WB taps Tarsem for something that will be ‘Unforgettable’

If this is true, then I’m chalking this up as the first video-game-to-film project that I’d actually be interested in seeing. I have no idea what the narrative details of the game are, on the surface it appears to be a Blade Runner type situation, but what I do know is that with Tarsem Singh in the director’s chair, the Warner Bros. Pictures project going by the title of The Unforgettable will see the visual artistry that the stated in the tons of his video, television commercial work.

Currently working out the details on his current project Unthinkable, the director has had some difficulty finding a suitor (stateside) for his ambitious and highly-touted art film The Fall which has been on the top of my must see list of films that have yet to find a distributor.  

To be produced by Basil Iwanyk, David Goyer and Jason Hall, the science fiction thriller is based on Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment video game “The Condemned: Criminal Origins”. Originally titled “Species X” and written by Kurt Sutter, this is about a police detective who realizes he might be from another world. In the course of a murder investigation, the protagonist cop has reason to question who he is as a man, until he realizes he's not a man. A tug-of-war emerges among a faction of good and evil aliens.
