This simply in: Amazon MGM is creating a TV sequence primarily based on the legendary Wolfenstein video video games. What’s even higher is that will probably be produced by Kilter Movies, the studio that’s headed by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Pleasure, who’re at the moment working with Amazon on the Fallout present.
Not a lot is thought concerning the undertaking at this level besides that Patrick Sommerville (The Leftovers) is the sequence’ author, creator, and showrunner. Nolan, Pleasure, and Athena Wickham are hooked up as govt producers alongside Sommerville. A single logline is offered for the present, too, protecting issues easy: “The story of killing Nazis is evergreen.”
The Wolfenstein sequence is a landmark sequence that helped pioneer and popularize the first-person shooter style of video video games. In it, you play (for essentially the most half) as William “B.J.” Blazkowicz, an American Captain of Jewish Polish descent and his bloody battle towards the Axis. And make no mistake, bloody it’s, however contemplating who the unhealthy guys are…
The sequence is essentially an alternate historical past, specializing in the Nazi’s pursuit of extra occult powers in the course of the battle, leading to some inventive and surprising conditions to get your self in, and a “what-if” situation that noticed them successful the Second World Battle and taking on america.
Right here’s hoping that Amazon greenlights the undertaking totally (growth isn’t a assure), because it may very well be one other hit for them, Kilter, and sport diversifications on the whole. And if it does, for the love of all that’s holy, rent Alan Ritchson as Blazkowicz. He’s already working with Amazon on Reacherand can be good casting.
