I have been a screenwriter for most of my life and a huge fan of the inFAMOUS franchise. Mind you that I have yet to play SECOND SON, so please no spoilers in this discussion.
In the mid-2010s, I thought I knew how to adapt Cole MacGrath's story into a feature film franchise. It would start with a movie based on the first game... obviously. Then, I would adapt the six-issue comic book series from DC into the second movie while also expanding the story a bit so that Cole would have closure on his family and kill off Moya, Sasha, and Alden for good. And finally, I would adapt inFAMOUS 2 as the third and final chapter. At least until SECOND SON gets adapted into a spin-off film afterwards.
The problem is that there is so much material with the two main games that it might as well be impossible to turn them into two or three hour movies based on each game.
Like should adapt each of the two games into two movies each? Or should I do something wild like say adapt the first game into three movies with Sasha in the first movie, Alden in the second movie, and Kessler in the third movie with him as the overarching villain throughout? Two or three movies based on inFAMOUS 2?
How would you bring Cole's story to the big screen?
