Deus Ex: Human Defiance Likely a Film Title

[Mar 01, 2013, 8:28 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A tweet by supererogatory deflates hopes that the recently discovered Trademark for Deus Ex: Human Defiance signifies a new installment in the action/RPG series by pointing the way to a domain registration for DeusEx-HumanDefiance.com (or as they humorously parse it, DeuSex-HumanDefiance.com) and another for DeusExhumanDefianceFilm.com, each of which is registered to CBS Films. These seem to be a pretty strong indication this all relates to the upcoming Deus Ex film rather than a game.

The director/producer(s) already said that they are not making a 'deus ex' movie, but instead a 'cyberpunk' movie [named after deus ex]. To which I'd love to reply to them : 'Then don't call it deus ex' if it's not deus ex. -scheherazade

Don't be so down, guys. It could be every bit as good as the first Mortal Kombat.

Mortal Kombat is easy to do right though. (Which is why the latter movies sucking was such a shocker.) Deus Ex isn't the pinnacle of writing, it's a bit hamfisted, especially the first one with the polisci copypasta, but it's nuanced and makes an interesting whole. It'd be hard to take Deus Ex and distill it to feature film length while keeping "the magic".

A lot of what makes Deus Ex is the details. The newspapers/datapads laying around, the random comments from the random passers-by. This is stuff that doesn't translate into a screenplay well, or even at all.




If you don't like where gaming is heading, stop giving your money to the people who are taking it in that direction.

That's what HR was. And if it's as good as HR, I'm totally fine with it.

It's a shame that they ruined the sequel by recasting Rayden. But they killed Johnny Cage right away so it sort of balances out.

A really excellent film could be made out of Deus Ex. It wont be, but it could.

Wash Washburne

Lets see, cast Daniel Day Lewis as Adam, hire David Webb Peoples to write a screenplay for it, convince one of these guys to direct it: Ridley Scott, Christopher Nolan, Terry Gilliam, JJ Abrams (pipe dream since he's doing Star Wars and Valve films), get Vangelis to add some original music to the project and we will have a good sci-fi film for our eyes to feast upon.

I never asked for this.

ditto.

It only gets worse when they say "we are huge fans of the game!" ( human revolution ) and they will "be faithful to what the fans always wanted" ( human revolution )

I think the first game back in the day had Sorkin writing quality. Interesting factoids and real world conspiracy lore everywhere packed into one beautiful ball of smoothly lit unrealy 1 FPS RPG goodness.

By the time your going through the DuClare you have to stop for a moment and realize your brain has been jizzing all over the place.

Want to ruin a game franchise? Have Hollywood try to make a movie out of it. This better not see the light of day.
