Deus Ex is the latest videogame franchise to fall victim to a Hollywood movie adaptation, with Square Enix and CBS Films announcing it will be adapted into a film.
CBS Films says it will be based on or around the events of Human Revolution, and that it will actually involve Eidos in the production:
“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.
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.”
Roy Lee, producer of such masterpieces as “Lego: The Piece of Resistance,” and Adrian Askarieh, producer of the almost equally esteemed “Kane and Lynch” movie, have been announced as the producers of what is sure to be an exciting tour de force which be widely appreciated by fans of the game whilst making it more accessible to a mainstream audience.
The production schedule has so far not been made public.
Square Enix is gushing forth enthusiasm in spite of the universally dire history of Hollywood’s videogame adapted movies:
“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.
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 bigscreen.”

Jason statham as jason namir and I'll watch it no matter how crap it is.
But it will probably be Keanu Reeves.
keanu stands a better chance of being adam jensen I'd say if the casting director actually played the game.
Statham is too short and muscular.
Reeves looks too kind. We need someone badass.
we could always get Troll Cruise to do it.
Keanu Reeves was suppost to play Spike off cowboy bebop.
What's funny is if you see his Bill and Ted hair, it works visually. He just needs to get that look back, but have his 'Neo' face. That may work.
I'm more for obscure actors. Watching a 34534634th movie with same actors cast over and over...
Go die in the hole you dug for yourselves, Square Enix.
Choosing this game over KH3, they should.
as "good" as square is at "engineering incredible worlds," they better find a better script writer. because that's what killed their last 2 movies.
Just remember, Square, fancy graphics can come AFTER you work out all the other problems.
I never asked for this.
First movie ever to be shot entirely through a yellow filter?
That would be too true to the game for a movie, they will use a blue or green filter.
Actually that would be Avalon (2001)
Don't be ridiculous. They will add all the yellow in post-processing.
fuck for a second i thought it would be an animated movie ... not this hollywood shit again
Here is the thing that should give everyone who has ever been disappointed by a horrible video game based movie hope: Ewe Boll is not involved.
If he was, at least it might be so bad that it's funny.
brings Postal to mind...
Most funny part: he's actually Dr. Uwe Boll. He holds a PhD in Literature.
Liberal arts major. Enough said.
I never asked for this
What a shame..
OH MY GOD JC, A BOMB!!
I chose the nano cloud ending. Who knew it would take so little effort to bring about world peace, an end to world hunger, and love to all mankind?
your a fucking retard i chose to be crushed by water :P figured he would be able to breath underwater.
Yeah, RIP.
.. it was a good game. What a rotten way to ruin the franchise
None of us did...but we did nothing to stop it...
Yes we did, we avoided seeing many movie adaptations. Its our only way to send a message to these idiots.
you might not watch them, but someone did, that's what messes up our hard work of not watching them.
Blame the Germans and Uwe Boll movies... they're the retards who keep watching his shit.
I'll admit I'm an optimist though. Deus Ex at the very least has strong potential to be a good movie. Unfortunately it'll only work if it manages to feel like the atmosphere of Minority Report or something like that.
i saw the picture and assumed it was going to be an anime film... i see the error of my ways now...
No one in germany is fucking watching uwe boll hes not even popular here lol so dont talk out crap
I'm Flagging CBS as KOS to all lovers of the Deus Ex world.
Look at what the fuck they did to Dragon Ball. They turned a legend into something that needs to be taken behind a shed and put out of its misery.

A good chunk of the sales and box office for Uwe Boll's movies were in Germany that made them at all successful. So something about them is resonating with them. If they weren't making sales they wouldn't be made, it's as simple as that. Someone keeps giving that cocksucker money, and from what I've read, it's the German audience.
Kind of have to agree HouseLife, this game does have some potential to make a good movie, say unlike Mario Brothers or Dead or Alive.
Yeah, no one in Germany who isn't a geek does even know about Uwe Boll, and those who know him hate him usually.
@ House
I am German and I find this offensive D:
The German dude (who hates Uwe Boll movies)
I'm offensive and find this German.
And you can't do anything to stop it, how sad.
NO ONE CARES DICK SHIT!
lol wut?
hollywood producers did
Deus Ex HR could be a good movie if the plot is close enough to the game and the main actor i well chosen, there is some actors that could fit Jensen's role, if only they took their time to make it good, not over-abusing cg's, i'd love to seen the movie!
Complete CG would be awesome. I've always wanted movies just like the cinematic sequences in the games.
Look at the trailer and imagine a full length movie in that fashion. Way too awesome.
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within?
lol, that one was utter trash.
Good cinematic, not-so-good plot.
Watching a CG version would be the same as watching a gameplay. I don't see why ppl would pay for this.
