Please let this be true!!! The Last Express is my all-time favorite computer game, and Verhoeven would be a fitting director- if, indeed, it is the game he is going to be adapting (he wouldn't give away the name in the interview). My own personal choice for director would have been De Palma, but Verhoeven is definitely fair game as well.

While I never played the game, it sounds like it could become a great film, if the rumor is true ofcourse. Verhoeven sounds like the right director to helm such a project. I started a topic about this rumor and a possible Dutch film for him (from Dutch sources) a bit further down this board: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000682/board/nest/161079357

I was going to say, "Take me," you said, "Go away"

Fingers crossed; it is an excellent game. Probably too much to hope that it might ultimately lead to the production of the sorely-needed video game sequel...

Well, I can always dream.
