Martha Is Dead, the Italian video game becomes a film
The game received positive reception, largely thanks to a winning story: the kind of thriller that could become a movie. The story takes place in 1944, during the Second World War, in a small Tuscan town, and follows the life of Giuliaa girl with a dark secret.
Luca Dalcòfounder and director of LKA, as well as the game’s writer and designer, shared his excitement about the adaptation, as Multiplayer reports. “The complexity of the narrative was meticulously planned, visualized and even modeled with cinematic quality in mind. So bringing all this to life as a film is a dream come true.”
The role of the publisher and director will be handled by Wired Productionswhose CEO, Leo Zullo, which forms Dalcò’s words. “We are thrilled to join forces with Studios Extraordinaires to create a reference cinematic experiencefusing the art of gaming and cinema in an unprecedented way.”
It remains to be seen how this adaptation will come out, and how fans will respond. Last year we saw that both complex stories like The Last of Us and iconic characters like Mario can become successful films and series. Perhaps, Martha Is Dead could also enter the circle of successful film adaptations.
