As a seasoned movie critic with a penchant for the unusual and the avant-garde, I must admit that James Wan‘s latest venture into the realm of TV production piques my interest. The acquisition of the rights to adapt “Pacific Drive,” an indie game that blends retropunk aesthetics with survival mechanics, is a daring move that resonates with my own predilection for the unconventional.
As a huge fan, I’m thrilled to share that James Wan’s production company, Atomic Monster, has secured the privilege to bring the award-nominated indie game “Pacific Drive” to life on television!
Crafted by Cassandra Dracott from Ironwood Studios, “Pacific Drive” is a retro-futuristic driving and survival game, accompanied by an experimental electronic music score. This captivating title puts players in a position where they must navigate through a surreal, deserted exclusion zone using their vehicle as the only ally, all while braving the ominous and freezing environment.
Originally launched in February, “Pacific Drive” garnered a nomination for Best Debut Indie Game at the 2024 Game Awards on Dec. 12 and bagged the award for Best Gameplay at the 2024 BIG Festival, where it was also recognized as a finalist for Best Game. In June, this game found itself listed among recommended reads for the Nebula Awards by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association.
As a movie enthusiast, I’m excited to share that I’ll be part of the team bringing a TV series adaptation of this intriguing project to life. Michael Clear and Rob Hackett from Wan and Atomic Monster will be my colleagues in executive production, while Jeff Ludwig of The Menagerie Productions joins us too. As of now, we don’t have a network or streaming platform committed to airing the series just yet.
Under the leadership of Hackett, Atomic Monster’s television wing has launched the horror-thriller series “Teacup” on Peacock. In the pipeline are two more projects: the espionage thriller titled “Copenhagen,” featuring and co-produced by Simu Liu for Peacock, and “Obsession,” an adaptation of Catherine Ryan Howard’s top-selling novel “56 Days,” which will air on Amazon Prime Video.
Moreover, Wan’s Atomic Monster studio is at present working on several TV productions. These include a horror revival of the classic series “The Munsters,” titled “1313,” a TV version of “Robocop” destined for Amazon, and a live-action remake of “Gargoyles” intended for Disney+.
