IT TAKES TWO Game Getting Movie Adaptation at Amazon With SONIC Writers Adapting and Dwayne Johnson Producing

The game It Takes Two is getting a movie adaptation that is set at Amazon. Sonic the Hedgehog movie writers Pat Casey and Josh Miller are adapting the game for the screen, and will serve as executive producers. Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia, and Hiram Garcia will produce on behalf of Seven Bucks. Variety reports that sources say Johnson could also star in the film, but nothing is official as of now.

“The film adaptation will follow May and Cody who, as they go through a divorce, find their minds transported into two dolls that their daughter, Rose, made to represent them. Now they must go on a wild and fantastical journey to find a way to get back into their bodies.”

Dmitri M. Johnson and Dan Jevons will produce for dj2, while Stephan Bugaj of dj2 executive produces. Josef Fares and Oskar Wolontis of Hazelight Studios, which developed the original game, will also executive produce. Kimberly Bialek will oversee production on behalf of Seven Bucks Productions. dj2 has a first-look deal with Amazon, as do Casey and Miller.

It Takes Two is described as a unique game in that it does not have a single-player mode, but rather must be played as a co-op game with a friend either in person or online. It has received strong reviews from critics since its release in March 2021. It has won dozens of industry awards, including Game of the Year at the 2021 Game Awards.
