In a move some might call “very disco, man,” production company dj2, which co-produced the film Sonic the Hedgehog, has announced<\/a> it’s secured the rights for a television series based on ZA\/UM’s Disco Elysium. <\/em><\/p>\n

The 2019 game, which racked up prize after prize during last year’s award season, tells the story of a drunken detective stumbling through a murder mystery that threatens to set a small town ablaze in a fictional universe inspired by Robert Kurvitz\u2019s 2013 novel \u201cSacred and Terrible Air.\u201d <\/p>\n

It’s been widely praised for its use of text and irreverent humor to stand out in the narrative storytelling space. <\/p>\n

If adapted, the show would feature 100% more “sorry cops” than real police do, as they have lately committed<\/a> to showing how not sorry<\/a> they generally are. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
