Outlander heartthrob Sam Heughan is in talks to lead Sony’s upcoming movie adaptation of the popular apocalypse video game DaysGone.
Fresh off the success of Sony's Uncharted adaptation starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, it has been announced that Sony Playstation Productions is developing a feature adaptation of the 2019 action-adventure video game, Days Gone. Per Deadline Sam Heughan, who plays male lead Jamie Fraser in Starz's hit series Outlander, is in talks to headline the film.
The original video game, which was released on Playstation 4 in April 2019, sold 9 million units during its shelf life. The third-person video game followed Deacon St. John, an ex-criminal-turned-bounty hunter surviving an apocalypse. In the world of the game, a pandemic turned citizens into "Freakers," quickly evolving zombies of sorts. Instead of setting up camp like other survivors, Deacon stays on the road traveling on his motorcycle.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Turner is set to produce the film alongside Jennifer Klein through Vendetta Productions. Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan will also serve as producers on the Days Gone film. The news of another video game adaptation for Sony is not even the least bit surprising, since this year's Uncharted adaptation raked in over $401 million worldwide.
Not much else is currently known about the film adaptation of Days Gone, but stay tuned at Collider for updates!
