Normally when we learn about the people responsible for writing movies based on video games, there’s a round of muted applause. If we’re lucky. More often than no there are groans.

That writer is Seth Lochhead, The Hollywood Reporter… reports, who takes over from Justin Marks’ early 2009 script. He co-wrote the excellent Hanna, and has a top-secret project in the works at Warner Bros with Michael Bay.
