20th Century Studios has acquired the film rights to the popular Roblox game, 99 Nights in the Forest, and plans to create a Hollywood-style live-action adaptation. The project is being produced by director Sam Raimi, known for his work on the Evil Dead and Spider-Man films, and his longtime collaborator, Rob Tapert. Screenwriter Josh Cooley, who has worked on Toy Story 4, Transformers One, and Pixar's Inside Out, will pen the live-action adaptation.
Cooley, who has an impressive track record for storytelling, previously won an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay with Inside Out in 2016. The game, released in 2025, is a survival horror experience where players must navigate a haunted forest, build camps, collect supplies, and fend off supernatural creatures, including a particularly aggressive deer.
At this stage, not much is known about the film adaptation, with details about its plot, cast, and release date still to be confirmed.
