Mark "Markiplier" Fischbach, one of the most popular YouTubers, who actually wants to jump on the bandwagon of good video game adaptations. The streamer is currently working on the production of a horror movie based on Iron Lung, an indie horror game by developer David Szymanski, which you can get for $6 USD on Steam. In addition, the horror game was originally out in 2022 and aims to create a claustrophobic experience with its retro aesthetic reminiscent of PlayStation or Nintendo 64 games. In fact, the game follows the sole crew member of the Iron Lung, a windowless submarine sailing through an ocean of blood filled with dangers. Markiplier played it in its entirety on his channel and enjoyed it a lot, which is why he is now planning to make a movie.
Although for now there is no news about the cast, fans know that Andrew Hulshult is composing the film's soundtrack. In addition, Markliplier will play John Iron Lung and Jacksepticeye will be The Fish. It is worth mentioning that New Blood, Iron Lung's distributor, does not participate in the project, although the company teased that it will adapt more games if this project succeeds.
The news has generated a lot of excitement among fans of the horror genre. Iron Lung seems to be an interesting choice for a film adaptation, as the game presents unique challenges in terms of setting and narrative. It will also be interesting to see what Marklplier and his team manage to create, as it will surely be a production with a similar cut to that of an independent film.
