The movie adaptation from Sony Pictures will be written and directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who last wrote This Is the End for Sony.<br /><br />The book pulled from hundreds of interviews from former employees about the battle between Sega and Nintendo, both of which are still active parts of the multi-billion dollar video games industry. The author will be an Executive Producer on the film, and he also happens to be co-directing a documentary on the same subject. The book will be released in August but there is no word on when we'll be able to see the adaptation.<br /><br />Descriptions for the book call it, "a mesmerizing, behind-the-scenes business thriller that chronicles how Sega, a small, scrappy gaming company led by an unlikely visionary and a team of rebels, took on the juggernaut Nintendo and revolutionized the video game industry."<br /><br />--------------------------------------<br /><br />Like us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/EscapistMag<br />Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/TheEscapistMag<br />Find us Google+: http://bit.ly/EscapistGoogle<br />Follow us on Pinterest: http://bit.ly/EscapistPins<br />Check out our Merch: http://www.splitreason.com/theescapist
