It seems that Jerry Bruckheimer has hired J. Michael Straczynski to adapt "Shattered Union" into a Disney movie.
According to "Variety", in the computer game the states secede from the U.S.A. and form their own governments that wage a civil war against each other after Washington D.C. is wiped out in a nuclear blast and chaos ravages the nation. Players control one of the warring group of states ( the California Commonwealth, Republic of Texas and New England Alliance are some of them ) or a European peacekeeping unit sent to reunify America.
Sounds interesting enough to me. Instead of going around the world and breaking and destroying other countries, it would be nice to see U.S.A. experiencing the taste of its own medicine. On the big screen, of course :)
I suppose Bruckheimer is thinking if he picks up a game nobody played there will be no expectations to live up and he may be able to pull of a decent summer blockbuster. Then again it's Buckheimer so he'll just want to blow stuff up.
ReplyDeleteAnd he might call Roland Emmerich to do the job instead of him, since they both share their love towards destruction and demolition :)
ReplyDeletethe concept and idea was good, I think this'll be an interesting movie...
ReplyDeleteLet us hope so, Jaccsy :)
