Duke Nukem - The Movie
 

September 8, 2008


Max Payne producer Scott Faye has revealed to kotaku.com that he is planning to bring another maverick video game star to the big screen: Duke Nukem.

Faye is collaborating with publisher 3D Relms' Scott Miller on the project, and said: "I'm working diligently at making a Duke Nukem movie scenario that will live up to the character and its import in the videogame world... as is the case with all of my game adaptations, I'd rather not make the movie than make a poor adaptation."

The gun-toting, bleach-blonde antihero has been causing carnage on a variety of gaming platforms since his 2D, PC debut back in 1991, with two next gen console offerings in now the making, as well as the long-delayed PC update Duke Nukem 4Ever.

Faye, who runs production company Depth Entertainment, said he hopes to compliment these with "a Duke film scenario that will compel a studio to finance a feature version... Certainly, there's a large audience that knows and loves this character."

He went on: "We're expanding Duke's 'storyverse' in a very significant major way without abandoning or negating any element that's being used to introduce Duke to the next gen platforms."

With Max Payne due out this October, the producer also had this to say about possible sequels. "What more do you need to hear than Mark say he'd be interested in doing a sequel."

He went on: "I would imagine if the film is successful that there'd be a sincere desire to do a sequel. There have been no conversations about what the scenario would be, or whether we'd look at the Max Payne 2 game. Hopefully, this film will find an audience."

They should totally get Bruce Campbell to get right into shape and play the character who he largely inspired the modern incarnation of...won't happen, will never happen. But hey...I'd see it.

i just shat my pants.

I'm about as excited for this as I am the new rambo. this is fucking awesome. Duke is the man.

the guy sounds like Bruce Campbell ... but he looks nothing like him ...

casting would be a challenge

Have you played Duke Nukem 3D?
first of all, if you havnt, you must, its a ground breaking, phenomenal game.
I've been familiar with Duke since elementary school, and i could tell you right now, Bruce Campbell doesn't fit. I'm sure he'd make it awesome none the less, but It wouldnt be the Duke I know and love. they just need to cast some huge roid monkey.

first game i ever played ... and the only game i played online

loved it.

"Release date: The day after Duke Nukem Forever hits the shelves"


This is what I anticipate. I'll beleieve it when I see it. If they do to this what they did to doom, i will personally castrate the director, screenwriters and producers. It will be done with a butter knife.

if it's at least as half as good as that magical film Dungeons and Dragons, then i can't wait to see it !

Well, it remains to be seen. We'll see how Max Payne turns out, but apparently Courtney Solomon was not available...


He must be out using his mothers money to purchase film rights to another beloved product from a company that is financially wrecked and grasping at any straws that come their way in a pathetic effort to not fold.

Oh, and if it's a QUARTER as good as that materpiece, ill be , like, sooooo happy.

id love to find duke 3d somewhere for sale!!
