A report on Joystiq says a MechWarrior movie is "in development" at Michael Eisner's The Tornante Company, quoting that "source" guy who is responsible for so many rumors. They explain how the former Disney boss' new company got the rights to do this by acquiring Topps, who had previously acquired WizKids, who owned FASA. You may recall back in 2003 that there was news of preliminary plans for a MechWarrior movie involving Dean Devlin and creative input from Jordan Weisman, but presumably those plans died on the vine at some point.
