Russo’s initial project for Machinima will be a live-action adaptation based on Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment’s survival horror game F.E.A.R. (aka First Encounter Assault Recon) for online distribution.
Machinima, a division of Warner Bros. Digital Networks, announced today a development deal with Greg Russo, the screenwriter of two highly-anticipated feature films based on iconic video game franchises: the forthcoming Mortal Kombat from New Line Cinema and Screen Gems’ Resident Evil.
Machinima Studios develops and produces long-form live action and animated series based on iconic gaming IP for traditional and premium digital platforms.
Under the pact, Russo will work closely with the Machinima Studios team to create and develop original premium programming for outside buyers.
