A Thief movie is in the works

Thief, the well-known series of medieval/dark fantasy stealth games, will be getting a movie adaptation, the Hollywood Reporter claims. The Lost Angeles-based company Straight Up Films ended up acquiring the rights from Square Enix, and will be producing a movie that takes place in the game’s usual dark fantasy world, telling a story about a certain master thief and a “magic-wielding tyrant”.

The screenplay will be written by Adam Mason and Simon Boyes.
