Brothers In Arms movie in "talks"

You've played the game, read the book, now watch the film? If you're a Brothers In Arms fan, the bloody adventures of Matt Baker and the 101st Airborne could be coming to a cinema near you, with the series' military expert revealing that talks are already underway on a Hell's Highway flick.

Fresh from barking orders at a baffled audience during the Ubidays press conference on Wednesday evening, the irrepressible Colonel John Antal spent the next day pimping his new novel and history book to us, both of which tie in with Gearbox's forthcoming WWII shooter.

The third game in the series deals with Operation Market Garden, which saw the Allies attempting to seize a bridge in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands in late 1944, and end the war early. According to Antal, the operation lasted 10 days, but the game only depicts eight of these.

#1 Posted by Oxuyoska on 30 May 2008 - 13:11: Get Steven Spielberg to direct it in the same way he did Saving Private Ryan and the movie will be worth watching.

#2 Posted by +Coldgunner on 30 May 2008 - 16:48: Indeed, the subject matter is strong enough, especially if they filmed stuff like coles charge!

it just needs a good director, a gritty feel and no hollywood crap!

#3 Posted by Galley on 30 May 2008 - 18:55: I'd rather see a film based on the Dire Straits song.

#4 Posted by toadeater on 30 May 2008 - 21:00: The Postal movie is 10x better than this.

#5 Posted by darkthunder on 01 Jun 2008 - 03:00: Hell yeah, get Uwe Boll to direct this and the movie will be pure awesomeness

/sarcasm mode off: If Uwe Boll gets his hands on this project, it will end up just as much crap as all his previous movies. Spielberg should definitely direct it. Critics would probably compare it to Saving Private Ryan, but who cares? Brothers in Arms would still be an awesome movie. Love to see Tom Hanks in a role somewhere

#6 Posted by H82LUZ on 03 Jun 2008 - 08:40: Steven Spielberg he has my vote ,He also did Band Of Brother`s with Tom Hanks.
