Aliens Invade New York: Cooperative Horror The Headliners to be Adapted for Screen by Studiocanal
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The film adaptation draws inspiration from "Cloverfield," "Ghostbusters," and "Nightcrawler."
Studiocanal is preparing a film adaptation of the cooperative horror game The Headliners, in which journalists venture into an alien-occupied New York for sensational photos. Production will be handled by Sixth Dimension, a Studiocanal division specializing in genre films.
Jed Benedict, head of Sixth Dimension, shared his vision for the upcoming film, comparing it to three well-known movies at once:
«Imagine 'Cloverfield' meets 'Ghostbusters' via 'Nightcrawler.' We want to take Kafi Games' brilliantly original horror and show all this chaos through the cameras of journalists who risk life and limb for the perfect shot.»
The project is currently in early development, so no director, screenwriters, or cast have been announced yet. The release date is also unknown. Meanwhile, Sixth Dimension is already working on an adaptation of the horror game Home Safety Hotline from Night Signal Entertainment, which focuses on the work of a telephone service employee.
The original The Headliners was created by a small team led by Lucas Bouilleau and Bruno Gregoire, and published by KAFI. The game was released on PC in 2025 and has since sold over 1.5 million copies.
