Film company Annapurna Pictures has announced that its subsidiary Annapurna Animation will be creating a movie based on the cybercat game Stray, a game published by the company’s gaming division Annapurna Interactive.

Annapurna Animation previously produced the film Nimona, which premiered on Netflix in June. Stray is about a cat living in a future inhabited by robots, machines, and bacteria. Annapurna Animation’s head, Robert Baird, commented on the game and the upcoming film:

This is a game that’s all about what makes us human, and there are no humans in it. It’s a buddy comedy about a cat and a robot, and there’s such a hilarious dynamic. So, there’s comedy inherent in this, but there’s not one human being in this movie. I think it’s one of the reasons why the game was incredibly popular, that you are seeing the world through the point of view of an adorable cat. How did they pull that off, and how are we going to pull that off in the movie? We will, even though sometimes it feels impossible, but we know that’s the essence of the game and the key to telling the story.

There is currently no information available about when and where we can expect to see the upcoming Stray film.
