Derek Connolly, the writer whose work includes the Jurassic World franchise, has been tapped to write a live-action adaptation of the Sega video game, Eternal Champions, for Skydance.

First released in 1993, Eternal Champions was a fighting game whose premise is as follows:  “An omniscient being known as the Eternal Champion predicts that mankind will soon fade from existence due to the untimely and unjust deaths of key individuals throughout history who were destined for greatness. Seeking to restore balance to the world, the Eternal Champion gathers these souls from time moments before their deaths. The Eternal Champion only has enough power to restore life to one of these individuals, so he organizes and holds a fighting tournament between them, where the victor will be able to regain their life and change their fate while bringing balance to the universe, whilst the losers will be forced to die just as history recorded.”

Connolly also co-wrote Safety Not Guaranteed with Colin Trevorrow, working with the filmmaker again on Jurassic World, and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. He also earned credits on Legendary’s Monsterverse film Kong: Skull Island, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and Detective Pikachu. He also wrote the script for another upcoming video game adaptation, The Legend of Zelda, which has Wes Ball on board to direct, and is reportedly working on Paramount’s untitled Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover film that’s set to star Chris Hemsworth.
