I am convinced that 3D Realms is a joke company that specializes in long-term pranks. Theridiculous trailerfor the new portableDuke Nukemgames, the farcical delay ofDuke Nukem Foreverand thewhole attitudesurrounding the franchise just screams of a big laugh at our expense.
This is why talk ofaDuke Nukemmovieleaves me similarly wary of publishers sniggering behind my back.
Hollywood producer Scott Faye, the man currently bringingMax Payneto theaters, is the man responsible forDuke‘s alleged film debut, and is allegedly working with 3D Realms to allegedly make it happen. Faye says he is “working diligently at making aDuke Nukemmovie scenario that will live up to the character and its import in the videogame world.”
If it’s a faithful recreation he’s after, don’t expect to see aDuke Nukemmovie for the next twenty-two years.
