According to the announcement, the upcoming film will be produced by working closely with the developers at Eidos Montreal who created the game. This should insure that the movie is close enough to the videogame to satisfy fans, and it will make many references to the game that fans will appreciate.
Here's the awesome, insane Dues Ex: Human Revolution trailer for the videogame the movie will apparently be based on.
Terry Press, co-president of CBS Films, said: "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. 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."
Square Enix Europe CEO Phil Rogers added: "As the millions of fans who have played the 'Deus Ex' games for more than a decade will tell you, these games catapult you into a universe that is stimulating, engaging and relevant. We're firm believers in building strong partnerships, and so we're thrilled to be working with CBS Films on bringing the unique 'Deus Ex' experience to the big screen."
Deus Ex: Human Revolution the videogame was released last year to much critical acclaim and high praise, selling over 2.5 million copies and finally rebooting the series after many years of lying dormant. And it marked another huge boon for Square Enix as a Japanese publisher, by leveraging their purchase of Eidos properties and updating them in great fashion in order to further target the West with Western games and properties. Many say the purchase of Eidos was one of the smartest moves Square ever made.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution was released on Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Mac, and OnLive in August 2011.
