news culture American McGee’s Alice: A TV series in the making and a well-known personality at the helm
Ever since The Witcher set records, video game adaptations into movies or series have continued to explode. After the Halo series, which had the right to a trailer a few hours ago, and after the announcement of an adaptation of It Takes Two, it’s Alice’s turn, American McGee, the license to have the right to a series of her own.
Alice and her madness are back
We thought American McGee’s Alice saga was dead and buried, but David Hayter, screenwriter of the 2000 film X-Men, King Scorpion or Watchmen, proved us wrong. If the license isn’t ready to return to a video game, it’s well on its way to becoming a television series. David Hayter, aka the voice of Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid games, just announced this The American McGee franchise will have the right to its own adaptation.
Alice and Alice: Madness Returns by American McGee are groundbreaking reinterpretations of the classic story (by Lewis Carroll). They take you into the heart of a corrupted version of Wonderland, shedding light on areas never seen before on this world. I am very much looking forward to presenting this world of madness and wonder to a global audience. David Hayter on Hollywood Reporters
Not surprisingly, American McGee’s Alice TV series will be based on the book Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, but like the games, it will offer a much darker and more mature reinterpretation than Walt Disney’s.
Few details have been entrusted to us at the moment, but we already know how the series will begin. From the first minutes of this adaptation, Alice is confronted with terrible news: her parents will die in a fire. In order not to face reality, she will follow the White Rabbit and seek refuge in Wonderland. another detail, American McGee is also involved in the project, since he commented on the subject in an official press release.
David Hayter brings the imagination, experience and skills gleaned from his successes in film, television and video games. A unique combination that will make this adventure a success for the franchise and the fans. I am thrilled to be working with him and know Alice fans will greet him with great affection. American McGee
Good news for the video game trilogy?
If the TV series becomes a real hit, the Alice: Return to Madness and Alice: Return to Madness games could be eligible for a third installment. Indeed, this would convince American giant Electronic Arts to embark on the adventure. In any case, for its part, American McGee had already announced last July that it was ready to produce a new episode.
While I (and Alice fans) would have loved to have had the next one @SHE Horror project to become a new “Alice” game…that at least moves us forward in line.
At some point in the future, EA’s executives will yell, “Need my product!” and someone will reply, “Alice?” And we will be ready! https://t.co/uCvDgnCeg2

My goal is to create a production plan, get it approved by EA, and then raise funds to develop a new game. Although, like Alice fans, I would have wished that EA Horror’s next project would be a new Alice game. .that at least gets us further. Eventually EA bosses will yell “We need more products!” and someone will say “Alice?” answer. And then we are ready! American McGee
