Say what you will about the Roger Avary’s Silent Hill script, the filmmaker has churned out some great pictures including The Rules of Attraction and Killing Zoe. His next project? Bringing Return to Castle Wolfenstein to the big screen. Avary wants to do the first-person-shooter as a “men on a mission” movie like The Dirty Dozen or Where Eagles Dare. The director explains: I mean, what’s not to love? It’s a WWII “guys on a mission” movie, which means you’re going to be blowing shit up, storming bunkers, busting dams, derailing trains, and killing Nazi’s.
Shocktillyoudrop are reporting that Roger Avary, he of Rules of Attraction and Silent Hill, is both writing and directing a film adaptation of id’s Return to Castle Wolfenstein. He’ll be reuniting with Producer Samuel Hadida, who picked up the rights to the game a while back and who worked with Avary on Silent Hill. This should be easier on Avary, and us, than Silent Hill. Surely you can’t screw up a lone GI fighting hordes of Nazi mutants and sexy assassins? Can you? Avary Accepts Wolfenstein Mission [ShockTillYouDrop.com]
