American McGee’s Alice TV Adaptation Confirmed, David Hayter On Board As Showrunner

Legendary Solid Snake voice actor David Hayter has been confirmed to helm a TV adaption of EA’s classic video game series American McGee’s Alice, the Hollywood Reporter has revealed.

Hayter’s role a showrunner will see him form a partnership with Abandon Entertainment, and is obviously no stranger to the world of films, having penned the script for X-Men (2000) and The Scorpion King (2002). The American McGree’s TV show will be the first time the franchise has been adapted for the small screen.

What isn’t known yet is what broadcaster or streaming platform will be airing the show, as nothing has been announced in regards to distribution.

Hayter, who voiced Metal Gear Solid’s Sold Snake for a number of games starting with 1998’s Metal Gear Solid on PSOne, commented:

American McGee’s Alice and Alice: Madness Returns game series is a groundbreaking reimagining of the classic tale. It takes you into the heart of a corrupted Wonderland and throws light into shadowy corners the world has never seen. I am beyond excited to bring this world of madness and wonder to a global audience.
