“Deus Ex Movie Looks To Follow Human Revolution’s Footsteps”

Deus Ex was a dead game franchise for all intents and purposes. It was a highly popular video game that hadn’t seen a sequel in years, so consumer support for the franchise began to falter. This takes nothing away from a game that sold over a million copies and was named the greatest PC game of all time by PC Gamer in 2011.

Then came the release of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and this game completely reinvigorated the entire franchise. The plot of the game follows the story of augmented humans living in a divided society.

Out doing press for the release of “Agent 47”, the film’s producer Askarieh had a sit down with Screen Rant to talk about the release of the “Hitman” sequel, and gave a little bit of information on the “Deus Ex” movie that has been in pre-production for some time. Askarieh says he has been working really closely with Square Enix and Eidos Montreal on the film, and that fans should hear a big announcement about the film really soon.

The film is no longer going to be affiliated with CBS Films, a new home will be announced shortly. It appears that the budget of the film may be the reason for this move, But CBS Films may remain with the project in some capacity. Askarieh says that the film will be based on the same concepts that we saw in Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The film will not be a direct copy of the game, but it will follow the story in some capacity. It seems as thought the story of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will be the basis for a sequel, should it happen.
