For as much as we adore Life Is Strange, the episodic adventure had some hella cringe writing. That said, the title's angst-driven drama makes it a perfect fit for a live-action adaptation – and that's exactly what Square Enix, Dontnod, and Legendary Digital Studios have announced. The latter is no stranger to video game conversions, having worked on a couple of Dead Rising movies.
There's no word just yet on who will star in this series, but the press release seems to indicate that it will be a re-telling of Max Caulfield's story, and not a new tale. The French developer behind the fiction admitted on its Tumblr that it doesn't have any further details to share at this time, so sit tight. Or, if you possess time altering powers, maybe come back from the future and comment on whether it's any good.

Done the right way with good casting it could work out well. The problem is that there will be no suprises because we already know how the game works out.
Only thing that'll make me watch is if they somehow cast Bex-Taylor Klaus
Agree Sammy, there really was some hella sh*t writing in that game. I think they were trying to be "down with the kids" and it was cringy...
Good game apart from that though!
The first episode is free to download from the US PSN Store.
Still on the fence about getting the game. Been wanting something different though, especially after loving "Gone Home".
Currently on episode 4 and I love it, I do think the script needs a little work cause the game is pretty cringe at times
Love the game. Make it work!
@Dodoo Agreed to an extent, but...teenagers ARE cringey, and that's part of why I loved it. Dunno about anyone else but I was a total moron when I was a teenager, embarrassingly so. From the way I talked and joked to the way I dressed.
Anywho, pretty interested to see how this turns out. I don't think it's aimed at gamers so much, though. After all, we've seen the story before and had an influence on the choices. So think this is more so to get people that haven't played it interested in the game and where it came from. Will still watch it either way but I wouldn't be surprised if fans of the games have a lot of complaints when it lands.
@SkanetWasTaken Haha, yes exactly! It's adorable in how bad it is and I can totally relate to it on that level.
Sad face
