Helldivers Devs Hope the Movie Recruits A-List Cannon Fodder

Earlier this month, Sony revealed its planning to make live-action movies for Horizon Zero DawnandHelldivers. The latter is a co-op shooter about space marines fighting aliens, and its not uncommon for sci-fi war movies to have big stars: your Tom Cruises, Chris Pratts, and the like. If it were up to execs at developer Arrowhead Game Studios, said movie would indeed bring in some big namesand then have them all die horribly. Arrowhead recently held a Q&A on the Helldivers Discord, and some players had questions about the movie. When asked by one player, CEO Shams Jorjani said the studio hopes for as many A-list actors as possible, as long as they all get killed violently immediately. After the movies announcement, fans made joke fantasy castings that included Pratt, Jack Black, and Adam Sandler as creatures or non-descript marines from the game, like a Bile Titan. Jorjanis comment has since spurred players to keep running with the joke, so now stars like Sean Bean, Aaron Paul, and Dwayne Johnson have been added into the cast mix. Got a star youd wanna see get got in this movie? Tell us in the comments! Less jokingly, Jorjani told another player that Arrowheads been kept in the loop on some stuff about theHelldiversmovie. But he and CCO Johan Pilestedt think the studios involvement in the film should only go so far. On Twitter, Pilestedt recently explained the developers are not Hollywood people, and we dont know what it takes to make a movie. Therefore we dont, and shouldnt, have final say. The amount of input game developers have on an adaptation varies: creators of Last of Usand League of Legends are heavily involved in those shows, while others have comparably less cooks in the kitchen. When it comes to the finished products quality, that also varies, and theres no hard science to determine how much creator input makes for a success in the eyes of both newcomers and longtime fans. It sounds like theHelldiversmovie is currently in its earliest stages, if Sony even goes ahead with making it. But given these games influences, it feels like youd have totryat adapting them wrongly.
