The Countdown Has Begun for The Medium Film Adaptation
The Medium, a notable horror franchise, is a new addition to the gaming world, transitioning to film. Gary Dauberman, the man behind cult horror films like It and Annabelle, acquired the film rights for the game. Dauberman will produce the adaptation and will bring the project to life through his company, Coin Operated. While the search for a screenwriter and director is still ongoing, both Bloober Team and Dauberman are enthusiastic about this collaboration.
The Medium Adaptation Could Be the New Face of Horror
The film adaptation of The Medium is considered one of the most suitable horror games for the big screen, both for its story and visual world. The partnership between the game’s creator studio, Bloober Team, and Gary Dauberman could breathe new life into horror cinema. When he first announced the project, Dauberman emphasized The Medium’s cinematic atmosphere, stating that this structure offered a natural transition to the big screen.
Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno is also very pleased with this collaboration. Babieno stated that he and Dauberman shared the same vision from the very first meeting and that this synergy will strengthen the project. The film will be the company’s second game-based project following the adaptation of Coin Operated’s Until Dawn, demonstrating its continued growing interest in the gaming world.
Released in 2021, The Medium presents a psychological horror story set in Poland. The player controls a character who can navigate two dimensions simultaneously, offering a unique experience in both gameplay and narrative. How this transition between parallel worlds will be portrayed in the cinema remains to be seen.
Bloober Team continues to make a name for itself with its Silent Hill 2 remake and is also preparing a new survival horror game, Cronos: The New Dawn, for 2025. This indicates that the studio will continue to expand its influence in the horror genre, both in gaming and cinema.
