A movie adaptation of DreadXP’s indie video game “Amanda the Adventurer” is in the works at Blumhouse.
The project will be spearheaded by Matthew “MatPat” Patrick, the former-host of the “Theory” channels on YouTube,
and was revealed by Patrick and Jason Blum on stage at the Blumfest panel at New York Comic Con on Friday.
Patrick was the moderator for the Blumfest panel and Blum opened the show by revealing Blumhouse has struck a multi-project deal with Patrick, beginning with the “Amanda the Adventurer” movie. The duo said they are currently in talks with potential writers and directors for the film and more details will be revealed soon.
Along with MatPat and Blum, the “Amanda the Adventurer” adaptation will also be produced by Epic Pictures CEO Patrick Ewald.
Best known for his popular YouTube channels, Patrick has also hosted the reality competition show “The Runner” (from executive producers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck) and landed voice-acting roles in a “Transformers” web series and Blumhouse’s “Five Nights at Freddy’s” film franchise. He also co-produced the Tony-nominated Broadway play “Grey House” and the West End musical “Your Lie” in April.
He is represented by Dan Levitt, The.Team.
