“I think what people have seen in Hollywood is that video game adaptations, if done right, can actually be very popular, and they scale really well. That’s been a big sea change that I’ve seen in the last five, six years, since we’ve really started to come and deliver some great content,” said Qizilbash.

This desire to do it right, according to him, was what led to the Horizon adaptation being turned from a movie to a TV show. Qizilbash said that “it just wasn’t creatively going how we wanted to.”

It is worth noting that changes like this aren’t likely to have adverse effects on the quality of the adaptation since the production work is likely still in its early stages. Neither Sony nor Columbia, for instance, have confirmed what kind of cast or crew is currently attached to the project.

The adaptation will likely be produced in a similar way as what we got to see with HBO’s The Last of Us, which was largely faithful to the source material in the games, while also making a few minor changes here and there in order to tell the story in a way better suited for episodic viewing.

The Last of Us is getting ready to premiere it second season on April 13. Leading up to this, the show also got a new trailer. In more The Last of Us news, the PC version of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered came out last week. Check out our review for more details.
