Thief Film Plans Revived

A movie adaptation of Thief is back in the works, as Variety reports that Straight Up Films now has the rights to a film based on the stealthy series pioneered by Looking Glass Studios (thanks Dark Horizons via nin). The article completely botches the game's pedigree, so maybe we shouldn't trust their word on the rest of this, but here's how they outline the qualifications of those involved:

Straight Up principals Marisa Polvino and Kate Cohen will also produce. Straight Up president of production Sandra Condito will serve as executive producer along with Khalid Jones of Source Rock and Square Enix.

Adam Mason and Simon Boyes (“Misconduct”) will write the screenplay.

“Thief” was developed by Eidos-Montréal and published by Tokyo-based Square Enix with three sequels over 18 years. The game is set in a dark fantasy world ruled by a tyrant who exploits dark magic as a means of establishing control.

“This popular game is entirely unique within the genre, which is why we’re particularly excited to be working with these canny, dedicated filmmakers to bring it to the screen,” said Polvino and Cohen.

Straight Up Films co-produced the Johnny Depp sci-fier “Transcendence” for Warner Bros.
