In a variety exclusive, we have learned that It Takes Two developer Hazelight has teamed with dj2 Entertainment to bring the hit game to the big screen! This is no surprise to us as the game rightfully won game of the year at last years Game Awards thanks to its thrilling narrative!
dj2 is honoured to partner with Josef, Oskar, and the incredible team at Hazelight Studios on the linear movie adaptation of ‘It Takes Two’. Just like the rest of the gaming world, we fell head-over-heels in love with Cody, May, Rose, Dr. Hakim and the imaginative fantasy universe Hazelight have created, and can’t wait to bring these characters -and this world- to life on the big and small screen.

At the current time of writing, no studio or network has attached itself to this project but Variety’s sources did say that it is the subject of a multi-company bidding war; Pat Casey and Josh Miller, the writers behind “Sonic the Hedgehog” and its upcoming sequel, are attached to adapt “It Takes Two” for both movie and TV series screens.
With how controversial video games TV projects are, you can be reassured that dj2 know what they are doing as they are behind both Sonic movies and also the Lara Croft Netflix show (which you can find my article on that here). As well as this, they are also working on a movie based upon ‘Sleeping Dogs’ which was arguably one of the biggest hits of the PS3 era.
