There's a Days Gone movie adaptation in development

In the wake of Uncharted’s success

Days Gone, Sony’s zombie survival-on-a-motorbike game, is getting a movie adaptation.Deadlinereport that Sony PlayStation Productions is developing the project with Sheldon Turner attached as writer and Outlander’s Sam Heughan attached to star.

Days Gone is set in a post-apocalyptic Pacific Northwest and stars outlaw-turned-wife-guy Deacon St. John as he journeys to discover whether his wife Sarah, previously presumed dead, is actually alive. As a game, it was praised for some of its systems, unfavourably compared to Sony’s other post-apoc story The Last Of Us, and gently mocked for its story.

Screenwriter Sheldon Turner’s previous credits include Adam Sandler American football film The Longest Yard, a story-by credit on X-Men: First Class, and he was nominated for an Academy Award for co-adapting the screenplay for George Clooney movie Up In The Air. The Deadline story says the Days Gone adaptation will be a “love ballad to motorcycle movies”.
