“Beyond Good & Evil” film adaptation announced

A featured film adaptation of the 2003 Ubisoft game Beyond Good & Evil is in the works.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Detective Pikachu film director Rob Letterman will be in charge of the hybrid live-action/animated movie for Netflix.

Jason Altman and Margaret Boykin, from Ubisoft Film & Television, will join film director Letterman as producers.

The upcoming movie takes place in the 25 century. Jade, an investigative reporter, joins an underground resistance movement “to reveal a planet-wide alien conspiracy,” according to Wikipedia.

Even though the game Beyond Good and Evil got mixed results after launch, it became a cult following years later.

The film is currently in its early development.
