Deus Ex Movie in the Works

CBS Films is working on an adaptation of sequel Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Hot-on-the-heels of news that Michael Fassbender is working on an Assassin’s Creed movie comes another high-profile game-to-film adaptation in the shape of Deus Ex.

CBS Films has announced plans to adapt recent sequel Deus Ex: Human Revolution, a strategic sci-fi action-adventure which is set in 2027, when multinational corporations have grown beyond the control of national governments.

The film will closely follow the game's plot, revolving around "an ex-SWAT security specialist who must learn to embrace the high-tech prostheses that replace much of his body in order to unravel a global conspiracy that involves an attack on a biotechnology firm tied to developing human enhancements.”

Adrian Askarieh and Roy Lee will produce, and plan to work closely with developer Eidos-Montreal to get the adaptation right.

"As is clear from the wild success of the game, Square Enix and Eidos-Montreal know how to exceed their audience's expectations by engineering incredible worlds," said Terry Press, co-president of CBS Films. "No one knows 'Human Revolution' like the team that created it, and we look forward to working with them from day one to make a film adaptation worthy of the 'Deus Ex' name."

And this won’t be the only game-to-film adaptation that Askarieh is working on, with the producer also overseeing a Hitman sequel as well as Just Cause and Kane and Lynch movies.

Well my favourite for Adam Jensen would be Timothy Olyphant.

This will be awesome!! Video game films are always great. We have classics like Super Mario Bros. (how did that not get an Oscar?), Street Fighter, and the outstanding Mortal Kombat Annihilation...

Lol in all seriousness this will probably be very very bad. I'll bet they'll cast Will Ferrel as Adam Jensen and turn it into a delightful cyberpunk comedy.

I'll bet that whatever they actually do will make us wish they'd done this instead.



They will cast Kate Beckinsale and will have the camera super zoomed into her crotch the whole time, No one will even notice how crappy the movie is.



Could actually be really good, spose it could have a minority report style with tech and gadgets etc.

As always: Potential to be really, really good, but will most likely stay in limbo as other big-name game movies.

No, not Olyphant for Jensen. He already plays Hitman. I dunno who could though...Christian Bale?


I know Batman would be perfect but he is too big for roles like this. And Timothy Olyphant was a bad choice for Hitman but would be the best "available" choice

Big as in too tall or too muscular? If muscular, he can easily lose that, as is evident by his massive loss for The Machinist and again for The Fighter. Adam Jensen is pretty tall though, isn't he?


That is not what I meant. I think he has the perfect body to play Jensen what I meant is his name. He is Batman and an Acamedy Award winner, I don´t think this movie will have enough budget to pay him. And btw. he has already played a role a bit like this in Equilibrium.

No one will notice it! they'll think Augments is the name of some spandex brand.
