‘Deus Ex: Human Revolution’ Movie Coming From ‘Sinister’s Scott Derrickson

This is some freaking exciting news.

One of my favourite games last year was Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Square-Enix developed an insanely awesome FPS-RPG that turned out to be one of the best shooters in recent memory. It also made me completely forget the mediocre mess that was Deus Ex: Invisible War.

CBS Films announced today that they’re developing a movie based on Human Revolution. Scott Derrickson (Sinister, The Exorcism of Emily Rose) will write and direct the film, with Roy Lee, Adrian Askarieh, and John P. Middleton producing. While the Deus Ex: Human Revolution is the third game in the series, the title will serve as the template for this first movie. The game won over 100 industry awards last year, so let’s hope the film doesn’t follow the typical video game movie trend.

What do you think of the news? Excited? Who would you like to see in the role of Adam?
