While its status as a video game license is murky to say the least, Duke Nukem is being adapted into a film by Legendary Entertainment, a film production company like dune and Godzilla vs King KongWith Gearbox’s approval, happy licensees Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg are set to make the film knowing that we’re here to talk about a trio that has made it through modern franchises Karate Kid with the popular series Cobra Kay. The former boss of Ubisoft Studios, where he made the film especially Assassin’s CreedJean-Julien Baronnet will also be present.
However, the team isn’t done yet, one screenwriter was specifically asked at the reception to figure out what to do with this 1991-born license, and we think their differences will be handled with some caution in the current climate. More sensitive than ever to the treatment of women.
Regardless, this isn’t the first time Gearbox has attempted to bring Duke into a dark room. In particular, there was talk of a deal with Paramount where wrestler John Cena would lend his muscles to these ladies’ heroes.As a reminder, Gearbox is also overseeing a movie Borderlands at Lionsgate. Directed by Eli Roth, it features Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis and Jack Black, among others.
