Mark "Markiplier" Fischbach, one of the most popular YouTubers, is getting on board the train of good video game adaptations. He is currently working on producing a horror movie based on Iron Lung, an independent horror game by developer David Szymanski that you can get for $6 USD on Steam.
In case you didn't know, Iron Lung was released in 2022 and aims to create a claustrophobic experience with its retro aesthetic reminiscent of PlayStation or Nintendo 64 games. The game follows the only crew member of the Iron Lung, a windowless submarine that navigates through an ocean of blood filled with dangers. Markiplier played it in its entirety on his channel and enjoyed it so much that he is now planning to make a movie.
Although details about the cast or release date have not been announced yet, it is known that Andrew Hulshult is composing the film's soundtrack. Additionally, Markliplier will play John Iron Lung, and Jacksepticeye will be The Fish. It is worth mentioning that New Blood, the distributor of Iron Lung, is not involved with the project, although the company joked about adapting more games if this project succeeds.
The news has generated a lot of excitement among horror genre fans. Iron Lung seems to be an interesting choice for a cinematic adaptation, as the game presents unique challenges in terms of atmosphere and narrative. It will also be interesting to see what Marklplier and his team manage to create, as it will surely be a production with a similar feel to an independent film.
The popularity of indie games has grown in recent years, and the adaptation of Iron Lung is just another example of how the film world is increasingly interested in this type of game. The movie directed by Markiplier promises to be something interesting by showing us that video game-based cinema can go beyond big Hollywood productions based on titles like Mario, Pokémon, or Sonic.
