Variety reports that Transformers producer Tom DeSanto has secured the rights to NCsoft and Cryptic Studio's superheroes videogame City of Heroes.
The plan is to adapt the massively multiplayer online role-playing game into a live-action feature and then transition it to television in some form.
The project revolves around a group of superheroes who live in Paragon City and must team in order to fight an invasion of aliens known as the Rikti.
In the game, players design their own superhero character and pay a monthly fee of $14.99 to battle supervillains, aliens, madmen and other criminals. An expansion of the game also enables players to create their own villainous character. |
