In today’s roundup of things you know are probably never actually going to happen because they’ll be cancelled years after everybody’s forgotten they were going to happen in the first place, CBS and Eidos Montreal have apparently signed a deal for a film adaptation of Deus Ex: Human Revolution.<\/p>\n
“As is clear from the wild success of the game, Square Enix and Eidos-Montreal know how to exceed their audience’s expectations by engineering incredible worlds,” said Terry Press, co-president of CBS Films. “No one knows Human Revolution like the team that created it, and we look forward to working with them from day one to make a film adaptation worthy of the Deus Ex name.”<\/p>\n
According to a report over on Variety, John P. Middleton is attached as producer with Maria Faillace, and creative executive Alex Ginno. Nope, I’ve no idea who they are either.<\/p>\n
“As the millions of fans who have played the Deus Ex games for more than a decade will tell you, these games catapult you into a universe that is stimulating, engaging and relevant,” said Phil Rogers, president and CEO of Square Enix Europe. “We’re firm believers in building strong partnerships, and so we’re thrilled to be working with CBS Films on bringing the unique Deus Ex experience to the big screen.”<\/p>\n
Take a screen capture for the children of the future, people. This is probably the last time you’ll hear about it.<\/p>\n
