Lisanne Pajot and James Swirsky’s Indie Game: The Movie premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend, and already it’s gaining mainstream attention. High-profile producer Scott Rudin (The Social Network, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) and HBO have acquired the remake rights to Indie Game: The Movie, with plans to develop it as a half-hour fictional comedy series, with Rudin as executive producer, Deadline New York reports.
We picture Super Meat Boy‘s Edmund McMillen and FEZ‘s Phil Fish as a hilariously unfit buddy-cop duo patrolling the mean streets of Hoboken, New Jersey with an 8-bit-animated talking-dog sidekick. We picture that, but we really hope it’s not the case — the trailers for Indie Game: The Movie suggest a classier vibe, although if Trent Reznor signs on to compose the HBO series’ soundtrack, we may expect to see a very different side indie development, indeed.
Indie Game: The Movie: The HBO comedy series, produced by Scott Rudin originally appeared on Joystiq on Sun, 22 Jan 2012 16:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
