Avatar Picks Up Cold Fear Movie Option

Gamer reception to Cold Fear was largely chilly. Oh ho ho! Do you see what I did there?

Gamers may not have been interested in investigating a mysterious Russian frigate filled with unfriendly Russian soldiers and even less friendly parasitical alien creatures in Ubisoft’s Cold Fear – but Hollywood thinks they’ll want to watch someone else do it.

In an unusual move, Avatar Films and Sekretagent Prods. have picked up movie rights to Cold Fear – a game that neither sold particularly well nor received much critical praise.

The producers are currently looking for a director before they pitch to studios.
