The game world continues to move to the big screen. Just Cause, one of the first games that comes to mind when it comes to action production, is finally preparing to color the world of cinema. Important information came from the movie, which has been silent for a while.

Just Cause movie adaptation is in production

The movie adaptation of the Just Cause franchise, which has been in development for over a decade, is finally moving into production. Universal Pictures has signed the director of Blue Beetle, Angel Manuel Soto. In this context, it also announced that it has taken over the distribution of the action movie.

87North Productions said they have an overall deal with Universal Pictures and will produce Just Cause. Story Kitchen’s Dmitri M. Johnson, Mike Goldberg and Timothy I. Stevenson will also serve as producers on the project.

Constantin Film previously held the film rights to Just Cause. Derek Kolstad, a member of John Wick’s production team, was previously attached to the project as a screenwriter, but eventually announced his departure from the film.

Soto, one of the most notable action directors of recent times, is currently preparing to shoot The Wrecking Crew, starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista. He is also writing the script for a Transformers production that he may direct.

Just Cause tells the story of Rico Rodriguez, a player recruited to bring down corrupt regimes. The last installment of the game series by Square Enix and Avalanche Studios was released 6 years ago. There is also the possibility of seeing a new game with the movie.
