Epic Games CEO Refutes Rumors Of Fortnite Movie Following A Minecraft Movie Success
With A Minecraft Movie proving a box office hit, despite lackluster reviews, there are now rumors that another major video game franchise could be adapted into a movie. In a now-deleted post on social media, insider Daniel Richtman claimed that Fortnite will be the next blockbuster video game to get a movie treatment. However, he also stated that some studio shave already passed on the project.
"You just know Fortnite is next. There was already talk of a Fortnite movie, but some studios passed on it. That’s obviously gonna change now," DanielRPK wrote in his original post.
The post gained enough traction to warrant a response from Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, who denied the rumor. In a response, Sweeney simply stated: "False."
What remains unclear is what exactly Sweeney was referring to. Was he denying the rumors of a Fortnite movie, or the claims that some studios have passed on the project.
