Lionsgate and Red Barrels are bringing 'the Outlast Universe' to the big screen

Outlast 2 horror crawling toward screen.

If you've ever thought to yourself that Outlast would make a good horror flick, you'll be thrilled to hear that developer Red Barrels has signed a deal with Lionsgate to bring the game series to the big screen.

Roy Lee, whose previous credits include It, Barbarian, Late Night With the Devil, and Strange Darling, is signed to head up the project, while John Thomas Petty, the writer on all the Outlast games, is also working on the screenplay. "Red Barrels has been pushing the limits of horror in games for more than a decade, and expanding the Outlast Universe into film is an incredible opportunity to dive deeper into the characters and killers we love," Petty said.
