CBS Films picks up rights to make movie based on 2011 game Human Revolution; The Departed and Hitman producers on board.

Square Enix's action franchise Deus Ex is heading to Hollywood. GameSpot parent company business unit CBS Films announced today that it has secured the rights to make a movie based on 2011's well-received Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

The untitled Deus Ex film will be produced by Roy Lee (The Departed, The Ring) and Andrian Askarieh (Hitman). John P. Middleton, who is working on a number of upcoming films, including supernatural horror movie 7500, will serve as executive producer.

CBS Films is also working with Square Enix and developer Eidos Montreal on the project.

"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," said CBS Films co-president Terry Press.

A director for the Deus Ex movie was not announced, nor were any cast members.

Every PC game turning into a motion-picture movie winded up to be an epic failure of ratings except Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy. As for this movie, it's a tough one, but however there is one director who should NEVER direct this movie, and that is Uwe Boll.

I shall give my prediction...

...

... if it's going to turn out good, it will be cancelled before release. If not, it will be rubbish.

The movies pretty much suck after the first though.

Uwe Boll got banished by Hollywood already so no chance he'll be directing it. Games to movies always suffer trying to copy one of the original story lines and adapting to live action which is very hard to do. You have to base the story around on the franchise and how it started and craft for a live action setting without copying what works in video games today.

Man, this is gonna suck. I hope I'm wrong but I doubt it. And because I'm a sucker I'll go see it either way :/

Well several months later, more updates for the Deus Ex movie and it's not great as I expected:

I'm... OK with this approach. It seems closer to the first game, actually.
