“Jess and Keith are hard-working and visionary film producers with impeccable taste in video games,” added Vanaman.“Not unlike when we met Joe Drake and the team at Good Universe in 2016, we knew in our first conversation with Jess and Keith that they’d make great partners. We have no doubt in their expertise, their taste and their passion and assume that our experience as so-so game developers will make us first-rate producing partners.

its so coincidental bc i had just fallen in love with this game again a few days ago and i couldnt stop thinking about it. i was like 'yk what lemme just see on the internet what firewatch news there are' and i saw they are making a movie and i cried tears of joy the entire night

I feel like I heard about this years ago and then nothing. So glad the project is moving forward again.

Wario64 Why

Why tho

Wario64 LimitedRunGames Perfect time to make a Switch physical version of this. :)

shelbee_bee woah!!

The game was so great. Hard to imagine it would work as a movie.

Wario64 HELL YEAH

Wario64 It basically already is a movie. I feel like not seeing the protagonists is a major aspect of the game's energy though, how are they going to maintain that.

Wario64 will it have valve time around it lol

Wario64 Always thought Firewatch would make a great movie.

Wario64 A 45 minute movie where no real story gets told but is really pretty.

Im crying right now. Firewatch is one of the greatest indie games I ever played. Deserves a movie.

Wario64 Will Pewdiepie Star in it? 🙂
