Force Unleashed: The Movie?

“It's not impossible. Never say never,” says Haden Blackman.

Speaking in an interview with the LA Times, project leader for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Haden Blackman, discussed the possibility of LucasArts' recent video game making its way onto the big screen.

"Oh, that would be incredible, and it's not impossible. Never say never. George [Lucas] has looked to tell new Star Wars stories through the games and with the entire Star Wars Expanded Universe,” said Blackman.

“And then he has also shown a willingness to let the characters come into the films. Look at Aayla Secura, a creation in the [Dark Horse] comic books who became part of the theatrical films."

Geoff Boucher of the LA Times goes on to speculate that Lucas could take a theatrical spin on the game in a similar direction to the recently released Clone Wars animated movie.
