Warner Bros. Wants to Make Movies Out of a Book Based on a Giant Video Game


The books, set in the not-too-distant future, are about a video game gone mad, a planet's obsession with virtual reality coming undone when people start entering their game worlds and never coming back out again.

Warner Bros., fresh off the completion of the Harry Potter series, apparently wants to turn Otherland into its next tentpole franchise, with scripts already being kicked around.

UPDATE - Well hello, what's this? The game is still in development? Been a while, but at least it's not as MIA as first thought!
