Vin Diesel Is Developing a Film Based on the Open-World Video Game ARK: SURVIVAL EVOLVED
Vin Diesel has announced that he is producing a feature film based on the hit open-world video game Ark: Survival Evolved. Game studio Wildcard recently shared a trailer for Ark 2, which Diesel shared on his Instagram account and it features him riding a warrior T-Rex!
Diesel shared in a statement: "The best game out right now is Ark Survival Evolved… my son introduced me to the game many years back. Then Wildcard and all of the [geniuses] over there asked me to shepherd the IP into the TV and Film space… an honor I can’t begin to describe.”
The actor and producer then revealed that something is already in the works and said: "I am excited for you all to see the franchise unfold on the big screen. Stay tuned."
Separate from what Diesel is working on, there’s also an Ark: The Animated Series is also in production. Featuring an all-star cast including David Tennant, Michelle Yeoh, Gerard Butler, Elliot Page, and Russell Crowe, the show is expected to be released later this year.
Ark: Survival Evolved was originally released in 2017, and in it, players battle for survival in a world populated by dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures.
