What ever happened to the Spy Hunter film, is that still being made?

Good News: Yes.

Bad News: Starring Dwayne ‘The Rock and I also was a bit shouty and tough in the Doom movie’ Johnson. And Paul ‘Resident Evil Movies’ Anderson has scriptwriting duties.

Although it was back in May last year since I last heard anything. And looking up some more it appears he starred in the most recent game (which is conspiculously absent from the Wikipedia page on the series) and was supposed to film the movie at the same time, but it never happened for various reasons and so Midway released the game. It’s not yet been confirmed if he isn’t staying on, so it could change.

Would have been better if they’d done it in the style of an old Atari ad.

Ie batshit crazy.

As a Pontiac-owning PC gamer who fondly recalls playing Spy Hunter in the arcades, on the Speccy and the C64, I find 100% relevance in this post.

Well, considering I regard this site as a quasi blog, I don’t really care if its PC gaming related as long as the content is interesting to read/look/laugh at. And thus far it almost entirely has been (The exceptions being things not to my personal tastes, but undoubtedly to others tastes).

If people are being pedantic here, then I’ll point out that both the original SpyHunter and the 2001 remake were released on the PC anyway, the former for DOS. So there. :P

Still bullshit, but this is *nice* bullshit with spy hunter in it, so I guess they get a tax break, or cookie, or whatever…

Well, via the gift of emulation everything is on the PC, eventually.

Wasn’t spy hunter on the PC at some point? Or the 8 bits at least. Most definately on an arcade machine that can be played on Mame on (you guessed it) PC I suspect.

It’s a Pontiac, so ‘this will make your dick look huge’ has always been the primary selling point.

But what does this have to do with *PC* gaming.

Oh, nothing.
