Marvel Director's Joe and Anthony Russo Adapting LITTLE NIGHTMARES as a TV Series
Joe and Anthony Russo are probably one of the top filmmaking duos right now. Having directed such hits as Captain America: Civil War, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and You, Me, and Dupree. But now they are looking to adapt a video game called Little Nightmares with DJ2 Entertainment into a TV series.
They will be executive producers on the project and they've already hired Henry Selick, director of A Nightmare Before Christmas, to direct the pilot and possibly more episodes. This makes me believe in some part that the series could turn out to be stop motion, but that hasn't been confirmed.
The Little Nightmares game follows a 9-year-old girl named Six who finds herself trapped on the bottom of a terror-filled ship named the Maw. With hunger and the depths one goes to satiate that hunger as the themes, the storyline follows Six as she tries to escape from the ship while evading capture and death at the hands of characters named the Janitor, the Twin Chefs and the Lady.
I love boat themed stories, so I'm all in. I will have to play more of the game though before it comes out. Or maybe I shouldn't, I don't think I want to spoil the TV series for myself... Decisions decisions.
