Seth Gordon, director of the documentary King of Kong, has set his sights on a WarGames reboot.
It was announced over the weekend that the director would be helming the project, but now Gordon has spoken out about his vision. He's also let leak a few details about his preparation for the project. Gordon is out promoting his latest effort, Horrible Bosses.
While speaking with Hero Complex, Gordon had the following to say regarding the project:
"A lot of things have changed technologically and geopolitically since the original. It's ripe for an update. It's a more plausible chain of events now than it was back then. The source of an international political threat is no longer a nameless faceless country with a different political system. The world has changed so much that that kind of threat could come from a number of places."
Gordon also claims to be visiting a number of 'hacking conventions' in an effort to beef up his knowledge of the hacker scene. Gordon is obviously very aware of the world in which gamers live, but whether or not he'll be able to unite that understanding with the concept of large-scale computer hacking remains to be seen.
No speculated release date yet for the WarGames reboot.
