Clair Obscur Expedition 33 star encourages fans to boycott the film if he’s not in it
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Sandfall Interactive’s debut RPG released in April 2025, became a commercial and critical juggernaut, selling over 8 million copies and winning hundreds of industry awards.
In January 2025, Story Kitchen announced plans to develop a film adaptation of the game. However, subsequent development updates have been sparse, leaving fans and industry observers with little information about the project’s progress or casting decisions.
The game’s remarkable success has generated significant fan enthusiasm about a potential film adaptation. Many players have speculated about potential casting, particularly hoping to see original voice actors reprise their roles. Rich Keeble, who voiced Monoco in the game, has not been included in any casting discussions with the filmmakers. In response to his exclusion, Keeble has publicly encouraged fans to boycott the film if he is not cast in the adaptation.
His boycott call reflects a broader expectation within the gaming community that successful game adaptations should retain the original cast whenever possible. This sentiment has become increasingly important to players, who view continuity with the source material—including its performers—as essential to a faithful adaptation.
