“Dangerous Game” Renewed, Re-Edited For Film – Dark Horizons

Quibi has renewed its Liam Hemsworth and Christoph Waltz-led action thriller series “Most Dangerous Game” for a second season.
One of the short-form service’s most-high profile titles, the series follows Dodge Tynes (Hemsworth) who is desperate to take care of his pregnant wife before a terminal illness can take his life and accepts an offer to participate in a deadly game where he’s the prey.
Nick Santora (“Scorpion”) serves as showrunner and has already written the second season which will have Waltz return opposite a new ‘runner’ and take place across New York and Long Island. Santora says: “[we’re] prepping it now with the hopes of being able to film it when there’s a handle on filming safely in the time of COVID.”
That’s not all though. Santora is also in the process of turning the show into a standalone feature thanks to Quibi’s rights position which hands the rights back to the creators after a period of time.
Santora says the plan is to take the show’s fifteen existing segments that run up to ten minutes each and “work with the composer to smooth out some of the musical cues, and get the establishing shots that we would need to act as bridges”.
As a result, with some minimal effort across a few weeks, they could turn the project “into a nice hour and fifty minute movie that would play really well.”
