By Legendary has reportedly closed an aggressive deal with Mob Entertainment to develop and produce a live-action film adaptation of the horror video game “Poppy Playtime”.
Legendary beat out several others to develop and produce the film along with Mob Entertainment and Angry Films’ Don Murphy and Susan Montford.
The first person video game has the player starring as a former employee of a faded toy brand who, thanks to a cryptic letter, is drawn back to an abandoned facility only to quickly discover it has become home to a host of toys that have taken on a life of their own.
Players have to decipher clues, solve puzzles and use gadgets to unravel the mystery and get out alive before the toys like Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs, and CatNap catch up to them.
The first chapter of the game hit Steam in 2021 and snagged over 12 million players across PC and mobile. The game became a merchandising phenomenon with Huggy Wuggy plushies everywhere.
Legendary aims to achieve the success of other recent video game adaptations, including “The Last of Us,” “Fallout,” “Sonic the Hedgehog” and “Five Nights at Freddy’s”.
