'Deus Ex' Is The Next Game In Line For A Movie
Over the last handful of days, the name of the game in movie news has been the adaptation of, well, games. First it was 'Assassin's Creed' moving forward with Michael Fassbender starring, and then just yesterday we learned that another Ubisoft game, 'Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell,' would also be coming to the big screen behind Tom Hardy in the role of Sam Fisher. Now it appears 'Deus Ex' is the next game franchise in line to be reset as a cinematic adventure. CBS films has announced their plans to adapt the Square Enix game 'Deus Ex: Human Revolution' into a film with Scott Derrickson ('Sinister') set to direct. Derrickson will also write the script along with C. Robert Cargill...Carlyle himself. Set in a sort of technological renaissance, the game centers on an ex-SWAT security specialist who, in order to uncover a global conspiracy, must embrace mechanical augmentation to his physical form. 'Human Revolution' is the third entry in the series and will serve as the basis for the movie.
First and foremost, congrats to Carlyle for landing another screenwriting gig. I am confident he and Derrickson will put together a killer script for this adaptation. That confidence has nothing to do with my knowing Cargill, and everything to do with the strength of 'Sinister's screenplay. Big surprise here, I haven't played the 'Deus Ex' games, so I don't have much of a frame of reference. However, it has been described as a cyberpunk-themed role-playing game with grand philosophical ideas. That more than piques my interest. Moreover, this announcement coming on the heels of two other game-to-movie news bits has me wondering if we're poised for our own renaissance. The 'Resident Evil' series limps on and the latest 'Silent Hill' flick definitely showed why it probably won't continue to be a franchise. Beyond those, 'Prince of Persia' and 'Max Payne' were the most recent. The shortcomings of these recent entries speak to the overwhelming trend in these adaptations toward low quality. The talent and passion assigned to this new batch of videogame movies in development has me wondering if the trend could be fundamentally bucked. If we might actually see a rash of good videogame adaptations...dare I say it.
What do you guys think? Excited for a 'Dues Ex: Human Revolution' movie? What elements from the games series absolutely must turn up in the film?

Carlyle, from the three titles you brought up I've only seen District 9 and it's a great movie. Ok, I get your point. But from a point of view of CGI, and I happen to be an amateur CG artist, District 9 didn't have lot of CG stuff going on, just a few well designed aliens, a robot and a floating spaceship, oh and amazing compositing. I'm guessing Deus Ex will need a lot more CG than that, namely environments (entire city scapes?), lots of heavy camera/motion tracking driven effects (think human augmentations), not mentioning vehicles, aircraft, explosions etc, and we all know how long these types of things take to make and render out.

So Carlyle...if you want that Bioshock film so bad...methinks you should give it a try yourself?
Do so, and I'll watch it.

No "I never asked for this" joke for the subtitle of this article? I am disappointed, Spill crew.

Sarcastaball, are you saying DISTRICT 9, LOOPER and MOON aren't decent Sci-fi films???

@Supes, agreed. You can't make a decent sci-fi film with a low budget, and god knows a DX movie would need lot of fancy cgi.

Anything can be a movie, it just needs the right approach to it. Halo and AC would be great as TV shows in my opinion, more time to flesh things out and play around with ideas to a greater extent. Let's see how this turns out.
