Firewatch, developer Campo Santo’s acclaimed 2014 first-person narrative mystery, is getting a second chance at getting the movie adaptation treatment.
Word of a Firewatch film adaptation first broke in 2016, when it was reported that Campo Santo had signed a deal with production company Good Universe. However, the movie rights zipped back to the developer when Good Universe became a subsidiary of Lionsgate in 2017.
The celluloid dream never died, though, and The Hollywood reporter now writes that indie production company Snoot Entertainment – responsible for the likes of Blindspotting and Little Monsters – has taken on the mantle, with Keith Calder and Jess Wu Calder set to produce.
