By Borys Kit and Jay A. Fernandez LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - DreamWorks has picked up 'The Defenders,' a family adventure project conceived by 'Heroes' actor Masi Oka. ... Source: www.firstshowing.net --- 26 days ago
Heroes' star Masi Oka will make his transition to the big screen with The Defenders. But this isn't exactly what you're thinking. Masi conceived the idea on his own and DreamWorks just picked it up. The Defenders is a "family adventure project" about a group of teenagers from around the world who play a MMORPG, each unaware of who they really are behind the cover of their consoles and avatars. They are forced to come together for a real adventure, becoming inadvertent heroes in the process. Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are producing (not writing) with D.J. Caruso (Eagle Eye) in negotiations to direct. In addition to the movie, DreamWorks will develop a video game simultaneously with the feature. Masi is a gamer himself who came up with the idea while playing. "You can be whoever you want to be," Oka told THR. "The question came to me: What if you ... ...

Stop me if this sounds familiar: A group of people who play an massive multiplayer online role-playing game (or MMORPG, pronounced “meh-mor-puh-guh”) who know each other in the virtual world but don’t know each other in real life have to team up in the real world to solve a problem. That’s the logline for the new [...] ...

Masi Oka is really my Hero. The guy plays Hiro, on Heroes, and he plays a comic book geek living out the fantasy.

Masi Oka, Heroes star and big World of Warcraft fan, has come up with a story calledThe Defenders, about gamers who have to become real-world heroes, and Dreamworks has bought it. The project will be produced by Alex Kurtzman andRoberto Orci, and DJ Caruso is in talks to direct. (He last directed the Kurtzman/Orci produced Eagle Eye.) How do you make a multiplayer game-inspired movie that isn’t just a vague rehash of The Last Starfighter and Ender’s Game? Answer after the jump. THR reports that the story is about a bunch of gamers, mostly teenagers, who live all over the world but are united in the world of a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game like World of Warcraft. A real adventure brings them together and makes them into heroes as they have to live up to the characters they’ve created in the online world. OK, good starting point, but it’s got shades of the Underpants Gnome scheme: step one is the idea, step three is the movie. But step two, which should be the script? Empty question marks so far. Gary Whitta (The Book of Eli, the in-development Akira adaptation) is writing. Like Oka, he’s a big MMO player, which is probably a good sign, though with the combined sensibilities of he and Oka (i.e. dedicated gamers) and Kurtzman and Orci (i.e. setpiece lovers) there’s reason for concern that this will be just a big slam-bang mess. Where’s the balance? Kurtzman and Orci are really trying to capture the old Amblin Entertainment vibe ...

Masi Oka plays the fan-favorite character Hiro on the television show Heroes , but that's not the only role he plays -- we've heard before that he's a big World of Warcraft player as well (which makes sense -- before his star turn on NBC's superhero show, he actually worked at Industrial Light and Magic developing water effects , so he's a geek at heart). And now he's using his MMO experience to create a movie : he's just signed a deal with Dreamworks to create a movie called " The Defenders ," a family adventure about a group of teens playing an MMO who have to come together to have some adventures of their own. Both Oka and writer Gary Whitta are fans of WoW , so they're drawing on their experience in the game to put together the project. Oka tells the Hollywood Reporter that "the question came to me: What if you had to live up to the person you created in the virtual world?" He also cites The Goonies as an inspiration for the story, as an adventure that brings back an innocence found in those old Amblin Entertainment films. Sounds interesting. It might be aimed a little young for the average WoW player (even The Goonies , while considered a cult classic nowadays, was really aimed at kids in the '80s), but a film that can take a good look at the comparison between our in-game selves and their real-life counterparts (and have some fun doing it) would definitely be something to see. The project's only just getting underway now, but we' ...
