LaKeith Stanfield, acclaimed for his performances in films like ‘Get Out’ and ‘Judas and the Black Messiah,’ is reportedly in discussions to star in a film adaptation of the cult vampire third-person shooter game, ‘El Paso, Elsewhere.’ Despite positive reviews upon its release in September, the game failed to gain widespread attention.
Produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, known for the ‘G.I. Joe’ and ‘Transformers’ film series, details about the film remain scarce. However, the involvement of Stanfield and Bonaventura suggests a substantial budget for the adaptation.
The film’s plot is expected to closely follow the events of the game, centering around James Savage, played by Stanfield. Savage, grappling with addictions, discovers his ex-girlfriend’s sinister plan for a world-ending ritual. In a bid to save humanity, he ventures into a reality-bending universe, confronting not only his own vices but also deadly enemies and his vengeful ex-girlfriend.
