Life is Strange becoming a Live-Action Show

Life is Strange is a point-and-click time travel story by the folks over at Dontnod Entertainment that got near-instant claim and accolades for telling a really interesting story with a cast of likeable, living characters in a world that's both unique and startlingly mundane. It's got a whole ton of awards, it was the Internet's baby for a few months... you get it, it was good. So good, in fact, that Square Enix and Legendary Digital Studio have decided that we deserve more from Maxine Caulfield and her crew: we're getting a Live-Action series.

Jon Brooke, VP Brand and European Marketing at Square Enix, had this to say:

"We're proud and excited to be working alongside Legendary to realize a new version of Arcadia Bay and Blackwell Academy complete with our rich cast of realistic, believable characters and memorable events. Now that the first episode of the Life is Strange game is free to download on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Mac and PC, there's never been a better time to play or to introduce a friend to the beautiful world of Arcadia Bay."

So! That's pretty cool! Being an adventure game, it loans itself pretty easily to being turned into a live-action series, and I'm sure more than a few people will be excited to see where this series goes, regardless of if it's a re-trend of the series of the game, or takes it into new directions.
