'Console Wars' movie will tell the story of Sega vs Nintendo
Sony Pictures has bought the rights to Console Wars, a book that chronicles Sega's attempt at going head-to-head against Nintendo during the 90s. The upcoming book includes testimonies from hundreds of people who witnessed many behind-the-scenes battles between the two companies during that time.
According to Book Trade (via Eurogamer), Seth Rogen is already attached to the film as co-director and co-writer. Long-time collaborator Evan Goldberg will also be involved.
Described as a "business thriller," it's likely Sony is attempting to replicate the success of another one of its most popular films, The Social Network, which went into the behind-the-scenes creation of Facebook.

This sounds pretty great. Two Japanese game companies doing battle for the hearts and minds of Americans. So much comedy potential.
Anybody read the book? -

Have you seen The Social Network? That is more like a business thriller. Most of the "thrills" come from somebody about to make or lose a lot of money. So there's plenty of room for comedy in this thing.
