It appears that Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg will be writing and directing a new film about the Nintendo vs. Sega console wars from the 90s.
The movie, called "Console Wars," will be based on the new book of the same name. Nintendo and Sega had a highly publicized fight as the latter company was releasing its Genesis/Mega Drive to compete with Nintendo.
Goldberg and Rogen previously directed hits like Superbad and Knocked Up, so the film will certainly have comedic aspects to it.
Additionally, Scott Rudin will help with the development, after working on critical hits 'Moneyball' and 'The Social Network."
The book is set for release in May, so any film will likely be towards end of the year if not next year.
