Back in January 2012, it was announced that Phenomena would get a movie. Very little news was given, other than a short and still unupdated synopsis on Filmed Imagination and some posters on their Facebook page. Until 2013, that is, when the account Phenomena Writer appeared on Twitter. He announced that he wanted it to be a Live Action TV-series. After much development, it tried to gain funds on American Film Market in 2014 with no luck. In 2015, they tried again on the film festival in Cannes with a description and promotional poster this time. Due to the lack of news, it seems like this was a failed attempt as well, probably because of both the bad promotional poster and the bad description of the series making it seem like a Cliché Storm. After 3-4 years of development, one can say it has entered Development Hell, for the fans at least.
The description can be read here.
It attended AFM 2015.
Tropes that can be seen so far:
- Bears Are Bad News: The poster features a huge and aggressive polar bear.
- GIS Syndrome: Most of the promotion poster is this, including that the knight with the flaming sword is the same as the one on the Dragon Age: Inquisition cover.
- Handicapped Badass: Seemingly what they tried to make Alk due to the burns on the right side of his face.
- Shapeshifter: Arol was turned into a changeling due to not to have a too high of a budget.
