Metro Awakening's author talks about the film's potential

Metro Awakening It's going to be the fourth item in Metro The game series, based on Dmitry Glukhovsky's novels, this time uses VR format for unprecedented immersion in the Moscow subway. Born from the idea of ​​a passionate writer. Metro The series is known for its emotional and thought-provoking storytelling that works well in other media formats as well.




In an interview with Game Rant Metro Author Dmitry Glukhovsky talks about his work in the series and Metro Awakening specifically and the possibility of potential Metro film or television adaptation, Glukhovsky also spoke about his experience writing such games. Metro Awakening It's different from writing a novel. But it feels more like writing a script.

There may still be hope for the Metro 2033 movie.

When asked if they were considering accepting Metro Franchise to the big screen Glukhovsky noted that he tried to secure film rights deals. Metro Going all the way back to 2006, however. Metro It has since seen many successful games and novels released. This leaves a film adaptation unfulfilled until now. Still, Glukhovsky hints at some hopeful news on this front. But he could not reveal specifics.


It has been a very long journey for me. The first time I came to Hollywood was probably 17 years ago. I was 27 years old and went there to negotiate a film rights deal. 17 years later, we're still here. All three video games were released. And then three books and stuff. There's a lot going on in this universe. And there are no audio-visual projects based on that story yet. I have hope There are some recent developments that I'm not legally allowed to spoil. But in the world of film and TV You never know, things can happen at any given moment. This completely destroys your expectations and hopes. I'm quite superstitious. So I don't reveal what I'm working on on different projects. As a screenwriter


Viewers may be curious about later video game film adaptations. border Very poor reception of the movie So maybe extending it a little longer is for the best. MetroGlukhovsky's case says he is committed to overseeing everything related to the matter. MetroAt least fans can rest assured that it has potential. Metro The film will be in good hands.

Writing a game like Metro Awakening is similar to writing a screenplay.

Glukhovsky said that as a writer Writing video games has more in common with movies than with novels. Games and movies need soundtracks, actors, screenplays, and of course, a compelling and coherent storyline. When writing a novel, Glukhovsky said writers can experiment with storytelling more than in a video game or movie. Especially in the matter of structure.


I think writing games for me is closer to writing movies. Because of the general story When you create the arc and the overall story. It must be clear and concise. in writing a book You can really improvise. And you may not even know what will happen to your main character. You just more or less understand what the character's end point is. then what you want That will convey meaning, right?

As you write your screenplay, you need to structure it. You understand that this is the emotional arc you want your character to go through. I would say it's more engineered. Video game writing will always be closer to that. It has to go through some emotions, right?

Although it was not intended to be at first, Glukhovsky saw its potential. Metro To be a transmedia machine that can provide a worthwhile experience in many formats. Hopefully he will have the opportunity to see this potential come true. And franchise fans can enjoy it. Metro Movies, cartoons, or series
