Released in 2019 after complicated development, Days Gone has won a good reputation among gamers. We learn that Sony has plans for the franchise that are very different from what the community is hoping for at the moment.
Despite its certain flaws, Days Gone had the merit of offering a living world and impressive hordes. In short, a promising start, although it can be perfected. After an internally refused follow-up, the license is dead? No, but the next project will be dedicated to the big screen.
Sony is preparing a Days Gone movie
And a new cinematic adaptation for a PlayStation game: Days Gone. After the very serious meetingwhose discoveries always come true, Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions will produce a feature film about the adventures of Deacon St. John.
After you, Sam Heughan (stranger) would be coveted for the lead role of Deacon St. John. So leave Sam Witwer, the actor who lends his features to the character…even though he’s an actor by trade. He has acted in the series Angel, NCIS: Special Investigations, Cold Case: Cases Closed or Battlestar Galactic and films like The Mist and Solo: A Star Wars Story.
A dubious choice, according to the title’s game director, who is now working on the future Tomb Raider. « The fact that they don’t audition Sam Witwer is absolutely ridiculous. He’s got the physique, the good looks and damn it, he knows how to play » he wrote on his Twitter account.
In the script it would be obvious Sheldon Turner (X-Men: The Beginning, in the air…). The feature film may be good…but it’s not what Days Gone 2 players want.
Jeff Ross, the game’s director, explained that the sequel was turned down by Bend Studio management, who didn’t even bother to discuss it with the experts at Sony Interactive Entertainment. Maybe this film can revive the idea? The teams are currently working on a new single player franchise with a multiplayer component.
