EA ain't fucking around when it comes to these movie adaptions. They already got a live action Dead Space movie in the works in addition to the animated shit, and now Army of Two. What's next? Mirror's Edge movie?I'd actually like to see that.
I'm shocked that EA hasn't tried to -buy a movie studio-merge with a movie studio-start their own movie studioIf EA can keep on this kickass path, I think we might be in for a real treat. Hopefully the next CEO doesn't completely fuck everything up.
