<\/strong>A live-action adaptation of the Castle Wolfenstein series is heading to the big-screen.<\/p>\n

The American Film Market announced that producer Samuel Hadida and writer Roger Avary are onboard to contribute their skills to the project.<\/p>\n

Hadida was a producer on the Silent Hill movie, which was well-received from most gamers. Avary\u2019s best work earned him an Oscar for co-writing Pulp Fiction with Quentin Tarantino, and he’ll be writing and direct Castle Wolfenstein.<\/p>\n

“Castle Wolfenstein is an action adventure film\u00a0in the\u00a0vein of Captain America and Inglourious Basterds. \u00a0<\/em>The story\u00a0<\/em>follows a\u00a0young US Army Captain and a British Special Agent on a top secret mission to Castle Wolfenstein, where Hitler will be for the\u00a0unveiling\u00a0of a new secret weapon. \u00a0After reaching the Castle, our heroes are confronted with Himmler\u2019s SS Paranormal Division and must fight, not only for their survival, but for a mission that could alter the course of the War.”<\/p>\n

Hadida is confident going ahead with the project with Avary at his side. \u201cWith Roger at the helm, we expect everyone will join us for a wild and fun cinematic ride that will grab contemporary film audiences with the same irreverent, hip, over the top approach that Roger brought to Pulp Fiction and the other films he has either written or directed,” said Hadida.<\/p>\n

Avary also expressed his interest in the brand and franchise of Wolfenstein. \u201cI\u2019ve been playing the\u00a0Wolfenstein games since I was a kid, and feel that their outlandish sensibility has deeply influenced my own writing and directing throughout my career.\u00a0 I have always thought Wolfenstein, transformed and opened for the screen to wider audiences not familiar with the games, would be a major cinematic experience, which is why I introduced it to Samuel [Hadida].\u00a0 He bought the rights, and I could not be happier that we are now embarking on this adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n
