Diablo up for cinematic adaptation

I always try to kick of the week with some really juicy stuff. This week is no exception. Dark Horizons reports that Legendary Pictures official site now lists a “Diablo movie” in their “under development” section, confirming recent rumors of plans for a cinematic adaptation of the 1996 role-playing video game “Diablo“.

Set in the fictional Kingdom of Khanduras, “Diablo” has the player take control of a lone hero as he or she battles to rid the town of Tristram of the titular Lord of Terror and his demon minions.

According to Blues News, the listing is a link that circles back to the main index, so there is not a shred of other information about the project at this time. So basically we’ll have to wait and see.  Question is: can it be done? Can a solid dungeon crawl turn into a entertaining movie? Time will tell.
