Panorama Media and Samuel Hadida released news announcing the production of Castle Wolfenstein<\/em>, a big screen action-adventure film inspired by the vintage paranormal game franchise, to be written and directed by Academy Award winner Roger Avary (Pulp Fiction, Silent Hill<\/em>).<\/p>\n Wolfenstein<\/em> is described as being in the vein of Captain America<\/em> and Inglorious Basterds<\/em>, although it sounds more like Iron Sky<\/em> meets Hellboy<\/em>.\u00a0 The story follows a young U.S. Army Captain and a British Special Agent on a top secret mission to Castle Wolfenstein, where Hitler will be for the historic unveiling of a new secret weapon. After reaching the castle, our heroes are confronted with Himmler’s SS Paranormal Division and must fight, not only for their survival, but for a mission that could alter the course of the War.<\/p>\n That’s some insane retro-world fun with lots of tight leather and Hitlerian lunacy!<\/p>\n First developed in 1981 for the Apple II computer by Muse Software’s Silas Warner, the supernatural Nazi-fest, first-person shooter has enjoyed a healthy renaissance over the last twenty years. Hardcore gamers will recall Wolfenstein 3D<\/em> and its prequel, Spear Of Destiny<\/em> from the early 90s and Activision’s Return To Castle Wolfenstein<\/em> in 2001 and Wolfenstein<\/em> in 2009.<\/p>\n Here’s Avary’s comment on the gig:<\/p>\n “I’ve been playing the Wolfenstein<\/em> games since I was a kid, and feel that their outlandish sensibility has deeply influenced my own writing and directing throughout my career.\u00a0 I have always thought Wolfenstein<\/em>, transformed and opened for the screen to wider audiences not familiar with the games, would be a major cinematic experience, which is why I introduced it to Samuel.\u00a0 He bought the rights, and I could not be happier that we are now embarking on this adventure.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Sound like a winning combination or just more pilfering of weak old gaming titles?<\/p>\n
