CBS Films picks up rights to make movie based on 2011 game Human Revolution; The Departed and Hitman producers on board.

 

Square Enix's action franchise Deus Ex is heading to Hollywood. GameSpot parent company business unit CBS Films announced today that it has secured the rights to make a movie based on 2011's well-received Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

 

The untitled Deus Ex film will be produced by Roy Lee (The Departed, The Ring) and Andrian Askarieh (Hitman). John P. Middleton, who is working on a number of upcoming films, including supernatural horror movie 7500, will serve as executive producer.

 

CBS Films is also working with Square Enix and developer Eidos Montreal on the project.

 

"No one knows Human Revolution like the team that created it and we look forward to working with them from day one to make a film adaptation worthy of the Deus Ex name," said CBS Films co-president Terry Press.

 

A director for the Deus Ex movie was not announced, nor were any cast members.

Every PC game turning into a motion-picture movie winded up an epic failure of ratings except Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy. As for this movie, it's a tough one, but however there is one director who should NEVER direct this movie, and that is Uwe Boll.

Hhahaa, Uwe Boll, you make a few bad movies and you never hear the end of it.

 

 

I have little faith in anyone making a game to movie adaptation that stays true to the source material, it just doesn't seem to work. But I'll still watch it regardless, if the current quality of movies is anything to go on, it won't be any worse than what is already out there.

That'll be much harder for anyone to create a movie adaptation from either Half-Life or C&C.

Several months later, more updates for the Deus Ex movie and it's not great as I expected to be:

Just a few?

Let's be honest - there was several movies about conspiracy theories with cyberpunk themes, such as Bladerunner or Total Recall (both based on novels of Philip K. Dick). Moreover i wouldn't bother with next Uwe Boll messy movies. The only movie i "liked" made by him was "Postal".
