On Monday (9/5), Hip-Hop fashion designer and Complex founder Marc Ecko shared that he'd been pitched a potential film version of the 2006 video game Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure. Ecko posted a 40-second trailer from director Elliott Montello.
"When I saw the work that Montello did, and all the amazing favors he pulled just to get me on a Zoom call, I could not ignore the universes poke," Ecko said.
"To my day ones…I know. This is NOT Getting UP 2, the video-game," he explained for the die-hard fans of the video game. "I have not given up on the dream. In between life and work, I have prototyped…and have explored pursuing it. For now I am drawn to words and the STORY. I have been developing an adaptation of the game story into something contemporary, but still LOYAL to the original canon of material."
