Scott Derrickson to write and direct adaptation
The film adaptation ofDeus Ex: Human Revolutionwill be directed by Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism of Emily Rose), CBS Films announced today. He’ll also be writing the screenplay alongside C. Robert Cargill, who he worked with previously onSinister.
“By combining amazing action and tension with big, philosophical ideas,Deus Exis smart, ballsy, and will make one hell of a movie,” said Derrickson. “Cargill and I can’t wait to bring it to the big screen.”
Horror isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when I think ofDeus Ex, but there’s a lot to work with given the source material — here’s hoping we end up with a halfway decent movie. Between this news and the “Terminator”prosthetic arm videothat recently made the rounds, I’ve been thinking way too much about our cybernetic future lately.
