Nevsky attached an unofficial illustration of himself as Cool Sam to his message (see image above) and thanked the fans: “Thanks to everyone who didn’t let me forget about this project!”
The fact is that the actor and director has been talking about a potential adaptation/screen adaptation of Serious Sam since the beginning of 2021, but the matter has never gone beyond serious consideration and discussion with international distributors.

Let us recall that in the games of the Serious Sam series, the main character – the mercenary Samuel Stone (aka Cool Sam) – confronts the alien leader Mental, who is trying to destroy humanity at one point or another in its history.
The newest release in the Serious Sam franchise remains the stand-alone add-on Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem to Serious Sam 4 (2020), released in early 2022. In October 2020, Croteam was purchased by Devolver Digital.
