Seth Rogen is taking the old consoles we use to love and creating a 'Console Wars' film about the rivalry between Nintendo and Sega. The Nintendo-Sega movie is loosely based on the book 'Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle that Defined a Generation.'
The epic gaming movie will be a joint effort between Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Both will be writing and directing the film. The film is depicting the monumental Nintendo-Sega rivalry that took part in the 90s. The duo is the force behind comedic films such as Superbad, Pineapple Express and This Is The End. Blake J.Harris is the writer of the non-fiction book will be a producer on the film offering insight.
He conducted hundreds of interviews for the book and is the perfect person to help depict the film exactly how it should be relayed to fans.
