Although this seems like an odd choice, it could work for two reasons: Jones might be able to make a different kind of film from the usual boring blockbuster tie in, while having the sci-fi fan or technophile’s appreciation of the game; also Source Code was a film with a computer game structure (Gyllenhall’s character replaying a level over and over again trying to win). Jones is one of my favourite directors and I’d probably watch this film just to see what he actually does with it – whereas with another director I might not.

From what I’ve seen from Jones so far, I have been very impressed. I only worry that he might move away from doing interesting, original projects like Moon and Source Code in favour of big-budget schlock based on marketable brands like Warcraft.
