Der er en Thief-film på vej

Straight Up Films har købt rettighederne til en film baseret på Thief-serien fra Square Enix.

Serien blev genoplivet i 2014, da Eidos Montreal udgav Thief, der endnu en gang følger mestertyven Garrett.

"We have always been passionate about telling stories and bringing them to different mediums. With the intricate world of THIEF being made into a feature film, a larger audience will be able to dive into this universe," siger Eidos Montréal-chefen David Anfossi i en pressemeddelelse.

Der er allerede en del navne klistret på produktionen, og de fremgår alle her:

Straight Up Films will produce the feature adaptation with Roy Lee and Adrian Askarieh. The company's President of Production, Sandra Condito, will serve as executive producer, along with Khalid Jones of Source Rock and Square Enix's subsidiary, Eidos-Montréal. Feature film writing duo Adam Mason and Simon Boyes (Misconduct, Hangman, Not Safe for Work) will write the screenplay. Lee, who will produce under his Vertigo Entertainment shingle, was a producer on the How to Train Your Dragon franchise, and is currently developing sequels to 2014's critically acclaimed box office hit The Lego Movie. Askarieh's film credits include 2007's Hitman™, starring Timothy Olyphant and Olga Kurylenko, and its sequel Hitman: Agent 47®. He will produce the movie under his Prime Universe production banner.
