Fast & Furious director Justin Lin is making the Helldivers movie

We've known there was a film adaptation of Helldivers coming for a while , but we now have a director and writer. Justin Lin will helm the movie and Gary Dauberman is writing the script, according to The Hollywood Reporter . Justin Lin is a great choice here. He directed many of the more beloved Fast & Furious entries and helmed the criminally underrated Star Trek Beyond . Helldivers is kind of a mix of both. It has outer space stuff, but also stylish action that occasionally borders on satire. Lin hasn't made that many movies in recent years, but did sign on to adapt the Keanu Reeves comic BRZRKR for Netflix. However, he's been all over TV screens. Lin has become a prolific TV producer, with credits on shows like S.W.A.T. , Scorpion , Magnum P.I. and Warrior . As for the script, Dauberman penned both It and It Chapter Two . He also wrote Annabelle and both of its follow-ups, along with The Nun and a recent adaptation of Salem's Lot . He's mostly a horror guy, so we'll have to see how he does with over-the-top action. For the uninitiated, Helldivers is a co-op shooter franchise that's heavily inspired by the movie Starship Troopers . The games are set in a hyper-patriotic dystopia called Super Earth. Helldivers 2 dropped in 2024, but just came out for Xbox earlier this year. Sony has yet to announce a release date for the film adaptation, so it might be a while. As an aside, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios just dropped a nifty update for the PC build . It brings the file size down to 23GB from 154GB. That's a massive reduction of 131GB. We aren't sure what kind of compression wizardry went into that.
