Justin Lin, director behind some of the most iconic Fast & Furious installments and Star Trek: Beyond, is set to bring the highly anticipated video game adaptation of Helldivers to life on the big screen. Gary Dauberman, a seasoned writer known for his work on horror staples like It, It Chapter Two, Annabelle, and The Nun, has been tasked with penning the script.
Lin's involvement in the project is an ideal match for the fast-paced, action-packed world of Helldivers, which draws inspiration from sci-fi classics like Starship Troopers. The game's dystopian setting, where players take on the role of elite soldiers defending a hyper-patriotic society called Super Earth, offers a rich backdrop for Lin to showcase his signature blend of style and satire.
As a seasoned television producer with credits on shows like S.W.A.T., Scorpion, Magnum P.I., and Warrior, Lin has demonstrated his ability to balance action and drama. While he may not have directed as many films in recent years, he has shown an appetite for taking on new challenges, most notably adapting the Keanu Reeves comic BRZRKR for Netflix.
The question remains whether Dauberman's horror expertise will translate seamlessly to the over-the-top action of Helldivers. With a script that promises to deliver high-octane thrills and spills, fans of the game series are eagerly awaiting news on a release date for the film adaptation.

! Justin Lin bringing his directing magic to Helldivers is gonna be EPIC 
! The dude's got experience with high-octane action in S.W.A.T and Scorpion, so I trust he'll do justice to the game. Gary Dauberman on board is a great combo - horror fan, that guy knows how to craft suspenseful scenes 
... but will it translate to the game's over-the-top style? Only time will tell 
. Fingers crossed they nail the release date and get this movie out ASAP!
I'm intrigued by this announcement! Justin Lin's involvement is a no-brainer - he's always brought that signature adrenaline rush to his films. But let's get real, Gary Dauberman's style might not mesh with Helldivers' vibe. The game has a very distinct sci-fi flavor and tone, so will the horror writer's touch be enough to adapt it? 
I'm curious to see how Lin balances action and drama - he's got experience in this arena from his TV credits. 
This film's gonna need some serious pacing to keep up with the game's frenetic energy! 
dauberman's horror cred better translate well to all the crazy moments in the game, fingers crossed 
. But, Gary Dauberman's horror background might be a bit of a weird fit for Helldivers... I mean, It's great that they're going for a sci-fi classic vibe, but the game itself is all about over-the-top action and humor - can Dauberman tone down that horror intensity enough to make it work? 
Only time (and a sneak peek at that script) will tell if this one's gonna be a win or a miss 
. Gary Dauberman's writing credits are pretty solid too - his horror work is on point 
. Now, I'm curious to see how the tone of the film will balance out with the original game... but overall, I think this could be a really cool ride! 
. A film about elite soldiers fighting an alien invasion sounds like every other sci-fi flick out there. I mean, who hasn't seen this done before? And don't even get me started on the potential for cheesy one-liners and over-the-top action scenes 
. Justin Lin's involvement is a good start, but can Gary Dauberman really bring some depth to the script? Maybe it'll be a fun ride, but I'm not holding my breath
