Heroes star Masi Oka is the cutest thing ever (and I’m not saying that just because I have a hardcore case of nerd crush here). Honestly, if he told me he had dreamed up some movie idea about the real life of a firefly or something I’d likely sit there and hear him out. Thing is, Oka really did do something like that, and he came up with the idea while playing World of Warcraft. It doesn’t suck away all your brain cells after all!
Cinema Blend describes the plot of the film:
The Defenders will be about teens playing a massively multiplayer online video game in different parts of the world, hidden behind their avatars. Somehow, events force them away from their computers to come together for a real adventure.
Obviously a fantasy project as MMO fans rarely emerge from behind their computers, but a lovely one nonetheless. Transformers writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are working on the project, alongside Oka, who will act as executive producer. I hate to admit it, but I’ll likely go see it just to see how it is. Would you check it out?
