A "buddy film" based off of the video game, Army of Two, is now in the works at Universal Pictures. Set to begin production in 2009, the co-writer for The Bourne Ultimatium, Scott Burns, is slated to pen the script for the movie.
Here, Burns shares a little bit on what he has envisioned for the film adaptation of Army of Two.
This marks the third EA title that has recently been given the green light for a film adaptation. The Sims and Mass Effect are the other two EA branded games set to receive the big-screen treatment.

Here, Burns shares a little bit on what he has envisioned for the film adaptation of Army of Two.
"Because people experience the game in pairs, playing two guys who go against the world, Scott and I agreed this format presented an opportunity to make a great buddy film. The ambiguity of these private military corporations lends weight to an intelligent thriller with relevance to what’s going on in the world right now. You have contractors with their own agendas, and two guys whose friendship supersedes all the politics. I told EA right off the bat I wasn’t a gamer, and that appealed to them because they didn’t want to simply replicate the game."
