Even though Markiplier found huge success with adapting Iron Lung into a film, Jacksepticeye isn't planning on enlisting his help for his own upcoming Bloodborne adaptation.
Jacksepticeye, real name Seán McLoughlin, is a producer on the film – and he's also a superfan of the game, so it would seem Bloodborne is in excellent hands.
When asked by Radio Times at the BAFTAs if he'd be speaking to Markiplier to get any tips, Jacksepticeye responded: "No. This is my thing. I have to figure it out on my own, and do it on my own. But the team we have around me already are already incredible, and that's kind of my job is to figure out who those people are. I can handle it. I'll do it."
Markiplier wrote, directed, and starred in his adaptation of Iron Lung, which turned out to be a surprise hit at the box office. The Bloodborne adaptation, meanwhile, is an R-rated animated movie announced at CinemaCon during Sony's panel, and it was teased to be "very true" to the beloved FromSoftware action-RPG.
"I know a lot of you are gonna be surprised to hear that my name is attached to this thing. Again, I'm a producer. I'm not the writer or director of this. That stuff will come out later, about who's involved. But as the producer of it, whatever is within my power to be able to do, I will do it," Jacksepticeye said in a video after the announcement.
"I will fight tooth and nail to make this thing the best it possibly can be from my standpoint. I assure you. I promise you. I'm not going into this and taking it lightly. I know what an absolute gigantic honor it is. No one knows that better than I do."
The Bloodborne movie doesn't yet have a release date, but, while you wait, check out our guide to the most exciting upcoming video game adaptations for everything else worth getting excited about.
