Heroes Masi Oka Producing a MMORPG Movie “The Defenders”
Heroes Hiro, Set to Produce an MMORPG Film Inspired by WoW
Masi Oka who plays Hiro on the hit television series Heroes is getting set to produce his own movie.
Reports indicate that the Transformers writers Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci are in the process of creating a new family adventure movie called The Defenders which was inspired by an idea from Oka.
The script is being written by Gary White and D.J. Caruso director of the film Suburbia may be directing the project.
Rumor has it that Masi Oka came up with the idea for the film while playing World of Warcraft. It sounds as though his real life personality may not be that much different from his on screen persona as Hiro, with the exception of being able to bend space and time.
The Defenders will be about a group of teenagers playing a MMORPG who are forced together through real life events for an adventure that goes far beyond a mouse and keyboard.
As of now there is no confirmation that Masi Oka will be in the movie, but he is slated to be executive producer on the project.
