The horror: Francis Ford Coppola's studio is turning Apocalypse Now into a video game

Here's the weirdest bit of gaming news I've seen in a while: Francis Ford Coppola's film studio American Zoetrope is making a video game. Weirder: It's a video game based on Coppola's classic 1979 film Apocalypse Now. "Forty years ago, I set out to make a personal art picture that could hopefully influence generations of viewers for years to come. Today, I'm joined by new daredevils, a team who want to make an interactive version of Apocalypse Now, where you are Captain Benjamin Willard amidst the harsh backdrop of the Vietnam War. I've been watching videogames grow into a meaningful way to tell stories, and I'm excited to explore the possibilities for Apocalypse Now for a new platform and a new generation."
