El Paso, Elsewhere – the ultra-stylish “neo noir” motel-in-hell shooter from developer Strange Scaffold – is getting the movie treatment following its acclaimed release last year.
El Paso, Elsewhere takes players into the bowels of a reality shifting Texan motel – and across the boundaries of hell itself – as they hunt down their vampiric ex-girlfriend before she can end the world. Unfortunately, a whole supernatural army of werewolves, fallen angels, and other damned creatures lies in the way, leading to some seriously intense shootouts in what Strange Scaffold calls a “vivid slow motion love letter to action classics.”
It’s mesmerising, almost overwhelmingly stylish stuff, so news there’s an El Paso, Elsewhere movie in the works isn’t all that surprisingly. As per Deadline, Academy Award nominee LaKeith Stanfield (Get Out, Uncut Gems, The Book of Clarence) is in talks to produce and star in the feature, hoping to take the lead role of James Savage. “While recovering from a toxic relationship,” explains Deadline’s synopsis, “[James] confronts both his inner demons and enigmatic ex-girlfriend, Janet, before she executes a world-ending ritual.”
