Movies based on video games have made a comeback in recent months with incredible productions. So it's no wonder to know that gamers already have their list of favorite titles that should make it to the big screen. One of the most popular candidates is Fortnite.
The Battle Royale is immensely popular, so it's only natural to think that Epic Games will sooner or later adapt it to film. Louis Leterrier, director of Fast X, thinks the idea is great, so he would love to be in charge of the project.
Director makes proposal to bring Fortnite to cinema
During a panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2023, Leterrier expressed his interest in adapting the Battle Royale universe into a movie. From his perspective, the game has very interesting characters with great potential for film.
In addition, the creative thinks that the experience of working on something related to Fortnite would be really entertaining. The idea is also appealing to gamers; however, Epic Games has not commented on the director's proposal.
"Because the game is incredible. The characters... I mean there's so much more to be told. It'd be funny. It would be full of action and everything," Leterrier stated.
A few months ago, Donald Mustard, creative director at Epic Games, stated that a Battle Royale movie is feasible. Unfortunately, he clarified that for now they have no plans to make it happen in the near future.
"I want to make things that always feel authentic and are a great story. It's not something we're actively working on right now, but I'm not going to say it would never happen. In fact, I know exactly the story I'd like, but it's not the focus right now," the creative stressed.
