Fans of the brutal hit video game Helldivers 2 are eagerly waiting to see how Sony’s next film adaptation turns out.
While Arrowhead, the developer behind Helldivers 2doesn’t have much control over the creative reins of Hollywood, CEO Shams Jorjani has some hilariously creepy casting hopes for the film.
During a recent discussion in Helldivers 2 Discord, Jorjani responded to a fan casting Chris Pratt as the Bile Titan by saying, “We’re all hoping for as many A-list actors as possible. As long as they are all violently killed immediately.
I guess that’s an appropriate sentiment for a game where death is inevitable and spectacularly over-the-top. There is currently no casting for the film, so at the moment the only thing they can talk about is fan casting. Which actors do they want to see cast in the movie only to be brutally killed?
I just hope the movie captures the same chaotic energy and tone as the game. THE Helldivers the franchise is known for casting players in the role of futuristic soldiers battling alien threats such as robotic automatons and insectoid Terminids, all in the name of advocating “managed democracy.”
Arrowhead creative director Johan Pilestedt previously offered some insight into the studio’s role in the film’s development.
He made it clear that Arrowhead will be involved in the process, but the final creative decisions rest firmly with Sony. “We’re not Hollywood people,” he admitted. “We don’t know what it takes to make a film. And so we do not, and should not, have the final say.”
For now, Sony remains tight-lipped about the adaptation, with few details available beyond the announcement that the project is in development.
