This film will be based on the hit video game of the same name. The film was written by Roy Horne (Kite, Flash Gordon) who hopes to turn the world of the game, set 4000 years before the timeline of the previous films, into two or three films. Robert Pattinson (The Raven, Easy Money), Hailee Steinfeld (Huntress, Be More Chill) and Dominic Cooper (Strangers Friends, Bunny Lake is Missing) have all signed onto the project.
