Alan Wake to get live-action prequel

Today, Xbox 360 unveiled "Bright Falls," a six-part live action series that is a prequel to Remedy Entertainment's upcoming thriller Alan Wake.

According to Xbox 360, "Bright Falls" will evoke the same ghostly chills as TV show "Twin Peaks" - which, incidentally, premiered 20 years ago this month.

The first two episodes of the series will be available for viewing exclusively on Xbox LIVE for Gold members starting April 25th and for all Xbox LIVE members on April 26th, before debuting at BrightFalls.com on April 27th. A new episode will be released each week, leading up to the final two episodes on May 17th.

Shot on location in Oregon, "Bright Falls" is directed by Philip Van, whose short films have won over a dozen awards in festivals including the Sundance Film Festival, Berlin International Film Festival and more. The series also features notable actors such as Tom Noonan, who recently appeared on FX’s "Damages," and Cooper Huckabee, who joins the cast of HBO’s "True Blood" this season.
