Condemned Film Guaranteed "Unforgettable"

11
New details have surfaced on the film inspired by Monolith's creepy-as-all-hell first person shooter Condemned: Criminal Origins (PC, X360).

Titled The Unforgettable, the movie, much like the game it is based on, will tell the tale of a grisly murder investigation. However, as the lead detective on the case is said to discover he's not human and stumble across warring extraterrestrial factions, it remains uncertain just how much more of the game's narrative will carry over.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project, at one point known as Species X, was written by The Shield veteran Kurt Sutter and will be helmed by Cell director Tarsem Singh. Monolith co-founder Jason Hall, who recently formed the HDFilms production company, will produce, alongside David Goyer and Basil Iwanyk.

There is no word yet on a possible film adaptation of the upcoming Condemned 2: Bloodshot (preview), though early reports suggest Monolith's PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 effort could revolutionize the sagging hobo-murdering musical market.

    One of the best 360 games so far. Such an underrated game. I hope the movie has a more sensible ending though.

    also: Extraterrestrial?]0 What?

      well... someone thought it was a brilliant idea to remove the entire premise of Hell from Doom and look at the shit that movie became.

      If they mean little green men extra-terrestial then blah... this movie is going down the same path as most other game IP's. If they just mean ET as in not of this earth, but paranormal and more psychosis involved, then we could still have some success here.

      What didn't you like about the ending? That game was a blast to play through, I hope that the new improvements don't detract from the new title.

        The ending was just vague about what actually happened.

        Mainly to the protagonist. Did he die? Was he just infected with the crazy shit? Was it just a preview to What Might Come Next? It was just very very vague.
