Live Action ‘System Shock’ Series in the Works from ‘Mortal Kombat’ Writer Greg Russo
As we recently learned, a live action System Shock series is in the works, of course based on the same-titled video game. And today brings an update on that particular project.
A co-production between Binge and Nightdive Studios, the live-action System Shock series will stream exclusively on Binge.com, with Greg Russo (Mortal Kombat) writing & directing.
Deadline reminds in their report this morning, “The original System Shock plunges players into Citadel Station in the year 2072, where an unnamed hacker wakes from a coma only to be confronted by murderous robots, killer cyborgs, malicious mutants, and a malevolent AI named SHODAN that seeks to control Earth.”
The original sci-fi/adventure game was released back in 1994.
“I’m honored to have the opportunity to work alongside the fantastic team at Binge and Nightdive Studios to bring the iconic System Shock franchise to life,” said Russo. “I’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to make my directorial debut, and I finally found it.” Russo will executive produce alongside Nightdive’s Stephen Kick and Larry Kuperman.
Binge is set to launch in 2022, and will offer premium content to stream for free.
Meanwhile, Nightdive’s System Shock remake is also on the way!
