The duo might also write the screenplay for the film, which Masi Oka and Chernin Entertainment are producing, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The video game, first released in 1987, centers on a robotic lab assistant created by a scientist named Dr Light.

Light is betrayed by a colleague who reprograms a line of robots in order to take over the world.

Joost and Schulman last directed the 2016 thriller "Nerve", featuring Emma Roberts and James Franco.
