Duke Nukem movie in the works?

Gothic Girl | September 10, 2008 | News | Misc 
The decade of over-the-top, cheesy action films ended almost 20 years ago, but that hasn't stopped Max Payne's producer Scott Faye from beginning to work on a Duke Nukem movie. But will a 21st century audience find humor in a pig-headed, misongyneous, testosterone-filled hero who pumps out awful one-liners faster than ammo? The Terminator movies kind of beat you there already, Duke.

Which brings up the question, will the movie be released before Duke Nukem Forever?
A pair of new console games isn’t the only thing cooking for the classic 3D shooter franchise, Duke Nukem. Hollywood producer Scott Faye, who’s readying Max Payne for its October 17th release, is working with 3D Realms’ Scott Miller on a Duke Nukem movie.

“I'm working diligently at making a Duke Nukem movie scenario that will live up to the character and its import in the videogame world,” said Faye. “As is the case with all of my game adaptations, I'd rather not make the movie than make a poor adaptation.”

    That depends, Duke Nukem Forever is taking its sweet ass time getting finished.
    I suppose the title of the movie is Duke Nukem: In the future.

    Still interesting though.
