While it's certainly not the most obvious game series to be adapted to film being as the main characters are largely building and weird puzzles, the classic PC franchise Myst is heading for the big screen. Variety is reporting that Roserock Films and Gran Via Productions, in partnership with Mysteria Film Group, have obtained the series' film rights from the game developer Cyan Worlds. Apparently the storyline of the film will be adapted from a trilogy of Myst novels that Cyan Worlds published around the time of Myst sequel Riven. The novels dealt with a civilization called the D'ni and a woman who had accidentally entered their society.
"Our
aim with this project is to stretch the genres it operates within, much
like the source material did," said producer Adrian Vanderbosch. "It is such an
innovative property and the best service we can do to it is to maintain
that spirit. By utilizing the novels as our primary source, we have the
opportunity to offer audiences the essence of Myst without being
limited only to the famous island of the first game."
