Matt Jordan Smitt, head of development and production at Pageboy, shared insights into the team's approach, emphasizing a commitment to "honor the game’s legacy while inviting fresh perspectives." He underscored the thematic focus on survival and the impact of split-second decisions, which are central to the narrative.
*Beyond: Two Souls* originally debuted on the PlayStation 3 in 2013, later expanding to PlayStation 4 and PC in 2015 and 2019, respectively. Crafted by Quantic Dream's David Cage, the game follows Jodie Holmes, a young woman with psychic abilities linked to a spirit named Aiden. The game's non-linear storytelling and high-profile cast, including Page and Willem Dafoe, set it apart.
David Cage has confirmed his involvement in the TV adaptation, expressing excitement about working with Page once more. "We are absolutely thrilled to collaborate again with Elliot Page on this project," Cage remarked. "I was blown away by his acting performance in the game, and I couldn’t think of anyone else to tell this story with the same passion on another medium. *Beyond: Two Souls* is a very special game for millions of players around the world who were moved by the story of Jodie and Aiden, and their journey in life and beyond. I know that Elliot has all the talent and instinct to make it something really unique on TV."
