Gaumont turns Isklander into drama

Interactive game series Isklander

The UK arm of French producer Gaumont has optioned film and TV rights to London-based immersive entertainment company Swamp Motel’s interactive game series Isklander.

The three-part alternate reality adventure series see players turn online detectives as they enter a world of corporate deceit, occult horrors and shadowy cabals to uncover the twists and turns of a murky underworld deep within high society.

Starring actor Dominic Monaghan (The Lord of the Rings), the first instalment of the Isklander trilogy launched last year and has since amassed over 60,000 players across the UK and US.

Gaumont UK will adapt the story into a multi-part drama series for TV, led by CEO and exec producer Alison Jackson and senior development exec Jamie Jackson.

Alison Jackson said: “From the moment our senior development executive Jamie Jackson played the first of the Isklander trilogy and recommended it to the team, we could see its potential for adaptation.

“A breathtakingly paced thriller, with a fascinating conspiracy and heart stopping twists at its centre, it feels exactly like the sort of show we’re all desperate to watch at the moment.”
