8 Monkey Labs's Darkest of Days (http://www.techtalkboards.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3160672), the first-person shooter that used an elaborate time-travelling storyline as an excuse to feature a lot of really neat historical battles in the same game, is being adapted into a movie thanks to Hollywood producer Joe Roth (Alice in Wonderland, Knight & Day).
Slashfilm reports (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/02/11/the-rock-screenwriters-adapting-time-travel-video-game-darkest-of-days/) that Douglas Cook and David Weisberg are attached to write the screenplay, a duo whose previous screenwriting credits include The Rock and Double Jeopardy. No studio has claimed the project yet.
For those unfamiliar, Darkest of Days followed Alexander Morris, a soldier in Custer's army during the Battle of Little Big Horn. Being wounded in the battle, the soldier is rescued by an agent of "Kronotek," an organization that has developed time-travel and uses it to "preserve history." Apparently a disturbance was detected in the time-wave continuum (or something), and important historical figures are in danger of being killed before they can become historically important. It is then Morris's job to travel through time and save them.http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/_8yAFX1ajhUcdDREsws_8FNA-dg/0/di (http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/_8yAFX1ajhUcdDREsws_8FNA-dg/0/da)
