Russo Brothers Adapting Little Nightmares for Small Screen
The Russo Brothers – the siblings behind Avengers: Civil War and the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War – are teaming up with The Nightmare Before Christmas director Henry Selick to bring video game Little Nightmares to the small screen.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Russo brothers will develop and executive produce the television series with Dmitri M. Johnson and Stephan Bugaj of DJ2 Entertainment, the company making a name for itself adapting video games such as Life Is Strange and Sonic the Hedgehog.
The Little Nightmares game follows Six, a 9 year-old girl who finds herself trapped on the bottom of a terror-filled ship named the Maw. The game sees Six trying to stave off hunger as she’s pursued by characters named the Janitor, the Twin Chefs and the Lady. The brothers — who via their yet-to-be-named company are developing projects for various media — recently partnered with Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan, the team behind indie breakout Swiss Army Man, on an original sci-fi movie venture.
The Russos are in postproduction on the mega Marvel production Avengers: Infinity War, which is slated for a May 4, 2018, release.
