EDEN: LARS VON TRIER’S ANTICHRIST, THE VIDEOGAME, ONLY FOR REAL
Ah wait, you thought the idea of a Lars Von Trier videogame was someone’s idea of a bad joke? Surprise!
/Film, via Danish news source Politiken, by way of friend of Offworld Gus Mastrapa, brings news that Von Trier’s latest — the Willem DaFoe/Charlotte Gainsbourg-starring Antichrist — will be adapted in game form as the PC title Eden.
Von Trier’s Zentropa film company officially lists Morten Iversen — former script writer for the Hitman games, and now head of Copenhagen-based studio ZeitGuyz — as the game’s director. /Film’s translation of the original Politiken article says the game will be about conquering your own fears, adjusted to the fears you tell the game you have in real life.
It will also, despite starring DaFoe, follow the events of the film itself, which means prrrrrrobably none of the film’s “unhinged female madness, female-inflicted penis bashing and female self-inflicted genital mutilation” that made it “the talk” of Cannes, to say the least (unless you list it as a fear?).
Hit the jump for the film’s trailer, which is also prrrrobably a little NSFW right at the tail end there (so to speak). [Thanks Gus!]
