Earlier this week, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the Helldivers movie will be directed by Justin Lin, also known for directing several Fast and Furious and Star Trek films.
While this announcement may seem positive at first glance, part of the gaming community was quick to express outrage that the director has never played Helldivers. However, the CEO of ArrowHead Studio says:
“I have confidence in Justin. […] He did an excellent job on the Star Trek movie.”
For your information, the Helldivers movie is being produced by Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions. Justin Lin is also involved through his company, Perfect Storm Entertainment.
We’ll have to wait until the movie hits the theaters to know how it all ends!
