Devlin leads 'Mech' into movie battle on the Hollywood Reporter (thanks Shacknews) says: "Dean Devlin will produce a movie based on the best-selling 'Mech Warrior' video games." The article quotes Devlin, producer of Eight Legged Freaks, as saying he'd like to get the movie into theaters within 24 months. Word is: "Jordan Weisman, who created 'Mech Warrior' 20 years ago, will play a creative role in making the film," and the article quotes Weisman as saying "The film is in many ways a coming-of-age story. It's set 40 years after the Mech Wars have ended and introduces a group of young heroes in their late teens and early 20s that have grown up in peaceful and prosperous times."
