Machinima has inked a development deal with Greg Russo, the screenwriter behind two forthcoming video game projects.


As part of the deal, Russo, who penned New Line Cinema's new take on Mortal Kombat and Screen Gems' Resident Evil reboot, will work with Machinima to create and develop original programming for online distributors. His first project will be a fresh take on Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment's survival horror franchise F.E.A.R.


"Greg is an inspired screenwriter who clearly loves gaming," said Machinima general manager Russell Arons. "To be able to bring his talents to Machinima Studios provides us an amazing opportunity to tackle action-packed series that are certain to appeal to our legions of millennial gamers and fans around the world."


Added Russo: "As a lifelong gamer, it's an absolute honor to partner with Machinima, the preeminent provider of digital content to gamers worldwide. F.E.A.R. holds a special place in my heart. I'm excited to bring my personal passion to this and future projects and can't wait to see where our partnership goes from here."

I spent a lot of time with this game. Please don't mess it up!

Well it at very least its going to be better than the Monster Hunter movie that has modern setting.

FEAR is an all-time great shooter IMO. I can't imagine the movie being good, but who knows. Still wish the series had more entries.

 

[Breakage]

I've never played FEAR, but I know it is praised for its enemy AI. I've only got access to an X360. Anyone know if it's worth picking up the console version?

 

[TannerDemoz]

Wait, I'm confused. What are the Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil projects they talk about?

Update: holy shit, didn't realise they were doing reboots for MK and RE. But has anyone seen previous work from this guy?

 

[Shifty]

In 2018, when the franchise is more relevant than it ever was...

 

[MDSLKTR]

Who cares. It is long overdue for Monolith to take another crack at a game, it would suck if they're just a LOTR machine now.

 

[LaughingStock]

Straight to DVD

 

[TGO]

Cool

 

[Bolivar687]

F.E.A.R. has such a great concept and story, I hope they really do it justice.

Also agreed with MDSLKTR that Monolith needs to take another crack at the series, getting back to the great AI and encounters of 1, with some of the variety and atmosphere they did for 2.

I was a such fan of F.E.A.R. Because the combination of J-Horror and the Bullet time Effect, such a great memories i have of this game.

I like F.E.A.R. 2 and was my first PS3 game.

I dont Know F.E.A.R. 3 but the reviews say that was regular, i think Warner Bros ruined the Saga.

Monolith is such a great Developer.

Point man is a ex marine whom worked on classified stuff, his brother dead pool, a marine with a sewn together mouth is working with ghosts,
Will we find out what happened in the marines and in project x? Why do both not have a mother?
How much did the US army pay for them to be marines?
Find out in 2020 on direct to DVD of FEAR.

IGN gives exclusive back stage view of FEAR, exclusive Easter egg. Won’t believe someone wears a blood shirt like in the game.

Gamespot in 60secs, we sit down with man whom will play point man, ask him if he has ever played FEAR and about every female in the movie.

 

[Barakov]

I really enjoyed F.E.A.R., it's expansions and the sequel. But this one seems a little late. The boat has kinda sailed on it.

 

[Dontero]

Yeah, not good idea at all. FEAR was good game but story wasn't part of "good"
