Filming the game was one of the most challenging and fulfilling acting experiences of my career,” said Page. “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.”
“We are absolutely thrilled to collaborate again with Elliot Page on this project,” said Quantic Dream writer and director David Cage. “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.”
It is refreshing to see Page return to Beyond: Two Souls more than a decade after release. However, shortly after the game’s launch, people discovered a fully nude model of Page’s character inside Beyond: Two Souls. In 2015, leaked emails show that Page and his lawyers were looking into suing Quantic Dream and Sony over the nude model. Page hadn’t provided any scans of his body at the time and didn’t approve of the nudity, which could only be seen via a modded camera. It seems that situation was resolved and now Page is happy to return to help develop a TV show based on the game.
