With your help 'Apocalypse Now' could become a video game

Apocalypse Now was a landmark achievement of cinema. Garnering near-universal praise since its 1979 release, director Francis Ford Coppola's Vietnam War epic has left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape, launching countless careers and impacting just about every form of entertainment since. Now, a veteran group of developers wants to put you in Captain Willard's (Martin Sheen) boots as he hunts Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) in the jungle and witnesses the horrors of war first-hand. Concrete details are scarce, but the Kickstarter pitch is as follows: It's a psychological horror game that will "blend a cinematic narrative with roleplaying game mechanics." What's more, you'll be able to make choices that diverge from the movie's narrative, said decisions will cascade and supposedly result in a story that's pretty unique for each player.
