Variety has confirmed that a film adaptation of Lost Planet is indeed in the works via Warner Bros. The script will be penned by X-Men and Watchmen scribe David Hayter, also known as the voice of Solid Snake. WB and Capcom are co-financing the film, with Warner Bros. having worldwide distribution rights.
No details on the plot, but we've submitted our proposal for the film, which would feature LP main character Wayne Holden sneaking through a secret military compound on a remote island. It would be, dare we say, awesome?

I have a feeling this movie will depend heavily on how high the budget is as opposed to anything David hayter can write for it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he's the right guy for the job but this is most likely gonna be all about the effects than narrative.

To make sure it meets the high standards so many previous ports have established, they'll make sure to hire Karl Urban and/or remove the most popular weapons from being used significantly.

Wow just when you think that movie adaptations of games are no longer seen as viable something like this happens.

Hey, if we all don't get in line for this movie now, we can recreate the exact same scenario that will happen when it's released.
