Wes Ball Set to Direct Film Adaptation of the Video Game RUINER with David Leitch Producing
Wes Ball, the director of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and the Maze Runner films, is set to helm a film adaptation of Reikon’s hit video game Ruiner for Universal Pictures.
Ruiner is an action shooter which is set in the year 2091 in the cyber metropolis Rengkok. The game follows “a wired psychopath who fights against a corrupt system to uncover the truth and retrieve his kidnapped brother.
“Under the guidance of a mysterious hacker, he battles through a world of brutal violence and cutting-edge technology, inching closer to the dark secrets hidden within the city’s neon-lit streets.”
This sounds like it will be a great project for Ball, and he will direct from a script written by Michael Arlen Ross (Locked).
The movie will be produced by Kelly McCormick and David Leitch (The Fall Guy, Bullet Train and Nobody). Also producing are the team behind Tomb Raider for Amazon MGM Studios and Netflix and Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog, Dmitri M. Johnson and Mike Goldberg.
