Disney not making Turok movie
Variety film reporter Marc Graser has helped me out with some reporting and we've confirmed that Disney, which publisher the "Turok" game, is apparently not developing a "Turok" movie.
The film is apparently being developed by Classic Media, an IP management firm that controls the rights to "Turok," along with Casper the Friendly Ghost, the Longe Ranger, and other old cartoons and comic books. (I haven't been able to reach Classic Media to confirm their exact plans yet.)
The absence of major studio involvement is one more reason for fans to be really cautious when reading all those crazy blog posts (all of which are based entirely on this one) about how Adam Beach's off-hand comment is proof that a "Turok" movie is happening. Without major studio involvement, raising the money to make a full on live-action film is even more of a challenge. It's possible, of course, or it's possible they're thinking low budget direct-to-DVD. Classic Media did produce a direct-to-DVD "Turok" animated film that came out earlier this year (pictured left).
So, dear readers, this isn't exactly getting made in the way that "Prince of Persia" or even "Bioshock" are. Take all these reports with a huge grain of salt.

I always heard something from my neighbor that he sometimes goes to the internet bar to play the game which will use him some habbo credits，he usually can win a lot of habbo gold，then he let his friends all have some habbo coins，his friends thank him very much for introducing them the cheap habbo credits，they usually buy habbo gold together.

Holy wow do you sound grumpy. The reason for excitement is pretty obvious. Adam Beach is actually a GOOD casting decision for a game-based movie. Meanwhile Jake Gyllenhaal is an awful choice for a character that is Persia (he is not) and agile (he is not).
