LaKeith Stanfield, who most recently starred in Jeymes Samuel’s sophomore feature, The Book of Clarence, is teaming up with veteran producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura for El Paso, Elsewhere, an adaptation of the neo-noir vampire video game.

Stanfield is reportedly in talks to star in the feature, and will also produce alongside di Bonaventura, the man best known for steering huge franchises like Transformers. Colin Stark is also attached to produce.

The project does not yet have a writer or director, as the project is still being packaged in hopes of finding it a studio. Considering the recent influx of buzzy video game adaptations, with the likes of The Last of Us, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Fallout being both critical and financial successes, odds are high that El Paso, Elsewhere will find a home in no time.

The game centres on a vampire hunter named James Savage, who is on the hunt for his ex-girlfriend Janet (aka Draculae), the latter of whom seeks to bring about the end of the world. The logline, penned by the producers specifically for the adaptation, hints at a deeper, internal conflict: “Recovering from a toxic relationship, James Savage (Stanfield) confronts both his inner demons and enigmatic ex-girlfriend, Janet, before she executes a world-ending ritual. James navigates her reality-bending universe of ethereal monsters while facing the truth of his own addictions and skewed sense of self-worth. James learns that the only route to love is through healing.”
