Sony Pictures Adapts 'The Drifter' Video Game for Live-Action Film

Sony Pictures, in partnership with Story Kitchen, has secured the live-action feature film rights to the video game "The Drifter." The adaptation is set to be produced by Story Kitchen's Dmitri M. Johnson and Michael Lawrence Goldberg, with Timothy I. Stevenson and Elena Sandoval serving as executive producers.

"The Drifter" is described as a pulpy adventure video game that centers on a protagonist who witnesses a violent crime. This move by Sony Pictures further signals the growing trend of major Hollywood studios investing in video game intellectual property for film and television adaptations, recognizing the significant fan bases and potential for blockbuster success.
