Thief movie adaptation sneaks into Hollywood

A truly accurate Thief movie would be two hours of hiding behind pillars and memorizing guard movements, then 15 minutes of frantic action concluding in utterly unnoticed victory. But I can understand if the upcoming film adaptation, as announced by Eidos-Montreal on its official website, takes a few cinematic liberties.

Production company Straight Up Films got the rights to develop master thief Garrett's story into a feature film, penned for the screen by Misconduct and Not Safe For Work writers Adam Mason and Simon Boyes (via Hollywood Reporter): “We have always been passionate about telling stories and bringing them to different mediums," Eidos-Montreal studio head David Anfossi said. "With the intricate world of Thief being made into a feature film, a larger audience will be able to dive into this universe."

Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
