Remedy is working with Annapurna Pictures on movie and TV show versions of Alan Wake and Control, but how are those projects progressing? According to Remedy boss Sam Lake, it’s still very early days for both.

Speaking to IGN, Lake said the team is “very excited,” but noted that it’s “very, very early days.”

In Hollywood, adaptations of popular brands get announced frequently but not every project makes it to market. Time will tell how the Alan Wake and Control adaptations fare, but Lake said bringing Remedy’s games to film and TV has been something the team has been looking into “for a long time.”

“Now, with Annapurna, we have a perfect partner and it feels like a genuine collaboration. Obviously, they bring in their prestige expertise and we bring in our universe and our games, and together we are exploring ideas. But yes, early days, but I am very excited,” he said.

Alan Wake II was inspired in part by David Lynch and the Twin Peaks series, and this prompted a question about whether or not Remedy would try to work with Lynch on its game adaptations for TV and film.

“Wouldn’t that be cool?” Lake said. “Yeah, no. I mean, as I said, early, early days, and where we are with everything is that we are just exploring the potential in our universe for different projects and ideas. We’ll see where it goes.”

Lake also confirmed that he’s never met Lynch, but is hopeful he can one day sit down with him over a cup of coffee and discuss art.

Remedy also has a deal with Annapurna Pictures for Control 2, and that is unaffected by the mass resignations at Annapurna Interactive.
