Square Enix's THIEF Goes Under The Live-Action Pen
More live action video game films are abound and as of Deadline‘s latest report, that list now includes Square Enix’s latest re-adapted 2014 video game, Thief. Straight Up Films, the production company behind the latest release of Jane Got A Gun starring Natalie Portman and Joel Edgerton, is moving forward with Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment and Adrian Askarieh also producing.
Adam Mason and Simon Boyes are leading point on the script based on the game which initially launch and persisted between 1998 and 2009 before relaunching in 2014. The most recent game itself anchors its story in a fantasy steampunk world laden with attributes akin to the Victorian and Middle Ages, with central focus on Garrett, a master thief who returns to his old home bearings in The City, now intent on using his stealth and purloin skills against the villainous tyrant known as the Baron.
Sandra Condito will executive produce for Straight Up Films with Khalid Jones of Source Rock and Square Enix executive producing.
