Joust: The Movie: For Real

CP Productions have announced that they’re working on a Joust movie. You know Joust. Had jousting, flying ostriches. From that simple premise they’ve announced the film will be “Gladiator meets Mad Max”, and is the first in many gaming adaptations CP will be bringing to both the big-screen and turning into comic books.
