Masi Oka is taking his love of video games to the big screen according to
The Hollywood Reporter. My favorite star of Heroes is creating a new movie for Dreamworks.
The story centers on a group of mostly teenagers from around the world who are involved in a multiplayer video game, 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.
Oka, who will exec produce, came up with idea while playing MMORPGs — massively multiplayer online role-playing games, in that world’s parlance.
“You can be whoever you want to be,” he said. “The question came to me: What if you had to live up to the person you created in the virtual world?”
Not only will there be a movie, but Dreamworks will also be creating a video game with the movie. Not bad for the little guy who started out working for George Lucas’ ILM!!!
