‘El Paso, Elsewher<i></i>e’ Film Adaptation in the Works With LaKeith Stanfield in Talks to Star

Hit neo-noir video game “El Paso, Elsewhere” is heading for the big screen in a new film adaptation.

Academy Award nominee LaKeith Stanfield (“The Book of Clarence,” “Judas and the Black Messiah”) is in talks to star in and produce with Lorenzo di Bonaventura’s Di Bonaventura Pictures (the “Transformers” and “G.I. Joe” franchises). Colin Stark would also produce.

Released in 2023, indie game “El Paso, Elsewhere” was developed by Strange Scaffold, the development label of BAFTA-nominated game developer, writer, and voice actor Xalavier Nelson Jr. The third-person shooter draws inspiration from “Max Payne,” “Quake” and “Hotline Miami.”

In 2024, it was nominated for best indie game at the New York Game Awards and for outstanding achievement for an independent game at the D.I.C.E. Awards.
