Adaptation of books and video games

A film adaptation is a film inspired by a work that already exists. It can be a book, a short story, a video game, a television series or an animated series. There are two types of adaptations: free adaptation and faithful adaptation. Free adaptation can add new characters as well as remove them. The latter can modify a large part of the story such as the beginning or important parts of the story. The faithful adaptation maintains the guidelines of the story, does not change the names of the characters and attempts to be as precise as possible towards the work. At Héroique Films, we produce free or faithful adaptations of books and video games according to demand. Indeed, we use a methodology which is based on objective data, our budget, the financial statements of the book in question, the reputation of the author or director or actors, the accessibility of the book or video game and the feasibility of the latter according to a schedule determined in advance. We will promote books and video games produced here in Quebec and Canada.

Web Series

A web series is a series of online films having several episodes that can be listened to via multiple platforms such as Youtube, Vimeo, iTunes, Netflix, and can be listened to on devices such as flat screens, computers, tablets or portable. It is possible that the company acquires the broadcasting or distribution rights for various films or series in relation to our niche.

Historical, fantastic, fantasy and interactive genre

Supernatural fans? Héroique Films offers you content with a medieval and supernatural flavor in various literary registers such as the fantastic register, the fantasy register and the interactive register. The fantastic register allows the supernatural to exist in a real world without the characters in the book or video game accepting it (Harry Potter). The fantasy register allows a magical or supernatural universe through its inhabitants and its characters in an unreal world (Lord of the Rings). The interactive register allows the spectator to have alternative choices which will modify the story of the book or the video game (Dragon Age). If you love Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Dragon Age, to name just a few, you will be delighted to see, as a spectator, all the cinematographic works that can be produced by our company. Other registers may be added for your digital entertainment which will be exclusive.

Short film

Shorts are short films that can be 30 minutes or less long. Heroique Films sets itself apart by its vision by producing content of approximately 10 minutes. Indeed, these can be rented or purchased at competitive prices in the online entertainment market. This will allow us to offer you more content and to be both more flexible with our schedule and faster between each production.
