FAST X and INCREDIBLE HULK Director Louis Leterrier Wants to Make a FORTNITE Movie

Fast X and The Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier would love the opportunity to make a Fortnite movie one day. During a panel at Comic-Con, Leterrier explained why to Haunted Mansion director Justin Simien saying:

"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."

He didn’t really expand on what kind of story he’d tell, but it’s not hard to imagine a Fortnite movie being made. A comparable film would be Ryan Reynolds’ Free Guy, which did really well at the box office, and there’s no doubt a Fortnite movie with its massive fanbase would show up to watch the film.

Donald Mustard, the CCO of Epic Games, did say earlier this year that a live-action movie was a possibility. I think it’s just a matter of time before it happens. If a good film pitch comes along from a talented filmmaker, it’ll happen.

With a game like Fortnite, there are so many different directions that the story could go and I’m sure all of them will end up including some of the silly victory dances including the 'dab' and the 'floss'. The question is, is Letterrier the right filmmaker for the job?

He’s also worked on films such as the magician heist film Now You See Me, The Transporter, Clash of the Titans, The Dark Crystal: The Age of Resistance and more. He might actually be able to make it work! He will next direct Fast and Furious 11.
