這部讓玩家們在虛拟的二戰、越南戰争以及美俄對戰的環境中彼此對抗的第一人稱射擊遊戲,将由派拉蒙和Anonymous Contentg公司攜手制作。目前尚未有電視台接手此項目。
“EA公司的《戰地》有着極強的叙事能力,再加上其忠實粉絲基礎龐大,我們才能将這部獨一無二的佳作搬上電視螢幕,”派拉蒙電視主席Amy Powell這樣說道。
這次應該算是《戰地》第二次被嘗試搬上電視螢幕了,第一次是FOX在2012年嘗試将《戰地:叛逆連隊2》改編為電視劇集,但最後卻未能成功。
現如今越來越多的電子遊戲被搬上電影熒幕,說不定這股強大的勢頭将走向電視界。舉個例子吧,Syfy的跨平台劇集《抗争》雖止步于第三季,但其在電子遊戲和電視界都有所建樹
Battlefield, the popular war simulation video game, is being adapted into a television series,Deadline reports.
The first-person shooter, which pits players against each other in environments including World War II, Vietnam as well as fictional conflicts between the U.S. and Russia, will be adapted by Paramount Television and Anonymous Content. No work is currently attached to the project.
"EA's Battlefield has an incredibly dynamic narrative, coupled with a loyal fan base, which will allow us to bring this exciting and unique property to the small screen," said Paramount TV president Amy Powell.
This marks the second time the Battlefield series has been optioned for television adaptation, the first being when Fox attempted to adapt Battlefield: Bad Company in 2012. The latter was never picked up to series.
While many video game adaptations bee feature films, momentum may be gaining to bring more video games to the small screen. Though it was canceled after three seasons, Syfy's cross-platform series Defiance, for example, took place in both a video game and television format.
