    Whoa. Thomas Crown Affair, I Am Legend 2, Miami Vice and now Battlefield with McQuarrie – love to see MBJ taking advantage of that *Oscars/Sinners* momentum!

    Yeah, I don’t think McQuarrie will be in the hot seat for *Top Gun 3*.

    It’s either this or the *King Conan* movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger or maybe even something like *Sicario 3*.

    I don’t think this is a great use of the talents of anyone involved, but I’m willing to be proven wrong

  5. So with Battlefield and King Conan lined up, I doubt McQuarrie will be doing Top Gun 3

  6. I mean ok but what story would you even go for here? Battlefield isn’t exactly known for its memorable stories or campaigns. Its a multiplayer game first and foremost.

    The only logical thing is trying to adapt Bad Company.

    If not that you would just be making generic military movie nr.24 thats titled Battlefield for the sake of it.

  7. I gotta say, this is not what I thought McQuarrie would be using his post-*Mission: Impossible* cache on

    Good on MBJ, but this is kind of a boring announcement. More thinly veiled military propaganda. Tough guys in bulletproof vests shooting at terrorists. How inspired.

    Sorry but MBJ picks the same type of projects over and over. He got his academy award and his next 10 years will be law enforcer or military roles lol.

    McQuarrie needs to lock the fuck in and make that Gauntlet remake with Crusie and Johansson. This is unacceptable

  11. The era of video game adaptations has finally dawned upon us thanks to Nintendo.Now, countdown begins for the biggest cinematic event

    Video game movies coming:

    Mortal Kombat II (May 8)

    Street Fighter (October 16)

    Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil (September 18)

    The Angry Birds Movie 3 (December 25)

    Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (March 19, 2027)

    The Legend of Zelda (May 7, 2027)

    A Minecraft Sequel (July 23, 2027)

    Call of Duty (June 30, 2028)

    Untitled Sonic universe film (December 22, 2028)

    Battlefield (TBA)

    Likely in development by now:

    The Super Mario Bros Movie 3 (TBA)

    FNAF 3 (TBA)

    Donkey Kong (TBA 2028)

    This is one packed lineup.

  13. Excellent package formed by EA. Can see Amazon MGM, Disney/20th, Uni and a potential Para-Bros (WarnerMount?) all chasing this one hard. Sony as well, for PS synergy. Only in *Battlefield*… now in IMAX.

    I mean, the money prints itself.

    Assuming, of course, they don’t fuck it up.

    Zero chance either of them goes through with this. I predict 5 years of development hell, with 3 different directors and 2 leads attached and detach over time.
