Sonic the Hedgehog film producer snaps up Disco Elysium screen rights

<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/sonic-the-hedgehog-film-producer-snaps-up-disco-elysium-screen-rights.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>In a move some might call “very disco, man,” production company dj2, which co-produced the film Sonic the Hedgehog, <a href="https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/disco-elysium-tv-series-1234690455/">has announced</a> it’s secured the rights for a television series based on ZA/UM’s&nbsp;<em>Disco Elysium.&nbsp;</em></p>
<p>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’s 2013 novel “Sacred and Terrible Air.”&nbsp;</p>
<p>It’s been widely praised for its use of text and irreverent humor to stand out in the narrative storytelling space.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For its part, dj2 has been creeping around the world of video game adaptations for a few years. It’s secured the rights to adapt games ranging from<em> Skulls of the Shogun</em> to Dontnod’s<em> <a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/278039/Legendary_aims_to_develop_Life_Is_Strange_as_a_liveaction_series.php">Life is Strange</a> </em>and <em><a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/324799/Dontnods_Vampyr_picked_up_for_TV_adaptation_by_Fox21.php">Vampyr</a>.&nbsp;</em></p>
<p>Today’s announcement does not come with any attached writers or distribution studios, meaning the project still has a long way to go before it hits the small screen.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If adapted, the show would feature 100% more “sorry cops” than real police do, as they have <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/live-updates-protests-for-racial-justice/2020/06/26/883347116/nypd-officer-is-charged-with-strangulation-in-alleged-chokehold">lately committed</a> to <a href="https://apnews.com/bb0b2c8e4e10b35421fd70f5fc5fb9c6">showing how not sorry</a> they generally are.&nbsp;</p>
