The Suffering Gets the Greelight
For months, The Suffering, Midway’s ultimate horror game, was greenlighted in 2008 to be a movie, but one legal battle after another and production company after production company, The Suffering gets the greenlight and it will be due out for a late 2010 or early 2011 release. The Suffering follows Torque, a man who is sentenced to death row before monsters start to overtake the prison. You’re trying to escape with other inmates and guards. Depending on the actions you take throughout the game you’re either guilty or innocent. A gory game, but great nonetheless and hugely plot driven. A sequel came about, but not nearly as successful as the first. Very little details have been released about the direction of the film, but only two things are etched in stone: Chiwetel Ejofor (Red Belt, 2012) will play Torque and Marcus Adams (The Marksman) will direct. Plot of the game has been tightlipped since the greenlight, but that game, more so than other video games-turned-movies, has potential to be great. The game gives you a movie-style plot (that’s the only basis I give to the claim). Other games don’t do that, but The Suffering does and does it well. We’ll see. I’m hopeful and I’m sure so are millions of fans around the world. An official teaser won’t be released until the summer of 2010, but as soon as I get more details, I’ll post them here.
