The Deus Ex movie is really happening. Based on the recently-released Human Revolution, the upcoming film adaptation has just signed a writer and director.

Scott Derrickson will write and direct the film. Best known for his work on the recently-released Sinister, the director's resume includes The Day the Earth Stood Still and The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
It appears the movie will follow the story of the game quite closely. Deadline reports that Deus Ex follows Adam Jensen who must "embrace mechanical augments in order to unravel a global conspiracy." That sounds about right.
"Deus Ex is a phenomenal cyberpunk game with soul and intelligence," the newly-attached director said. "By combining amazing action and tension with big, philosophical ideas, Deus Ex is smart, ballsy, and will make one hell of a movie."

Bummer. Just leave the IP alone, stop trying to make a quick buck by putting our things that poorly represent the IP.

It would make a great movie if done right.

what are the chances of that? And its really tough because you got to change things to make it work for a 90 minute movie format but then you are pissing off the fans who don't want things changed. But that stuff is really neither here nor there because the chance that a movie of anything is going to be good is pretty low. The chance that a game related movie is going to be good is like one in a million. Probably more. So yeah, anything done right could be great. But can it be done right? And if so what are the chances of that?
I mean are there any great movies based off of games? I can't think of any. I mean would any make a critics top 20 list? top 50 even? I doubt it.-
As long as they don't make it a straight action movie, it could be great.

I remember seeing Silent Hill in the theater and thinking 'well, it got a lot of references and nuances - but... was it good?'
Eh. Certainly not the best immediate review after exiting a theater.

Don't lump the whole medium together. Of course video game plots could make great movies, the problem is that most studios don't hire the talent to back that up. They're more concerned with making a quick buck or exploiting the IP than doing something right and building a franchise off of it.
My biggest problem is that they change the story or the style so much that it becomes unrecognizable as the original IP and that never works. Nobody likes that.-
How many of these are movies based off of games?

the highest rated theatrical film based on a video game is actualy Resident Evil 1

Yeah it's doomed. What are the chances that its not? 1/10,000 odds? Yeah its possible that it is a good movie, but it seems extremely unlikely. And I like Deus Ex so as a fan I would prefer for them not to cheapen the brand.

Grow up. Wake up. Take your pick.

You're missing the forest for the trees.
Deus Ex: HR was s phenomonal game, but it didn't play like a game. There were numerous times while playing that I felt like I was participating in a movie. In the best of ways.
The story is rich enough and the characters feel enough that it could make an excellent movie.-
If its a great movie I'll buy you a house

But it won't be a great movie. So they need to stop trying.

I didn't ask for this.

You had me until I read 'the director's resume includes The Day the Earth Stood Still'.
Now I'm reluctant and carrying a pitchfork.-

"Owen Gleiberman writes that "Gort isn't so lovey-dovey" in the remake; rather, "he's like a super-tall, obsidian Oscar statue wreaking havoc."
The fuck? He certainly wasn't 'lovey-dovey' in the original film, either. If memory serves, he was terrifying. I recall him melting a whole army outfit's rifles and friggin tanks.
This guy, this Owen. He's a mouth-breather.

...was it? I thought he was born to be Ted Logan and that every subsequent role since 'Excellent Adventure' has been him channeling Ted.

I hope it comes out alongside that Nerumancer adaption
which would be the day cyberpunk became mainstream
