Paul Verhoeven adapting video game?

Filmmaker Paul Verhoeven is reportedly working on a new film based on a video game.

Speaking to MTV, the Robocop and Starship Troopers director revealed that he was adapting a video game, but he did not reveal the name of the game.

"I am working on a movie now that is... situated in 1914. Basically, Indiana Jones-ish you could say, but also Hitchcockian," Verhoeven said.

He added: "We are scripting it. It's an idea that exists already... from another medium, and so we are making it now into a film narrative."

When asked which medium the story came from, Verhoeven said," A game, a video game."

Slashfilm speculates that the game is The Last Express, from the creator of Prince of Persia.

The adventure game is set on the Orient Express in 1914.
