Indie Hit Stray to Be Adapted into an Animated Movie

Definitely would be interested. I would prefer if there was no dialogue, however. I think the game was at its strongest during the opening when you had to purely intuit the world as the cat and not have robots explain what’s going on as if a cat would be able to understand or empathise lol.

I think the robots were good characters but I would have preferred if they and the cat, two non-human entities, used non verbal cues to communicate. Trying to bridge the gap that the humans left behind.

How do you adapt this to a movie

Definitely running out of idea's now

I think this could adapt wonderfully into an animated film. Something with little to no dialogue along the line of the red turtle or angel egg.
People who don't play games can enjoy it that way as well. Wonder if people whined about when various mythologies were adapted to songs, plays, books, paintings, poems etc. But these days an original story gets adapted for the first time and the internet moans about instantly, but I doubt by a crowd that would ever interact with something off the beaten path.

I know Liam Croft is absolutely going nuts right now with excitement, he alone will ensure that the movie is a box office success 😌

I adore Stray, but what I got out of it the most was the interactivity of exploring every nook and cranny of its small cities. Take that away and it's kinda just....eh.

Plus, I REALLY doubt they're going to stay true to the game by not having any voiced dialogue beyond the robot language, so I expect the robots to have cutesy quips just so the kiddies won't get bored.

Love the aesthetic, the atmosphere, the sound and the world design, so this should adapt well. It's just bloody charming from start to finish 😸

Annapurna is pretty well known for it's more indie, arthouse vibes for it's big films anyway, so it's a no brainer.

(When Stray gets to screens before Sly Cooper) 😢

Hopefully they don't sweeten it too much, the tone of this game is pitch purrfect.

I’m on board. Good cat.

@PlayStationGamer3919 because Annapurna Pictures is an independent film production company, and Annapurna Interactive published the game Stray

What game were you expecting them to make a film of? 😁

For an idea of what this MIGHT look like, there's a CGI short on "Love, Death and Robots" with a similar theme. The game reminded me of it everytime you interacted with someone in the world.

I honestly think this would have been better as a movie, so it's a good idea. The gameplay is pretty minimal, so you wouldn't be missing much if you weren't actually playing it.

Time for it to get the Garfield treatment lol and by that I mean make the cat talk to keep the movie interesting

I'd welcome it but I'd also welcome a sequel or prequel

Getting serious WALL-E vibes here. That's no bad thing because it's a great movie. This could be too because it's such a unique story. Depends how much exposition there is I suppose - Stray worked well because it was woven in nicely with the story.

@PlayStationGamer3919 which has nothing to do with Annapurna in any way...

This isn't a Sony adaption

I'd be more interested about news of a follow up game...
