Console Wars tells the story of Sega taking on Nintendo in the 80s and 90s. Now, Sony has picked up the movie rights...
Blake J Harris' book, Console Wars, is a piece of work that charts how Sega was transformed to become the company that went toe to toe with Nintendo across the 80s and early 90s. It's due for publication in the UK in May.
Already though, the film rights to the book have been snapped up. And they've been picked up, of all companies, by Sony. According to Booktrade (via Gamespot), Console Wars is already being developed as a feature film, with Scott Rudin producing.
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg - who delivered a solid hit for Sony with This Is The End last year - are writing the screenplay. They also penned the foreword for the book. Harris himself will serve as executive producer, and is also co-directing a documentary on the Sega and Nintendo battle.
