Subject: 'Sinister' director to helm adaptation of videogame 'Deus Ex: Human Revolution'



Could the videogame movie be making a comeback?

Director Scott Derrickson (Sinister, The Exorcism of Emily Rose) has signed up to helm a feature film adaptation of the 2011 videogame Deus Ex: Human Revolution, CBS Films announced Thursday. He will also pen the script with Sinister screenwriter C. Robert Cargill.

The Square Enix game — a prequel to 2000′s Deus Ex, and 2003′s Deus Ex: Invisible War — follows Adam Jensen, a security chief at a huge multinational corporation whose body is augmented with cybernetic improvements after a brutal attack.

“Deus Ex is a phenomenal cyberpunk game with soul and intelligence,” Derrickson said in a statement. “By combining amazing action and tension with big, philosophical ideas, Deus Ex is smart, ballsy, and will make one hell of a movie.”

My novel is so fucking similar to this game, based on everything I've read about it.

Hopefully it does well!

Still waiting for that Bioshock movie...

Me. Too.

I'd be super down for Dead Space also but I feel like that would go a super cheesy Doom route with someone like Uwe Boll directing it.

I was psyched when Gore Verbinsky was going to direct it with an R-rating...

A Bioshock movie wouldn't be worth it if it was rated PG-13 or less.

I can not even play that game when I'm by myself. I don't even want to imagine what watching a halfway decent movie based on the game would be like.

I consider myself a survival horror veteran but I legitimately cannot play BioShock. I guess because it combines my claustrophobia and fear of being in the ocean... plus the enemies with their masks and crazy voices are fucking scary

Most of Hollywood hates making underwater movies apparently. It's a hassle and dangerous and expensive, so until they find some alternative or someone willing to deal with it and finance it, it's not going to happen. It's a long way off unfortunately :(

This game...

The gameplay, the experience and endings were good but ugh the hero is a douchebag (lbr) and what the hell was that final boss fight ???!!!??!?

That's enough, Square Enix

Time to give you the Old Yeller treatment.
jennomac 16th-Nov-2012 05:36 pm (UTC)
The other night I was having a perfectly normal dream when all of a sudden, the demon thing from Sinister popped up and turned to look at me. Just at that moment, my alarm clock went off.

I'VE BEEN WATCHING MY DAMN BACK EVER SINCE, NO THANKS, GUY.

We don't need anymore videogame adaptations after the perfection of the Silent Hill movies
yoshiyuki_ly 16th-Nov-2012 05:50 pm (UTC)
...I'll enjoy it if they keep the gold/black art direction everywhere, with a focus on stealth. If it's some stupid action-packed Michael Bay-esque shit, keep it.

Considering Max Payne and Hitman made Double Dragon and Mortal Kombat look Oscar worthy. As long as this is better than those it'll be decent. Hell if it's on Resident Evil levels it will still be better than at least 70% percent of all video game films.

I will say this has an interesting base and if done right could feel very Minority Report meets Fifth Element.

i wanted to fuck this shit out of adam jensen, god damn. id put my legs on his gigantic shoulders and let him go to town with his cyborg dick :')
kimoto 16th-Nov-2012 06:32 pm (UTC)
Me too he's just so hot.
swim_thedepths 16th-Nov-2012 06:20 pm (UTC)
I'd be okay if:

-- They get someone hot to play Adam
-- They don't make it lame with some lost love plot line
-- The graphics won't be cheesy on his body. I'm thinking Transformers for some reason D:

Casting for Adam?

First person to pop into my head is Zachary Levi, but I've been rewatching Chuck and I'm unoriginal like that, so that's probably why. Granted, when he's scruffy it looks like it could work.

Conversely, Idris Elba for all the roles, but he may be considered too old for the part. Boo.

Daniel Henney? Although, I've never seem him even remotely scruffy sooooo...
lostinshalott 16th-Nov-2012 07:03 pm (UTC)
That sounds HORRIFYING D:
redleigh86 16th-Nov-2012 07:18 pm (UTC)
I'm most concerned about the casting for Adam. You know they're just going to cast whoever is popular right now if they can and it'll turn out to be Tom Hardy or Joseph Gordon Levitt or something DDD:
ginger_maya 16th-Nov-2012 07:19 pm (UTC)
LMAO too late for Tom Hardy, he's already doing a Splinter Cell movie. It's even mentioned in the source article of this post. XDDDD
