CBS Films announced today that Scott Derrickson (Sinister, The Exorcism of Emily Rose) will direct the feature adaptation of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, based on the Square Enix video game title.

Here's the official synopsis: "Set in the near future, when dramatic advances in science, specifically human augmentation, have triggered a technological renaissance, Deus Ex: Human Revolution follows Adam Jensen, an ex-SWAT security specialist who must embrace mechanical augments in order to unravel a global conspiracy."

"Deus Ex is a phenomenal cyberpunk game with soul and intelligence," Derrickson said in a statement. "By combining amazing action and tension with big, philosophical ideas, Deus Ex is smart, ballsy, and will make one hell of a movie. Cargill and I can't wait to bring it to the big screen."

In addition to helming the project, Derrickson will be penning the screenplay with his Sinister cohort C. Robert Cargill. Roy Lee and Adrian Askarieh will produce, with John P. Middleton serving as Executive Producer.
