Duncan Jones is no stranger to adapting video games for the big screen, as the co-writer of Universal Pictures’ 2016 “Warcraft” adaptation, which he also directed. That film was an infamous critical flop, but it hasn’t deterred Jones from giving other video games the movie treatment. Case in point: A 92-page script adaptation of the 1995 video game “Full Throttle” written in quarantine during a bit of writer’s block. Jones self-published the script for free on Dropbox.
“I enjoy writing. I also hate writing. Sometimes, when I cant squeeze out the thing I want to write, I write something else. This has happened a lot during Covid,” Jones wrote on Twitter, adding that he was inspired to pivot to adapting “Full Throttle” after he saw a friend’s animated reimagining of the video game on Vimeo. “If nothing else, it gave me a chance to do a bit of action comedy.
