Duke Nukem Movie Planned

by Blake Ellison, Sep 08, 2008 8:22pm PDT

Scott Faye, producer of the upcoming Max Payne film adaptation, is working on a Duke Nukem movie with Scott Miller, CEO of game series creator 3D Realms.

"As is the case with all of my game adaptations, I'd rather not make the movie than make a poor adaptation," Faye told Kotaku.

He added, "I'm working at establishing a Duke film scenario that will compel a studio to finance a feature version. Certainly, there's a large audience that knows and loves this character."

According to the report, Miller's Radar Group will be involved in every step of the film's production. "Why go out of your way to acquire an [intellectual property] if you're not going to use as much of it as you can in the adaptation process?" Faye asked.

Details on the film were scant, but Faye promised to stay faithful to the series: "We're expanding Duke's 'storyverse' in a very significant major way without abandoning or negating any element that's being used to introduce Duke to the next gen platforms."

Faye also told Kotaku about Max Payne star Mark Wahlberg's interest in making a sequel as well as his method for video game adaptation, saying, "If I'm going to play a videogame based on a feature film, the last thing I want to do is play through the film narrative."

The Shacknews editorial staff humbly reminds readers that a Duke Nukem film is actually old news.

I hope it's going to be better than the ULTRA-SHITTY-POS-CRAPTASTIC Doom movie...

...though one can argue that after such a piece of shit game (Doom3) a similar movie made a lot of sense.;)

The only way for this to work out is to make it in the style of something like Big Trouble in Little China. It has to be over the top, hilarious, and full of clever writing. They just don't make movies like that anymore, they go full out action rather than having funny dialog as well.

I just don't know if this can be done without fucking it up. It it's done Michael Bay style, it will suck. There has to be good and funny dialog.
