New Line Cinema Wants To Turn ‘Rampage’ Into A Movie. My Gaming Childhood Approves.

We’ve crossed the fucking Rubicon regarding adaptations. Don’t give me any noise about my approving of a Rampage adaptation when there’s a goddamn Battleship movie coming out. Okay? Shoot.

Joystiq:

We can hardly think of a more gripping, dramatic story than people transformed into gigantic lizards, apes and wolves, who go about destroying skyscrapers, so we’re happy to report that New Line has optioned  Rampage  for the silver screen. Just imagine it: a gigantic ape, palming a frightened blonde, descends a massive skyscraper — oh, right,  that already happened. Imagine a lizard then! Or a wolf!

The Hollywood Reporter  says John Rickard, who helped produce a plethora of New Line Cinema films, is currently shopping around for a writer to come up with a script. Frankly, there isn’t a better ending we can come up with for this post than  a person will be paid to write a  Rampage  movie.

I remember sitting in the arcade, feeling strangely aroused as the naked lady (formerly the Giant Lizard, IIRC) walked off screen. Good times. Strange feelings. Let’s get this done.
