A brutal tale set against the backdrop of a French kingdom ravaged by the Black Death in 1348, but also by the Hundred Years’ War, which leaves the country bloodless. A Tale of the Plague: Innocence A duo of children from the nobility met a painful fate. Amia de Rooney, 15, and her sick younger brother, 5-year-old Hugo, who suffered from strange ailments.
Backed by extraordinary art direction, often stunningly beautiful, it easily holds its own against a production twenty times its budget; benefited from a hypnotic and sublime original soundtrack by composer Olivier Derivier, who created one of his most beautiful scores; To put it mildly A Tale of the Plague: Innocence It left a great impression on the player’s retina and heart.
Here’s the trailer again…
In March 2022, we learned that the license was being adapted into a TV series. Led by the game’s publisher Merlin Productions and Focus Entertainment, the series is set to be directed by Mathieu Toure, whose name has been announced for the project.
Taking advantage of his news with the release of his film Blackface, we interviewed the filmmaker to ask where we are in the adaptation of this extraordinary game, enriched by the sequel, A Plague Tale – Requiem, due in October 2022. Time flies: over a year and a half without any information sinking in.
So Mathieu Toury provided us with a little welcome update. “I’ve been working on it for a long time. It’s a French video game, for those who don’t know, it’s absolutely incredible. It’s a series, so complex. We’re working on narrative arcs, we’re looking for the perfect anchor that we’ve found, but it’s still being finalized.
We want to keep the series in French, it’s super ambitious. The game can be violent at times in the medieval world we love. So far, the adaptation is off to a good start! But mostly, I’d rather it didn’t exist unless it was absolutely true to what the game developers did. So, goodbye to those who ask a lot of questions: things are moving forward. It just takes a long time to set up, much more than in the cinema.”
He also tells us to work on another video game adaptation: “I have an American project that’s on hold because of the strike, we had the green light and we’re in the casting phase. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you what the game is yet, but I’m holding back a little bit. . . I’m very lucky to be working on it.”
It definitely works up an appetite! Any idea what game it could be?
