Well it seems yet another video game is on its way to the big screen.  No, sorry, it’s not Excitebike.  Legendary Pictures has optioned the rights to make Diablo into a major motion picture.  Yipee.  No word yet on what the lead character’s class will be (Necromancer please!).  With Legendary Pictures already working on on a World of Warcraft film it seems like the studio is trying to carve out a niche for itself as the new home to continue the legacy of “greatness” in past video game adaptations.  Remember Super Mario Bros., Double Dragon, or Doom (I wish I didn’t!).  That’s all for now; as always, you’ll know more when we do!
