Although Story Kitchen is relatively new, having been established less than two years ago, it brings a wealth of industry experience to the table as the company was founded by Dmitri Johnson, the producer of the Sonic the Hedgehog film, and Derek Kolstad, the writer of John Wick.
Just last month, Story Kitchen announced two key projects. In collaboration with Black Salt Games, they are set to transform the acclaimed game DREDGE into a live-action film. In addition, the upcoming action game SPINE is scheduled for a live-action feature film adaptation.
