One of the most successful games of Epic Games is Fortnite having millions of players engaged in the game and it has been a multi-awarded one in recent years. The developer, however, is looking for an entertainment expansion, and a movie is being considered, looking to diversify despite facing a legal battle with Apple and Google.

In a report from The Information, Epic Games is considering to have a Fortnite movie and is looking at the possibility of launching an entertainment division that will be centered on scripted video programming. This is aimed by the game developer to cope up with their diminished ability in expansion through mobile because of the ongoing legal battle that they have against Google and Apple.

The said division is expected to develop projects, one of which is the Fortnite movie wherein they are already planning to hire various executives from Lucasfilm. Former Lucasfilm Vice President of Physical Production Jason McGaitlin is now the President of Special Projects at Epic Games making connections from the people from his previous company accessible because surely, he got some friends there.

All the Star Wars films which were released under Disney were executively produced by McGaitlin and some of those they got from Lucasfilm are Chris Furia who is now the Vice President for Production Finance of Epic Games, and Lynn Bartsch, the current head of Business affairs of the game developer.

Other details about the project remains in the dark and considering that Fortnite could be a movie is really possible. After all, there are a lot of movies that are based on games. With the abundance of characters from Fortnite such as Fishstick, Jonesy, Peely, and others, it would not be hard to think of new characters as the game already provides more than a movie could have.
