According to Latino Review:
"Video games and comic books are the big hit in Hollywood and it looks like another one has been optioned for the big screen by the same guy who brought us the very cool Hitman movie. (Naked chicks and fights, so yeah, it was cool.)"
Variety has more:
Eric Eisner's L+E Pictures has optioned the film rights to Avalanche Studios' videogame franchise "Just Cause," which it will develop with producer Adrian Askarieh, of Prime Universe Prods., before shopping it to the studios.
Michael Ross ("Turistas") will pen the script.
Property revolves around Rico Rodriguez, aka the Scorpion, a black ops agent who carries out deadly missions for the U.S. government that come in the form of creating chaos and destabilizing rogue nations from within and turning the bad guys against each other.
The character's calling card is his grappling hook and penchant for aerial stunts with his unique parachute, putting him in unusual action scenarios like hijacking fighter jets in midair.
