Stray, one of last year's most popular video games, is heading to the big screen. The people behind the game at Annapurna Interactive have announced that their overarching studio Annapurna Animations will produce a movie based on the game.
Although there's no news yet on the film's cast or expected release date, we do know that the movie will stick to the general plot of the game, which follows a cat attempting to escape the walls of a seemingly post-apocalyptic city run by deadly machines with the help of a friendly drone named B-12.
Ice Age, Robots and Epic director Chris Wedge will helm the adaptation, which is currently in active development.
Stray follows Annapurna's first movie Nimona, which debuted on Netflix this summer and was the first of several of the studio's games that they intend to adapt.
Annapurna Animations leader Robert Baird said that he intends for the movie to blaze a trail in the hopepunk genre that deals with themes of optimism and collaboration as forms of resistance.
"I think, if we are going to do this adaptation justice, this is going to be the first and greatest hopepunk movie that's ever been made," he proclaimed.
