There’s a movie from Duke Nukem in progress, apparently by the creators of the Cobra Kai series and with production entrusted to Legendary Entertainment, therefore a major project for the film adaptation of the famous shooter.
The news comes from Hollywood Reporter, which in the sector can be considered a particularly reliable source, and is also accompanied by various additional information. At the helm of the Duke Nukem project there would therefore be Legendary Entertainmenta company that recently also took care of Dune and that obtained the film rights in agreement with Gearbox.
The management of the film is in the hands of Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg in the role of producer, all responsible for the excellent Cobra Kai series on Netflix.

To collaborate with these also Jean Julien Baronnet of Marla Studios, a specialist in video game adaptations after having also worked on Assassin’s Creed.
Currently, the production would start work on the film script and is looking for an official writer for the film adaptation, just as there is no designated director, so the project is still in the preliminary phase. However, the names involved are high-profile, so we can expect great things from this reinterpretation of Duke Nukem on the big screen.
Recently, the original 2001 Duke Nukem Forever was leaked completely online.
