From Pixels To Celluloid

In this episode of From Pixels to Celluloid, we deliver a full spoiler review of Iron Lung and examine how it translates from game to film. We break down what worked, what didn’t, and whether the film succeeds as a true adaptation of the original indie horror game — or functions better as a companion piece that expands on its atmosphere and ideas. Beyond the review, we also discuss what this project could mean for the future of video game adaptations. Could this open the door for more smaller filmmakers to take on other gaming IPs? And could we see more indie games adapted for film rather than just major studio titles? As usual, this is a laid-back yet analytical discussion between two friends exploring how video games are adapted for film and TV. If you enjoy in-depth, relaxed conversations about game-to-screen adaptations, be sure to follow the podcast for upcoming episodes. Stephen Whiley produced the FPTC theme.
