God of War: the movie

Before I go on, let's get one thing clear: Uwe Boll has nothing to do with this movie.  Okay, that said,
Universal Studios has snagged the rights to make a movie based on the Greek-themed blood-soaked game God of War. 
As 1up reports, the two producers have very disparate track records: one has produced Twelve Monkeys, Three Kings, and the newest Batman; the other has done Barbershop 2.  But still, it's promising.

No director or star signed yet, but I agree with many of the 1up members on feedback: Vin Diesel could pull off Kratos
(he looks the part and he can act as an uncaring bastard), and I also want to know if the threesome minigame will be included in the movie.  Then again, I also would like to see them try to make a PG-13 movie out of this, so I'm conflicted as to which direction would amuse me more.  Check out 1up.com for more, as well as a very colorful (and reassuring) comment by the game's director, David Jaffe.
