‘Shattered Union’ Video Game Coming to the Big Screen
The video game Shattered Union is being adapted into a feature film, J. Michael Straczynski (Ninja Assassin) is writing it.
Jerry Bruckheimer is plotting a civil war at Disney, tapping J. Michael Straczynski to adapt 2K Games’ “Shattered Union.”In the game, states secede from the U.S. and form their own governments that wage a civil war against each other after Washington, D.C., is wiped out in a nuclear blast and chaos ravages the nation.
Players control one of the warring group of states — the California Commonwealth, Republic of Texas and New England Alliance are three of the six — or a European peacekeeping unit sent to reunify America.
Civil war, doesn’t sound like the kind of thing people are going to rush out to see. I could be wrong, but it seems like Americans these days are more in the mood for fantasy, sci-fi and other distractions from reality to get our minds OFF of war.
