The recent trend of live adaptations of video games shows no sign of stopping. Netflix, Prime Video, and HBO, every possible studio, are acquiring franchises and, with their own sparkle, creating successful projects. This time, it’s the turn of “Home Sweet Home Rebirth.”
The news was confirmed on October 6th this year. Alexander Kiesl and Steffen Hacker are directing the live adaptation, and Dean Altit will be producing the project.
The cast was announced today, injecting excitement among fans. “365 Days” star Michele Morrone will lead the march, joined by names such as William Moseley, who played Prince Liam in “The Royals,” Urassaya Sperbund, and K-Pop/K-Drama star Alexander Lee.
“Home Sweet Home Rebirth” follows cop Jake thrust into an alternate realm, “The Hindrance,” during a mall shooting. With a mysterious Novice Monk’s help, he races to save his wife and stop the evil occultist Mek from opening the Gates of Hell.
After the success of “Five Nights At Freddy’s,” it gives hope to small-budget productions and slightly less popular games. “Home Sweet Home Rebirth,” though having a good fanbase with the game selling more than a million copies, will work as a paradox effect. Both the live adaptation and the game itself will experience a hike in consumption.
