The Wrap
Lately it seems Oscar-winning filmmakers Alejandro González Iñárritu (“Birdman”) and Alfonso Cuarón (“Gravity”) — each with the aid of cinematographer Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki — have been in a leapfrog contest over the new cinema of total immersion into detailed physical spaces.

Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.
