In an interview with Game Rant, Metro Writer Dmitry Glukhovsky discusses his work in the series Metro Awakening In particular, and the possibility of potential Metro Film or television adaptation. Gluchowski also talked about what the experience of writing for the game was like Metro Awakening Unlike writing a novel, it is instead more similar to screenwriting.

There may still be hope for a Metro 2033 movie

When asked if you are considering taking Metro franchise on the big screen, Glukhovsky noted that he was trying to secure a film rights deal. Metro As far back as 2006. Despite Metro Having seen several successful game and novel releases since then, the film adaptation has yet to be successful. That said, Glukhovsky hinted at some potentially optimistic news on this front, but he couldn't divulge any details.


It has been a long journey for me. I first came to Hollywood probably 17 years ago. I was 27 and I went there to do a film rights deal. 17 years later, we are still where we are. Three video games have been released, and then three books and more things happening in this universe, and still no audio visual project based on that story. I am optimistic. There are some recent events that I'm not legally allowed to spoil, but you know, in the world of movies and TV, you never know. Things can happen in an instant, completely shattering your expectations and hopes. I am a bit superstitious, so I am not disclosing that I am working on various projects as a screenwriter.

Gluchowski said that, as a writer, writing video games has more in common with films than novels. Both games and movies need a soundtrack, a cast of actors, a script, cinematography, and of course a compelling, coherent plot. When writing a novel, Glukhowski says writers can experiment more with storytelling than in a video game or film, especially in terms of structure.


I think writing for a game, for me, is closer to writing for a film because the story in general, when you create the overall arc and storyline, has to be clear and concise. When writing for a book, you can really improvise, and you don't even know what's going on with your main character, you more or less understand what the end station is for that character, and then what you want. Subjectively, to express, right?

Where you are writing a movie script you need to structure, you understand that it is actually a curve of emotions that you want your character to go through. So it is more engineered I would say. Writing a video game is always closer to that. It has to go through some emotions, right?

Although it wasn't initially intended to happen, Glukhovsky sees its potential Metro To be a transmedia machine capable of delivering meaningful experiences across a wide range of formats. Hopefully, he will get a chance to realize this potential, and franchise fans can enjoy it. Metro Movies, comics, or series.
