According to āa trusted sourceā speaking with Joystiq, the production company run by former Disney boss Michael Eisner is looking at putting together a Mechwarrior movie. Which is a terrible idea.
Not because I hate Mechwarrior; far from it, I adore Battletech. Itās just, giant robot fighting on the big screen has already been perfected in 1990ās Robot Jox, and Iād hate to see some people blow a few million dollars in a futile attempt to better it.
The source also reports that a screenplay is being written by Michael Gordon (300, GI Joe), and that the project is currently āin developmentā.
