The film adaptation is set to be produced by Keith and Jesse Wu Calder for Snoot Entertainment, well-known for Blindspotting, Little Monsters and You’re Next, alongside Sean Vanaman and Jake Rodkin for Campo Santo.
Campo Santo’s Firewatch was a surprise hit upon its 2016 release and after initially being set at Good Universe, the video game developer is partnering with Snoot Entertainment to develop a film adaptation of the title, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Snoot Entertainment’s next project is Regina King’s directorial debut, the historical drama One Night in Miami, which is set to make its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival this September.
“Firewatch is a stunning accomplishment, a beautiful and heartbreaking piece of art,” Keith Calder said in a statement.
