The independent game El Paso, Nowhere is potentially getting a movie adaptation. Deadline reports that Oscar-nominated actor LaKeith Stanfield (Judas and the Black Messiah, Get Out) is in talks to appear in a movie based on the game. Di Bonaventura Pictures, which produces the Transformers and G.I. Joe franchises, is attached to produce.

The movie, should it get made, would center on main character James Savage (Stanfield) who is confronting his personal demons after getting out of a toxic relationship with a woman, the vampire Janet, who is now trying to execute a "world-ending ritual."

"James navigates her reality-bending universe of ethereal monsters while facing the truth of his own addictions and skewed sense of self-worth, learning that the only route to love is through healing," reads a line from the film's description.

El Paso, Nowhere was developed by the studio Strange Scaffold, a development label run by Xalavier Nelson Jr.

GameSpot's El Paso, Nowhere review scored the game an 8/10. Reviewer Alessandro Barbosa said, "Its straightforward action is enhanced by its consistently evolving enemies and delicate balancing of power, while its captivating love story presents a novel take on established mythologies with some impressive performances to back them up."

The announcement of the El Paso, Nowhere movie comes not long after the reveal of a film based on the game Spine, which isn't even out yet. The next big video game movie is the Borderlands film, which arrives in August. A Minecraft movie is coming in 2025.
