With the news this week that developer Hazelight Studios and dj2 Entertainment would be teaming up to bring It Takes Two to the big and possibly small screen, fans of the action-adventure platformer were pleased, if a little surprised. It Takes Two made a big impact last year after it was released in March, winning praise from players as well as multiple accolades - including Best Multiplayer and Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2021. Despite the buzz generated from the two-player title, video games and films have had a relatively tumultuous relationship, and many popular games and franchises have steered clear of cinemas after some very infamous flops.
