While developer Piranha Games is working on a revival of the Mechwarrior game franchise, it's looking like the action-sim game series could be getting attention from Hollywood. Our sister site Joystiq, working with unnamed sources, is reporting that a Mechwarrior feature film is in the works.

The movie rights to the franchise are currently owned by The Tornante Company, which is headed up by former Disney CEO Michael Eisner. According to Joystiq the movie version will have a screenplay from Michael Gordon. His previous credits include 300 and this year's G.I. Joe flick. It sounds like any Mechwarrior movie is still a long way from completion but with the financial success of the Transformers films perhaps Hollywood will be more interested in such a project.
