Mortal Kombat Movie Writer Wants to Adapt Far Cry 3 | Game Rant
Far Cry 3 is beloved by many, and often considered one of the best entries in the Far Cry franchise. This game laid the foundation for every subsequent Far Cry game, and has since achieved a cult classic status among many in the gaming community. Now Greg Russo, lead screenwriter behind the upcoming film revival of Mortal Kombat, has expressed an interest in taking on a live-action adaptation of Far Cry 3.
Russo has talked up the Mortal Kombat film quite a bit on Twitter, and promises to bring all of the best elements of the franchise together into one solid experience. While there has yet to be any sort of trailer or promotional material, a number of fans are excited about the upcoming project.
When asked on Twitter if he had an interest in adapting anything from Ubisoft's acclaimed Far Cry series, Russo immediately responded with Far Cry 3, citing it as one of the best games ever made. Russo directed his interest at Ubisoft on Twitter, and considering a TV series based on Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is currently in the works, a movie adaptation in the same universe may not be too far out of the realm of possibility.
In addition to adapting the game into a movie, Russo also expressed interest in bringing back Michael Mando to reprise his roll as Vaas Montenegro, considered one of the most iconic antagonists in Far Cry history. Nothing is confirmed or in development, this was simply Russo expressing an interest in doing a film based on Far Cry 3.
Far Cry 3 has the potential to make an excellent film, given the game possesses numerous cinematic and atmospheric elements that make it memorable to many who have played it. The eighth anniversary of Far Cry 3's release is in a little over a month, and even after two more entries have come out there are many that love the game and would likely be interested in seeing it adapted into a film.
Again, nothing is confirmed and this is little more than a hypothetical exercise. That being said, many fans of the series would likely enjoy a Far Cry 3 film that featured Michael Mando returning as Vaas. Still, with the release of Far Cry 6 right around the corner, Far Cry fans have a lot to look forward to.
Far Cry 3 is available now on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
