Metro 2033 is getting adapted into a movie, it looks like.
The game features a bleak, post-apocalyptic Moscow. The game itself, though, isnāt technically getting the adaptation. The book it was based onāalso called Metro 2033āis.
The Hollywood Reporter reports that the movie will be produced by Mark Johnson, who worked on Galaxy Quest and the Chronicles of Narnia films. The film will be written by F. Scott Frazier, who doesnāt have that many writing credits to his name just yet.
The sequel to Metro 2033 the game, Metro: Last Light, is due in 2013. No word if the film and games will attempt to tie in to each other, but Iām going to just go ahead and assume and hope not.
