Atlanta’s LaKeith Stanfield is reportedly in talks to star in a movie adaptation of the critically acclaimed indie game ‘El Paso, Elsewhere.’ The film will follow the plot of the game closely, with Stanfield portraying James Savage, a character confronting his inner demons and recovering from a toxic relationship. The game, developed by Strange Scaffold and released in September 2023, was praised for its unique blend of supernatural neo-noir and third-person shooting mechanics. Studio head Xalavier Nelson Jr. described the game as a ‘spiritual successor’ to ‘Max Payne’ and praised its exploration of vulnerability. The news of the film adaptation comes after successful adaptations of other video game franchises, such as ‘The Last of Us’ and ‘Fallout.’ The film is expected to further popularize the ‘El Paso, Elsewhere’ universe and resonate with audiences through its exploration of addiction, self-worth, and love.
