Mechwarrior: The Movie Rumored in the Works
Would you like to see Megan Fox in this one too?
Big, over-the-top movies about giant robots fighting seem to be doing fairly well with the movie-going audiences these days. Even though Transformers 2 wasn't the follow-up that many were expecting it to be, plenty of people still went to see it for the spectacle.
Now Michael Eisner's production company, Tornante, is rumored to be working on a Mechwarrior film. Eisner is best known for his two-decade stint as the CEO at Walt Disney.
According to a Joystiq source, Michael Eisner's The Tornante Company is now developing a Mechwarrior movie with some considerable "Hollywood" talent taking up the pen.
Writer Michael Gordon is rumored to be drafting a Mechwarrior script. Gordon is no stranger to big, explosive Hollywood conventions, as he penned the screenplay for 300 and came up with the story for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Gordon's also involved with other gaming properties EverQuest and Siren.
How do you feel about a modern classic PC game possibly hitting the silver screen? And what would you like to see from it?

Starcraft/Warcraft would be good movie choice..
It's not like it's really the first time for Mechwarrior. It was an animated series for a while there that was considered excellent at the time. It could go horribly wrong, of course, but it might not.
Not the first time Mechs have had a movie outing, anybody remember Crash & Burn or Robojox?
Robot Jox FTW War is banned so resolve international disputes by competing 2 giant mecha against each other!
Actually makes a whole lotta sense - magnesium stun flash grenades XD
