The Awesome Indie Game Dredge to Make Waves on the Big Screen with an Upcoming Movie Adaptation

Dredge, the captivating indie game that blends fishing with horrors, is set to make its big-screen debut. Story Kitchen, the production company who is also working on upcoming films based on Vampire Survivors and Slime Rancher, has secured the rights to bring this unique gaming experience to cinemas. They’ve teamed up with Black Salt Games, the developers of Dredge, to adapt the game’s eerie fishing adventures for a wider audience.

Story Kitchen has a track record of turning games with minimal storylines into successful movies. One of its founders, Dmitri Johnson, played a key role in the success of the Sonic the Hedgehog film. With projects in the pipeline like Sifu, Vampire Survivors, and Slime Rancher, they’re no strangers to transforming gaming concepts into compelling cinematic experiences. Despite the exciting announcement, it’s important to note that the Dredge movie is still in the very early stages of development. Casting decisions and other details are yet to be finalized.

As a fan of Dredge’s unique blend of fishing and horror, I’m very excited to see how it will be translated onto the big screen. The potential for a great story and amazing visuals is certainly there, given the game’s originality. While we might have to wait a while before the movie hits theaters, the early buzz is promising, and it’s exciting to imagine the possibilities.

When we first had producers approach us, we thought it couldn’t possibly be real! We were blown away by how much our new partners at @Story_Kitchen_ understood about DREDGE & excited about how they'll weave that understanding into a live action adaptation https://t.co/Xiignj9BnV
