Michael Ross, whose credits include the 2006 horror flick “Turistas,” has been brought aboard to write the script. Joining in the production is L+E Pictures, helmed by Eric Eisner, the son of former Disney chief Michael Eisner. Adrian Askarieh, of Prime Universe Productions, is still aboard. Askarieh has ties to Eidos games, as the producer involved with the Hitman movie and the ongoing Kane & Lynch adaptation.
The Eisner/Askarieh alliance is working to develop the film before shopping for a studio to start filming it.

SPOILER
Where Rico ‘saves’ the people of Panau by dropping a nuclear bomb on their offshore oil reserves, preventing them from being exploited by evil oil multinationals. What a hero.
Well at least they’ve still got their fishing and tourist industries, oh wait, major radiation fallout, bummer.
Stupidest. Ending. Ever.

Okay, so it could work as a Bond movie….
