Blumhouse Productions is currently developing a live-action film adaptation of DreadXP’s indie puzzle-horror video game series “Amanda the Adventurer”.
MANGLEDmaw Games developed the title which follows Riley Park, a young girl who starts exploring her reclusive Aunt Kate’s house after she passes away and leaves the house to Riley.
In the attic, Riley is surprised to find a stack of VHS tapes next to an old TV set. The tapes seem to be episodes of an early 2000’s era children’s cartoon they have never seen before.
The show appears to have been made locally and features a little girl named Amanda and her loyal yet shy best friend, Wooly the Sheep. While the episode appears charming and simple on the surface, an uneasiness starts to settle in as Riley realises that Amanda and Wooly seem to be communicating directly through the television set.
A gnawing feeling in the back of their mind presses them to stop, but Riley is compelled to continue watching the tapes. It’s almost as if Amanda needs something, and Riley becomes fascinated with finding out what that something may be.
Announced at the Blumfest panel at New York Comic Con on Friday, former “The Runner” series host Matthew ‘MatPat’ Patrick will spearhead the film’s development and this is the first effort in a multi-film deal he has made. Patrick Ewald will also produce the film.
