Microsoft has announced “Bright Falls” a six-part live action series that serves as a prequel to Alan Wake, the Xbox 360 exclusive game scheduled for release on May 14.
Each episode promises to bring viewers to the edge of their seats with the same eerie and suspenseful cliff-hangers as in the game. Microsoft is comparing the mini-series to the infamous 90’s series Twin Peaks.
The first two episodes will be available for viewing exclusively on Xbox LIVE for Gold members starting April 25 and for all Xbox LIVE members on April 26, before debuting at BrightFalls.com on April 27. A new episode will be released each week thereafter, leading up to the conclusion with the final two episodes on May 17
The series was shot on location in Oregon and is directed by Philip Van, whose short films have won over a dozen awards in festivals including the Sundance Film Festival, Berlin International Film Festival and more.
“Bright Falls” also features notable actors such as Tom Noonan who recently appeared on FX’s “Damages,” and Cooper Huckabee who joins the cast of HBO’s “True Blood” this season.
