Creator Charles Cecil says the emphasis is on 'what Broken sword is' rather than 'what it can be made to look like'.

Not that I'm trying to gatekeep this, but I'm not sure I like the idea.

I thought BS was an absolute masterpiece - a great story, decent acting, good pacing (with the exception of a couple of high profile puzzles), and it gave me an interest in the Knights Templar when I've never been interested in history. I'm not sure what a movie would bring to the party, especially when The da Vinci Code probably took the formula and did it well already.

That said... the making of a movie doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game so go wild I guess.
