Duke Nukem Movie in the works

Posted on Tuesday, September 09 2008 @ 22:42 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
Scott Faye, the producer of the upcoming Max Payne film, is working together with 3D Realms CEO Scott Miller on a film adaption of Duke Nukem:
"As is the case with all of my game adaptations, I'd rather not make the movie than make a poor adaptation," Faye told Kotaku. He added, "I'm working at establishing a Duke film scenario that will compel a studio to finance a feature version. Certainly, there's a large audience that knows and loves this character."

According to the report, Miller's Radar Group will be involved in every step of the film's production. "Why go out of your way to acquire an [intellectual property] if you're not going to use as much of it as you can in the adaptation process?" Faye asked.

Details on the film were scant, but Faye promised to stay faithful to the series: "We're expanding Duke's 'storyverse' in a very significant major way without abandoning or negating any element that's being used to introduce Duke to the next gen platforms."
What do you think will come first? Duke Nukem Forever or Duke Nukem: The Movie?
