Ruiner Video Game Being Adapted Into Movie, Wes Ball Will Direct

by

As a seasoned gamer and a connoisseur of cyberpunk narratives, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement upon hearing that Universal is bringing Ruiner to the big screen. Having spent countless hours navigating the gritty streets of Rengkok in the original game, I can only imagine what Wes Ball, with his impressive portfolio of action-packed films, will do with this unique property.

A Ruiner movie is in the works from Universal.

Originating from Reikon Games, the game titled Ruiner first came out in September 2017. This twin-stick shooter is set in the year 2901, depicting a cyberpunk metropolis named Rengkok in a dystopian future.

As a dedicated gamer, I’m drawn to this intriguing narrative where I embody a tenacious protagonist, a man with a twisted psyche, fighting relentlessly against a corrupt system. My ultimate goal? To unveil the truth and rescue my kidnapped brother. Alongside a shadowy hacker mentor, I navigate through a gritty world of intense violence and advanced technology, inch by inch, peeling back layers to expose the city’s ominous secrets concealed beneath its neon-bathed streets.

Excitedly speaking as a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that according to Variety, Universal Pictures has officially secured the rights to transform Ruiner into a full-length motion picture!

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t hide my excitement about me, Wes Ball, being tapped to direct the Ruiner movie! My portfolio boasts some pretty cool projects like The Maze Runner from 2014, followed by Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials in 2015, and Maze Runner: The Death Cure in 2018. Most recently, I had the privilege of working on Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which just dropped on Hulu for streaming. Can’t wait to bring my unique vision to Ruiner!

The ball, for now, is being used to guide the production of a real-life Legend of Zelda movie that will be distributed by both Nintendo and Sony Pictures. As of now, there hasn’t been an announced release date for the film.
