Film Adaptation
In 2004, Uwe Boll bought the film rights to the game as a deal with Eidos, who promised him the rights to Hitman if he also bought the rights to Fear Effect. Eidos did not hold up their end of the deal, and as a result, Boll dropped the film. The rights were later picked up by Mindfire Entertainment, with Stanley Tong in negotiation to direct and frequent Uwe Boll collaborator Mark A. Altman handling the script. Although for a time it was listed as "in production" and having a 2008 release date on movie sites such as IMDb, there was almost no other concrete information regarding the film. Subsequently, the IMDb page has been taken down, and no further mention of a Fear Effect movie has been officially made anywhere since.

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or adaptation:
“To read a newspaper for the first time is like coming into a film that has been on for an hour. Newspapers are like serials. To understand them you have to take knowledge to them; the knowledge that serves best is the knowledge provided by the newspaper itself.”
—V.S. (Vidiadhar Surajprasad)
“In youth the human body drew me and was the object of my secret and natural dreams. But body after body has taken away from me that sensual phosphorescence which my youth delighted in. Within me is no disturbing interplay now, but only the steady currents of adaptation and of sympathy.”
—Haniel Long (1888–1956)
