Video game adaptations are booming right now, from Uncharted to Sonic the Hedgehog, so you may be thinking, what else is coming up?
If you like the classic first-person shooter Duke Nukem, we've got some news…
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gearbox's fan-favourite franchise Duke Nukem is now set to come to Hollywood.
Legendary Entertainment, the firm behind Dune and the Godzilla monster film series, has taken on the Duke Nukem film rights from Gearbox, bringing Cobra Kai creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg all on board to help put it together.

What to Read Next
The specifics are in short supply right now, so fans of the classic game franchise should be sure to check in with Digital Spy as more details become available.
Hopefully it follows with the success of other game adaptations, such as Netflix's The Witcher starring Henry Cavill, which is heading for its third season.

Meanwhile, Spider-Man's Tom Holland revealed earlier this year which video game adaption he is keen to pursue next after the relative success of Uncharted.
"I would like to make a Jak & Daxter movie, and I would play Jak," he told GameSpot. "But I would make it at A24, so it was really weird and like dark. I would do like a really weird, live-action version of Jak & Daxter."
He may even reunite with his Uncharted director Reuben Fleischer on the project as the latter has stated he's "excited" to work on it as well.
