"Several people were stunned when this indie doc about indie videogame developers opted to sell their film for remake rights to Scott Rudin and HBO. Pajot explained, "He saw the trailer and reached out a week or so before Sundance. That was sort of out of left field because it wasn't something we were pursuing." Swirsky added, "They optioned to potentially turn the concept into a TV show about game development...As a person who watches stuff on TV, I want this to exist. I want to see what these guys do with it." The deal still left the door open for a more typical theatrical release. However that was only the start of their plan." - × × ×
