Earlier this week it was announced on Deadline.com that 20th Century Fox has selected Games of Thrones writer Bryan Cogman – also a producer, story editer and writer for the insanely popular HBO drama – to pen the script for the planned ‘Magic the Gathering’ film, produced by Hasbro and 20th Century Fox.

Bryan Cogman

Fox acquired the rights to the ‘Magic the Gathering’ film last January, a trading card game released in 1993 by Wizards of the Coast – now owned by Hasbro. Since 1993, ‘Magic the Gathering’ has become one of the most successful games in the hobby industry to date.

Simon Kinberg, the producer attached to the project, is best known for X-Men: Days of Future Past  and Sherlock Holmes.
