This simply in: Amazon MGM is growing a TV sequence based mostly on the legendary Wolfenstein video video games. What’s even higher is that it will likely be produced by Kilter Movies, the studio that’s headed by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Pleasure, who’re at present working with Amazon on the Fallout present.
Not a lot is understood concerning the venture at this level besides that Patrick Sommerville (The Leftovers) is the sequence’ author, creator, and showrunner. Nolan, Pleasure, and Athena Wickham are hooked up as govt producers alongside Sommerville. A single logline is out there for the present, too, conserving issues easy: “The story of killing Nazis is evergreen.”
The Wolfenstein sequence is a landmark sequence that helped pioneer and popularize the first-person shooter style of video video games. In it, you play (for essentially the most half) as William “B.J.” Blazkowicz, an American Captain of Jewish Polish descent and his bloody warfare towards the Axis. And make no mistake, bloody it’s, however contemplating who the unhealthy guys are…
The sequence is basically an alternate historical past, specializing in the Nazi’s pursuit of extra occult powers through the warfare, leading to some inventive and sudden conditions to get your self in, and a “what-if” state of affairs that noticed them profitable the Second World Battle and taking on the USA.
Right here’s hoping that Amazon greenlights the venture absolutely (improvement isn’t a assure), because it might be one other hit for them, Kilter, and recreation variations basically. And if it does, for the love of all that’s holy, rent Alan Ritchson as Blazkowicz. He’s already working with Amazon on Reacher, and could be good casting.
