New York -- MTV Films announced on Thursday that it has acquired the film rights to "The Suffering," an action-horror video game from Surreal Software, a unit of publisher Midway Games. Released in April 2004, "The Suffering" features a man on death row in an island prison that is invaded by monsters he must battle to escape; a sequel, "The Suffering: Ties That Bind," is scheduled for release this month. MTV Films is working in conjunction with Stan Winston Productions ("Alien," "Predator," "Terminator") and Circle of Confusion to produce the film. The agreement follows an announcement in June between Midway and MTV to jointly market three of Midway's upcoming titles, including "L.A. Rush."
