Movie rights to Midway`s action-horror title picked up by MTV Films; latest deal between Midway and Viacom...
In a joint statement itās been announced that MTV Films, a subsidiary of Viacom has bought the option to produce a movie based on Midway Gamesā The Suffering. The game follows the story of an inmate called Torque, imprisoned for a murder that he may or may not have committed with the sequel āTies that Bindā released at the end of the month.
Several personnel have been named as working on the movie adaptation at the moment including movie monster maker Stan Winston, Jason Lust and Rick Jacobs from Circle of Confusion, as well as MTV Films' Senior Director Jason Weiss, (who brought the project to the company), Gregg Goldin and David Gale from MTV Films.
"We are very excited to be working hand in hand with Midway to translate this innovative game into an edge-of-your-seat film," said David Gale, Executive Vice President, MTV Films. "Gaming is such a huge part of the culture for MTV's audience it makes perfect sense for us to work with Midway, Stan Winston and Circle of Confusion on bringing The Suffering to life as a feature film."
"The Suffering is a true action-horror experience with plenty of disturbing and twisted creatures," said Alan Patmore, president, Surreal Software. "We are extremely happy to be working with MTV Films to bring the terror to the big screen in what promises to be a groundbreaking horror film."
This is the latest deal between Midway and MTV with the two companies signing a deal for the joint marketing of three Midway titles in the future, the first one being L.A. RUSH.
