Gary Dauberman’s (Until Dawn) label Coin Operated has picked up the film rights to Bloober Team’s horror video game, The Medium.

First launched in 2021 for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam, The Medium is set in the late ‘90s, and follows Marianne, a psychic investigating the abandoned Hotel Niwa in search of answers about her past.

Exploring the physical world and the spirit world simultaneously, this gameplay mechanic lets players use the interactions between them to solve dual-reality puzzles, unlock new paths, and awaken memories of past events.

The spirit world is a dark mirror reflection of our reality, and it has been modeled and designed from inspirations of Polish dystopian surrealist painter Zdzisław Beksiński.

“With its compelling story and incredibly cinematic visuals, The Medium is a natural for a feature film adaptation,” said Dauberman. “When I talked to Piotr about it, we immediately connected on our mutual love of horror and his vision for where the genre is headed.”

Dauberman continues, “I have no doubt anything Bloober develops is going to push horror forward in unique and terrifying ways, and I’m excited to be working alongside them.”

THR first reported on The Medium adaptation.
