As a movie reviewer with a penchant for action-packed tales and a soft spot for video game adaptations, I must say that the acquisition of “Ruiner” by Universal Pictures is music to my ears! With Wes Ball at the helm, fresh off the success of “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” and Michael Arlen Ross penning the screenplay following his work on “Locked,” this film promises a thrilling ride.
Universal Studios has obtained the license to transform the popular video game “Ruiner,” created by Reikon, into a film. The renowned director, Wes Ball, who previously worked on “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” and the “Maze Runner” series, will oversee this project.
Michael Arlen Ross (“Locked”) is set to rework the movie’s script based on the production by 87North, Story Kitchen, and Oddball.
In the realm of gaming, I’ve found myself captivated by “Ruiner,” an action-packed shooter with over 4 million players on Steam and a staggering 90% positive feedback. This game is set in the year 2091, in the cyber metropolis Rengkok – a city that pulses with neon lights and cutting-edge technology. As the official synopsis goes, I’m a wired psychopath on a mission to take down a corrupt system, uncovering the truth about my kidnapped brother along the way. Guided by a mysterious hacker, I navigate through a world that’s as brutal as it is technologically advanced, edging ever closer to the shadowy secrets hidden within Rengkok’s vibrant streets.
Kelly McCormick and David Leitch (known for “The Fall Guy”, “Bullet Train” and “Nobody”) are set to produce a project under 87North’s first-look agreement with Universal Pictures. The team behind “Tomb Raider” (produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Netflix, as well as Paramount’s “Sonic the Hedgehog”) – Dmitri M. Johnson and Mike Goldberg from Story Kitchen, along with Timothy I. Stevenson and Dan Jevons, will also produce. Oddball’s Ball and Joe Hartwick Jr. will be producers too. Reikon’s Marek Roefler, Magdalena Tomkowicz, and Jakub Stylinski will executive produce for this project.
The upcoming video game adaptation titled “Ruiner” has been a hit for Universal Studios in 2023, following the successes of “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” and “Five Nights at Freddy’s.” These two productions earned an impressive $1.4B and $290M respectively at worldwide box offices. Ryan Jones, senior VP of production development, and Jacqueline Garell, creative executive of production development, will be managing the project for the studio.
In the realm of video game adaptations, the filmmaker isn’t a newcomer. This creative individual is currently basking in the success of “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” which has amassed over $397 million worldwide at the box office. Furthermore, they are also working on a live-action version of the beloved game “The Legend of Zelda.”
Ball and Hartwick are managed by Jeff Gorin and Phil d’Amecourt at William Morris Endeavor (WME), as well as Rick Genow at Goodman Genow Schenkman Smelkinson + Christopher, LLP. On the other hand, 87North is represented by Creative Artists Agency (CAA), Jackoway Tyerman Wertheimer Austen Mandelbaum Morris & Klein (JSSK), and 42West. Lastly, Story Kitchen is handled by William Morris Endeavor (WME), Pryor Cashman & TriplePoint PR.
Ross, the creative mind behind the upcoming action thriller “Locked,” directed by David Yarovesky and produced by Sam Raimi, is associated with Entertainment 360 and Lichter Grossman Nichols Feldman Rogal Shikora & Clark for representation.
