TheMoonandWarcraftdirector would still like to take on the LucasArts classic
Director Duncan Jones has tackled video game adaptations before, and there’s still one he wants everyone to know he’s game for:Full Throttle.
Jones, the director ofMoonandWarcraftamong other films, has expressed his love forFull Throttlebefore on social media. At the start of 2021, Jonesposted abouta reimagining ofFull Throttlefor 2020 that Tim Schafer had shared a link to, andhow it encouraged him to write a fan scriptfor the game.
Well, it’s 2022 and almost a full year later, and Jones’ interest has not waned. Over this last weekend, Jones tweeted aboutFull Throttleagain (thanks for the spot,Eurogamer). “If you could all tell Disney Studios how much you’d love to let me makeFull Throttlefor Disney+, that would be adorable and I’d be very appreciative,” Jones wrote.

Disney has the LucasArts rights thanks to itsdeal to purchase LucasFilm Ltd., which came in at an estimated $4.05 billion. There have sincebeen some remastersof games likeFull Throttleand others, but that doesn’t exactly give hope quite yet for a streaming deal.
Among the stable of LucasArts classics likeDay of the TentacleandGrim Fandango,Full Throttleiscertainly no slouch. And of those games, it would certainly be an interesting one to see, and a neat way to build out what feels like an overlooked, or even underutilized, part of the massive Disney acquisition. We can dream, right?
Jones’Warcraftmoviereceived some mixed reception, though other movies he’s directed likeMoonhave garnered high praise. Maybe with Jones at the helm, aFull Throttleadaptation could happen. Considering howpopular video game adaptations have becomethese days, I’m not ruling any possibilities out just yet.
