JesusIsGonnaOwnSatan Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 CBS Films announced today that Scott Derrickson (Sinister, The Exorcism of Emily Rose) will direct the screen adaptation of the iconic Square Enix video game Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Derrickson will also write the screenplay for the film with C. Robert Cargill (Sinister). Roy Lee and Adrian Askarieh are attached to produce the film with John P. Middleton serving as Executive Producer. "Deus Ex is a phenomenal cyberpunk game with soul and intelligence,” said Derrickson, who continued, “By combining amazing action and tension with big, philosophical ideas, Deus Ex is smart, ballsy, and will make one hell of a movie. Cargill and I can't wait to bring it to the big screen." Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Derrickson directs good horror and The Exorcism of Emily Rose was rather good, but nothing I would call particularly amazing. I could always hope this will somehow magically turn into an amazing film, but going by Derrickson's statements painting the game as having 'amazing action' - which it doesn't have, emphasis on either word, it's looking to be an action B-movie. I guess if there's any silver lining to this, it's that Square Enix is serious about Deus Ex as a franchise, further affirming suspicions of a Deus Ex 4.

Ctrl Alt Del Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Well, seeing as Human Revolution seems the focus of this take, you know who looks the part? Keanu Reeves, a most fitting Jensen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesusIsGonnaOwnSatan Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 I simply will not be able to stomach any audio-video representation of Adam Jensen without Elias Toufexis' voice. To the topic in general: I've always loathed it when people called for the creation of a Deus Ex live action movie (often done in awe after watching the cinematic cg trailers). Deus Ex is a bastion of video game history; let it remain as such. There is no reason for it to be bastardized into a movie, especially when video-game movies have almost always been horrible detriments to their respective IP's. ಠ_ಠ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingerhs Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 it could work, but i can think of better games to turn into a movie (Mass Effect, Kotor, Assassin's Creed...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Not sure if you know this Stingy, but Assassin's Creed is locked for a 2013 release by Ubisoft. It will be starring Michael Fassbender, and is a pretty serious project by Sony and Ubisoft Motion Pictures, as awkward as that combination of words sounds.
