If you don’t know the name Grant Morrison, then you don’t (or ever did) read comic books. The Scottish comic book scribe has been responsible for some great titles, not least among them his version of “The Doom Patrol” and the monstrously cool Batman graphic novel “Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth”. Fans of Morrison should get happy, because Variety reports that Morrison has been hired by Paramount Pictures to write the big-screen adaptation of “Area 51″, which is supposedly an adaptation of the videogame of the same name. I say “supposedly” because, frankly, there’s no reason for them to even stick to the videogame’s storyline, the game being a piece of lame crap and all.
“Area 51″ the game is a First Person Shooter in the style of Doom and Quake, where a character runs around the titular Government facility killing things and blowing stuff up. It’s great fun for the undemanding gamer. Quake it ain’t, let’s just say that. Or Prey, or Call of Duty, or 5000 other FPS’s available out there…
Kill those alien scum.
