…In your heart, you know I’m right: “The hit video game Helldivers 2 is getting the feature film treatment! Sony Pictures announced the project during their CES 2025 press conference.” It’s going to be very exciting, really. My eldest loves Helldivers 2, and hasn’t really experienced yet the special pain that comes when a movie studio takes one of your favorite video games, and drops it feet-first into a wood chipper. The life lesson will be good for his development, really.

Is it going to be directed by Uwe Boll or Paul Verhoeven?
Making the first movie out of a sequel is…bold.
I’ll not saying it couldn’t be done well.
I’m just saying it won’t be.
From what I understand, HD2 has a good bit of lore, and you could totally do a movie about the battle of whatever creek.
But we all know that’s not going to happen.
Eh. I get my horde mode fix from Deep Rock Galactic, but I feel sorry for the gamers about to be pissed on.
They’re going to do Horizon Zero Dawn too. I want to have some kind of unreasonable hope that they will do it justice. I really, really want to. But I don’t.
