I have a feeling that someone, somewhere is trying to get every ounce of value they can out of a prop rental for a set of four comically oversized manacles. That's the only explanation I've landed on for why Chained Together, an ultra-hard co-op platformer about four characters being, well, chained together, is getting a film adaptation. Yet, here we are.
The film, as reported by Deadline, is being developed by Anton, the production group behind the 2020 film Greenland, and writers Cory Todd Hughes and Adrian Speckert. Hughes and Speckert don't have any screenplays about being chained together a la Chained Together on their resumes yet, but they have worked on another videogame adaptation: the upcoming Finding Frankie film, the source material for which looks to be one of those not-quite-Five Nights at Freddy's-type games littered about Steam.
A joint statement from Speckert and Hughes reads: "We believe there’s an endless amount of fun to be had with the premise. The game’s collaborative nature, the dependency between players chained together, creates a unique foundation for cinematic storytelling."
