Apocalypse Now is one of the greatest films ever made, and now it's going to be a video game. The game's creators -- including filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola -- are seeking $900,000 on Kickstarter to get development of the game moving. The plan is for a 2020 release.

"Today, I'm joined by new daredevils, a team who wants 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."
