One of the best video games to come out over the last several years is without question Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and its much talked about feature film adaptation has scored itself a writer. Read on for the latest details and body modifications!

THR reports that CBS Films has tapped Predators writer Michael Finch to work on Deus Ex, its adaptation of the acclaimed video game. Roy Lee and Adrian Askarieh are producing.

The movie is taking its cues from origin-oriented Deus Ex: Human Revolution and focuses on Adam Jensen, an ex-SWAT security specialist who undergoes mechanical augmentation in order to unravel a global conspiracy.

Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill previously worked on the script. Derrickson was initially attached to direct but is now working on Doctor Strange for Marvel.

John Middleton is exec producing the film. Deus Ex, a Square Enix game that was introduced in 2000, spawned a sequel and a prequel, racking up awards and millions in sales. A new game titled Deus Ex: Universe is up next.
