Today, Deadline reveals an intriguing venture involving the “ambitious new Sino-American fund Stars-Hana,” aiming to transform several upcoming movies, including anticipated horror productions helmed by James Wan and Sam Raimi, into video games.

The collaboration, Stars-Hana, merges Peter Luo’s Stars Collective, Chinese firm Hana Investment, and Starlight Media, focusing on investments across various domains such as film, TV, comics, games, collectibles, consumer goods, AI, and emerging technologies within a three-year span.

Deadline sheds light on their partnership with gaming giants like Tencent, Tencent-owned DreamSky Technology, HYJZ, and Forevernine to develop these video games.

The planned roster of video game adaptations from Stars-Hana includes:

– “Every House is Haunted,” crafted by Sam Raimi and Roy Lee
– “The Burden,” envisioned by James Wan and Sam Raimi
– “Hunting Season,” a collaboration between James Wan and Don Murphy
– James Wan’s ventures “The Call of Cthulhu,” “Mass Extinction,” and “GMO”

What’s intriguing is that none of these movies are currently in production. However, a delve into past announcements reveals their inception years ago.

In “Every House is Haunted,” an insurance investigator attempts to discredit claims of a couple’s demise due to a haunted house but faces challenges from a psychic and eerie occurrences.

“The Burden” revolves around a woman discovering unsettling family secrets while visiting her boyfriend’s home, uncovering a dark history linked to a neighbor.

“Hunting Season” follows a future law officer banished to the past, marked as an enemy, and hunted by a relentless posse, pushing him to survive within three days.

James Wan’s passion project, “The Call of Cthulhu,” an adaptation of Lovecraft’s renowned narrative, has been clandestinely in the works for years, presenting interconnected parts through notes left by investigator Francis Thurston.

While the report mentions the planned video game adaptation, it doesn’t explicitly confirm the progress of Wan’s “Call of Cthulhu” movie. More updates are anticipated.
