Justin Lin, director behind some of the most iconic entries in the Fast & Furious franchise and Star Trek Beyond, has just been announced as the helmsman for the long-awaited film adaptation of Helldivers. Gary Dauberman, known for his work on It, It Chapter Two, Annabelle, The Nun, and Salem's Lot, will be penning the script.
Lin's involvement in the project is certainly exciting, given his proven track record with high-octane action and stylish filmmaking. As a seasoned producer, he has also made a name for himself in television, having worked on shows such as S.W.A.T., Scorpion, Magnum P.I., and Warrior. However, it's worth noting that Lin hasn't had many opportunities to showcase his directing skills in recent years.
Helldivers, for the uninitiated, is a co-op shooter franchise inspired by Starship Troopers, set in a hyper-patriotic dystopia called Super Earth. The game has gained a dedicated following over the years and was recently released on Xbox. Despite its popularity, Sony has yet to announce a release date for the film adaptation.
It's also worth noting that the script will be written by Dauberman, who is predominantly known for his work in horror films. While this may seem like an unconventional choice given Helldivers' more lighthearted tone, it could actually be an interesting take on the game's themes and action. Only time will tell how Lin and Dauberman choose to bring the world of Helldivers to life on the big screen.
In related news, Arrowhead Game Studios has released a significant update for the PC build of Helldivers 2, which reduces the file size from 154GB to a much more manageable 23GB. While this may seem like a minor detail at first glance, it's always exciting to see game developers pushing the boundaries of compression and optimization technology.
As the release date for the film adaptation approaches, fans of Helldivers will be eagerly awaiting any news or updates on the project. With Lin and Dauberman at the helm, there's certainly potential for a thrilling and entertaining cinematic experience that stays true to the spirit of the game.

. I mean, Justin Lin is an awesome director and all, but he hasn't had a lot of directing gigs lately, right? And then there's Gary Dauberman, who's more known for horror movies than co-op shooters... I get that it's an unconventional choice, but I'm curious to see how they'll balance the tone. Plus, when can we expect a release date from Sony? They're taking their sweet time, and I don't want to be disappointed 
.
! He's got some sick action movie cred under his belt with Fast & Furious, and I'm stoked he's bringing his expertise to this project. Gary Dauberman might seem like an odd choice at first, but if anyone can bring out the dark humor and satire in the game, it's him 
. And omg, the Helldivers 2 update is a total win – 23GB is a massive reduction, now I can play on my console without breaking the bank 
! This film has some serious potential to get it right, fingers crossed we'll see an awesome movie that does justice to the game 
.
like justin lin directing? that's a huge get for the franchise, especially after the recent updates from arrowhead game studios 
154gb to 23gb lol what a difference that makes on pc. but yeah dauberman writing the script might seem weird at first, but hey if they can make it work, that could be really cool. we're gonna have to wait and see how lin brings this dystopian hyper-patriotic world to life 
He's like the ultimate action mastermind and this is gonna be epic!! I mean, can you imagine the adrenaline rush from playing as a soldier fighting for Super Earth on the big screen?! 
I know it might sound weird, but I trust him to bring some crazy cool twists to the story! Fingers crossed for a release date soon! 
and gary dauberman's script is gonna be a wild ride - even tho it sounds weird 2 have a horror writer penning a game about space soldiers 
but hey if anyone can make it work, its lin & dauberman... fingers crossed for a summer blockbuster in 2025! 
! Justin Lin is like a total rockstar in the directing world, and pairing him with Gary Dauberman could be genius 
.
... his twist on the script could actually be a game-changer 
. It's gonna be weird seeing him tackle this more lighthearted IP, but if anyone can make it work, it's Lin and Dauberman 
. i'm keeping an eye on this one, excited to see how lin's style influences the film. and who knows, maybe we'll get some sweet cameos from lin's other shows 
i'm lowkey worried bout the release date tho 
From what I read, Justin Lin is a big deal director and he's working with Gary Dauberman who's known for horror flicks. That does seem like an interesting combo for a co-op shooter. 
What do you guys think about a Helldivers movie? Would it be more fun than the games or would we be better off playing 'em instead? 
btw just heard about the Helldivers 2 update and u guys are gonna be so happy now with the smaller file size, who needs that much space in their gaming life 
. What do you guys think? Are you excited for this movie?
