Lost Planet - The Movie

[_____V_____]

July 15, 2008


Warner Bros. has finally confirmed that they are making a Lost Planet movie, based on a script by X-Men scribe David Hayter.

Hayter recently told IGN that were a deal to be struck, he'd "make an effort to take the essence of the game, keep as much of that as possible, and still put it into a proper film."

That game concerns a dangerous expedition to a freezing planet that harbours a thermal energy source with the potential to save mankind, and revolves around amnesiac warrior Wayne Holden.

According to the story in Variety, Avi Arad and Steven Paul will produce through Seaside Entertainment, while WB will have worldwide distribution rights.

Game publisher Capcom will co-finance, much like they are on the current Street Fighter production.

With the ink still fresh on the deal to turn Capcom's blockbuster title Lost Planet into a feature film over at Warner Bros., some additional news emerged today from the studio's E3 press conference.

A source inside Capcom has announced that Lost Planet will mark the highest budgeted game-to-film adaptation ever attempted and that three other unnamed Capcom properties are currently ready to trade-up your TV for the silver screen.

Keep guessing as to which ones they might possibly be.
