After ten years, Hollywood is interested in adapting the card game Magic: The Gathering into a movie. 20th Century Fox is buying the adaptation rights along with Hasbro .
According to international sources, Simon Kinberg , the renowned producer and screenwriter of the excellent X-Men films, will be the producer. The idea is to create a potential fantasy franchise in the vein of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings.
Magic: The Gathering was created in 1993 by Richard Garfield for Wizards of the Coast and remains the most influential collectible card game on the market. The card game revolves around duels between wizards who use spells and characters represented on richly illustrated cards, divided into white, blue, red, green, and black, to defeat each other. With thousands of cards and deck-building options (as the game's decks are called), players have countless possibilities for strategy or play style.
