Just Cause: Scorpio Rising Movie is In The Works, Just Cause 3 Also Reportedly On the Cards

Just Cause 2

Written Wednesday, December 14, 2011 By Richard Walker

Just Cause: Scorpio Rising is the name of the movie of the game currently in the pipeline, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, featuring the origins of how Rico Rodriguez came to be the zipline-flinging liberator of the people that he is in the Just Cause series. Hence the 'Rising' bit in the title.

Bryan Edward Hill (Broken Trinity: Pandora's Box, 7 Days From Hell) is supposedly rewriting the script, which had been originally scribbled by Michael Ross. However, the movie's producers Adrian Askarieh and Eric Eisner still have to take the movie to financiers or studios before shooting on the project can even begin, so it'll be a long way off yet.

The same report also claims that Just Cause 3 could be in development too, despite developer Avalanche Studios saying that it won't be releasing a game in 2012. Perhaps it'll be coming in 2013 alongside the so-called 'Project Mamba' then? And maybe it could be a next-generation title? Who flippin' knows? All we know is we want Steven Seagal in the lead movie role... maybe.

	@1 - Assassin's Creed movie? Did I miss something or do you mean the Hitman movie? And please, no Seagal. He's too fat, dumb, and old. If they make it I'll bet it's Tayor Lautner.

	@9 Nope. A stupid actor like Taylor won't get this role unless Uwe Bowl (how do you spell his name again?) takes over. Antonio's a bit old for the role, too. Me, I'm going to bet on Chris Evans, although his filming schedule won't work here. I dunno. Pick someone with a dash of Spanish and Italian roots. Does anyone from Vampire Diaries or True Blood work here? (Haven't watched enough of either to know for sure.)
