Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic partnership agreement on Control 2 and bringing Control and Alan Wake to film and television

Remedy has always wanted to blend the lines between tv and games, so this honestly doesn’t surprise me.

I have so many thoughts on this that I’m having trouble articulating. On one hand, Remedy has built such a rich and lore-filled world beloved by fans, and they’ve already tried their hand at live action with Quantum Break (meh). This could and maybe even should be successful. On the other, those worlds are already pretty solidly built by the actors that portray them like Courtney Hope, Matthew Porretta, Ikka Villi, and James McCaffery. I can’t imagine anyone successfully stepping into those roles.

But then, we have the major flops like the Witcher adaptation and Halo (I think? Never a fan but I’ve heard good and bad things). I know those had even more lore and perhaps even bigger worlds, bigger budgets…and they still managed to disappoint the entire fanbase.

Can you imagine them doing justice to the Ashtray Maze on TV without a bunch of blurry CGI? Or the insidious self doubt and psychological terror in Alan Wake without a bunch of jump scares?

I love AnnaPurna and Remedy so I’m truly hoping for the best.

Scarjo is the only actress who makes sense for a control movie.

Why?

Not the actress that provides the voice and likeness for the character?

Can’t wait to see the AWE in a different medium. The lore they’ve created is one of my favorites.

I loved Control, but I’m feeling kinda meh about a TV show. If it does happen I’ll keep an open mind and check it out.

Absolutely looking forward to Control 2 however.
