'Metro 2033' film rights snapped up by MGM

Metro 2033 could soon be adapted for cinema after the rights to the property were secured by MGM.

The studio acquired the license to Dmitry Glukhovsky's science fiction novel, which has spawned two video games by 4A Games.
















F Scott Frazier will write a screenplay for the proposed adaptation, while Chronicles of Narnia producer Mark Johnson will oversee the project's development, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

4A's Metro 2033 is a first-person shooter with survival-horror elements, released for PC and Xbox 360 in 2010. A sequel titled Metro: Last Light is in development for release early next year.

Metro: Last Light is not based on Glukhovsky's sequel book Metro 2034, but the author has been working with the developers as a creative advisor.

The Metro 2033 movie adaptation is yet to be given a potential release date.
