"Cevat Yerli, co-founder, president and CEO of Crytek, was guest speaker at the Imagina 2008 3D Technology Conference for the second consecutive year. In their interview, Cevat talks about the future of the Crysis Franchise, the upcoming Far Cry movie, and CryEngine 2 in particular.
The CryEngine 2 Interview During this part of the interview, Cevat spoke briefly of the Crysis modding community, which he stated as being "quite active." In addition, he spoke of the advantages of being an independent developer. When asked if Crytek would consider becoming part of a larger publisher one day, Cevat stated that he doesn't really think about leaving his current independent state, although the game developer has been approached numerous times since releasing Far Cry and Crysis.
He also states that he is looking into presenting a cross-platform version of CryEngine 2 at the Game Developer's Conferrence.
FarCry Movie and planned Crysis Movie Based upon the interview, it seems that Uwe Boll will once again be taking the reins as director of the new Far Cry movie, which will likely be scheduled to hit theaters some time in 2009. Yerli stated that licensing the film rights to Boll was "the right business decision at the right time. Although we weren't involved with the film early in its development, I think the script has changed and improved dramatically since then - at least I hope it has, since I can't wait to see the movie." He has also announced the possibility of Crysis becoming theatricized as well. "A Crysis movie is definitely planned, and we are already in active talks regarding this", Cevat said."
