Wolfenstein Film On Hold B/C Of Strike

It was rumored a while back that a film adaption of the popular video game Wolfenstein was in the works, but that was the last I've heard of this.  Now Writer/director Roger Avary says that the script is almost done, but the strike put a hold on that.  From Scifi Wire.

Writer/director Roger Avary told SCI FI Wire that he is almost done with the script for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, his adaptation of the hit video game, which he hopes to direct, but added that everything is on hold until the writers' strike ends.

Avary, who is co-writer with Neil Gaiman of the upcoming animated film Beowulf, said in an interview Nov. 3 that he "is almost done with the script and am proud of it, but everything as far as the production date and that kind of thing won't be decided on until after all this [is] over. And I fully support the strike."

Avary said the film will be based on a Commodore 64 game and will be a lot like "a World War II old movie of guys who are out on a mission, but this one will have the addition of monsters and horror and a lot of craziness all mixed together. We will start it when it is the right time."

Avary said he did research into the paranormal, the American military and the Nazis. Avary, who won an Academy Award for Pulp Fiction with Quentin Tarantino, also wrote Silent Hill, which is also based on a video game. —Mike Szymanski

This will probably be another bad video game adaption, but I don't care.  I want to see this.  I remember playing this many many years ago on my dads computer.  So I do hope that it will get mad and just be  a fun monster movie, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
