While it’s almost a decade too late to capitalize onEverquest’sdopamine-fuelled popularity, news just came in viaAICNthat the movie based on the game based on dozens of movies based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkienhas picked up a writer.
Michael Gordon — best known for the script for the innacurate history lesson turned comic book turned movie300— has been hired to write an adaptation for the film, which considering just how little the game has in the way of plot should be the literary equivalent of etchingThe Old Man And The Seain a block of granite with his penis. Avi Arad, former head of Marvel Studios, has also signed on to produce the flick, though that really only reveals that we can expect a cameo fromVinnie Jones in a role to be determined almost entirely by Internet memes.
