Variety is reporting that DreamCatcher Interactive's Painkiller series—released on PC and Xbox—may be getting the Hollywood treatment with Guy Walks Into A Bar snapping up feature rights for the first-person shooter. The production company is responsible for both the Will Ferrel comedy Elf and the Eddie Murphy vehicle Starship Dave. DreamCatcher Interactive is expected to ship another Painkiller game "soon."
