Inspired by this movie??


After hearing they will be turning Firewatch into a movie, I read up all about the story, I was intrigued. And don't get me wrong, this sounds like a great game and potentially great movie, but it sounds incredibly familiar to another movie I've seen called The Watch http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1166118/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2 .

The Watch centers around a girl who decides to get away from the stress of life and focus on writing her thesis for University by getting a job out at a fire-watch tower. She also hopes to battle her fears of the dark and gain new independence by living alone for a few weeks. The park manager, Rhett, seems like a very weird and unusual person, yet somehow reassures the girl of her safety. Whilst she lives alone in the watch tower she can only communicate via the walkie-talkies they have. Eventually,sinister and mysterious things begin to happen. The film came out in 2008.
