The deal was a ”short form option” which is how movie studios ‘mark their territory’, warding off other potential suitors, basically. Red carpet time?
No, is the short answer. The U.S. filing is quite old and nothing appears to have come of it, with Warner (who owns New Line) likely waiting to see if the interactive PS3 exclusive drama was actually any good. It was superannuation who found the dusty filing.
Now that the game is out among the public Warner Bros could decide to renew their interest, or quietly cut their losses now and move on. Which do you hope for?
