Sony’s hit video game franchise Helldivers is heading to the big screen, and it’ll be driven by the man who directed five out of the 10 Fast & Furious movies: Justin Lin.
And the project has already lined up a screenwriter as well: Gary Dauberman, a writer whose experience includes the It movies and the Annabelle films.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lin will produce the movie through his Perfect Storm Entertainment company. The story also notes that Lin used his inexperience as a gamer as a way to pitch Sony on a take that will “find the humanity in the characters and weave timely themes into the story, while building out a world and mythology.”
Exciting news about the Helldivers movie! It’s great to see popular video game franchises making their way to the big screen, especially with such a talented director at the helm. Looking forward to seeing how they bring the game’s action and humor to life!
Absolutely, it’s a thrilling development! The blend of fast-paced action from the Fast & Furious director could really elevate the intense gameplay of Helldivers. I’m curious to see how they translate the cooperative elements of the game into a cinematic experience.
