Arrowhead trusts the newly-announced Helldivers movie director, and has shut down any feedback suggesting the director ought to at the least strive the sport earlier than taking up the variation.
Earlier this week, it was introduced that Quick & Livid’ Justin Lin could be taking the director reins for Sony’s upcoming Helldivers adaptation, which will probably be primarily based on Arrowhead’s recreation. On this announcement, it was revealed that Lin will not be a gamer himself, and truly used this to his benefit when pitching his take for the movie.
Nevertheless, whereas this transfer was clearly sufficient to win over these throughout the movie enterprise, it prompted a little bit of scepticism with some over on the sport’s Discord server. The truth is, one person tagged Arrowhead’s studio head Shams Jorjani asking if they might direct the variation as a substitute.
For sure, Jorjani didn’t take the person up on the provide, and as a substitute confirmed his help for Lin’s work. “Let Justin Lin work his magic,” Jorjani replied.
In an additional alternate, one other member of the Helldivers 2 Discord requested the Arrowhead exec to make sure Lin “performs the sport at the least as soon as” or checks out some gameplay footage. Once more, Jorjani affirmed that Lin is the proper individual for the job.
“I belief Justin,” the Helldivers 2 CEO stated, including: “He did an incredible job on the Star Trek film.”
The Helldivers movie was initially introduced again in January, together with a Horizon Zero Daybreak adaptation. Quickly after it was introduced, Arrowhead’s Johan Pilestedt confirmed the developer will probably be concerned with the upcoming movie, however in a considerably restricted capability.
Within the meantime whereas we watch for Sony’s Helldivers movie, there’s a fan made launch accessible to look at now. Created by volunteers at YouTube channel Plot Coalition, the movie is nearly an hour in size, making it longer than some other Helldivers fan undertaking made to this point.
