A portion of a GameCyte interview with Depth Entertainment’s Scott Faye

GameCyte: The Duke Nukem movie has been in the works for nearly as long as Duke Nukem Forever: over 10 years. Could you please tell us how the film went from Threshold to Dimension, why production went silent and how it ended up back in your hands now?

Scott Miller: The reality is that there’s been no Duke movie “in the works” for nearly eight years. It’s true that Threshold Entertainment acquired the rights, but there was never a good script written, and the project never got off the ground. Several years ago Threshold lost its right to the project. In just the past few months we’ve decided to pursue a movie again, this time through Depth Entertainment, the production studio behind the Max Payne film. We love that the Max film appears to be a high-quality production and appears to capture the vibe of the games. The most recent trailer really brings home this point.
