Helldivers is preparing to launch a dropship to a theater near you via an upcoming film adaptation, and it just landed a big-time director. Justin Lin, best known for directing several installments in the Fast & Furious franchise, will helm the project.<\/p>\n

Per The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>, the Helldivers movie comes from Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions, with Justin Lin\u2019s Perfect Storm Entertainment helping produce. Lin\u2019s credits include directing most of the installments in the Fast & Furious series, starting with The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift<\/em> (2006) and continuing with Fast & Furious<\/em> (2009), Fast Five<\/em> (2011), Fast & Furious 6<\/em> (2013), F9<\/em> (2021), and Fast X<\/em> (2023).<\/p>\n

According to THR<\/em>\u2019s sources, Lin is not a gamer and is leveraging this in his pitch to \u201cfind the humanity in the characters and weave timely themes into the story, while building out a world and mythology.\u201d The script for Helldivers<\/em> is penned by Gary Dauberman, the writer behind the It and Annabelle franchises, as well as The Nun<\/em>. Dauberman also wrote this year’s Until Dawn<\/em>, so Helldivers<\/em> will be his second video game adaptation.<\/p>\n

Given that Helldivers is essentially a video game version of the cult classic film Starship Troopers<\/em>, turning it into a movie does feel like the snake eating its tail. Helldivers centers on soldiers hailing from Super Earth, an uber-patriotic managed democracy, who defend the planet in an intergalactic war against alien bugs, as well as killer robots and other threats. The first game was released for the PlayStation 4 in 2015, and Helldivers 2 arrived on PlayStation 5 in 2024 to widespread acclaim and popularity.<\/p>\n

The Helldivers movie does not have a specific release date or window. In the meantime, check out our reviews for Helldivers<\/a> and Helldivers 2<\/a>.
