Variety reports that an EverQuest movie is in the works and that Sony has already hired “300″ scribe Michael Gordon to pen the live-action adaptation. They also report that former Marvel Studios executive Avi Arad will produce the picture for Columbia Pictures.
Apparently, the project has been in development for quite a few years, but Gordon is the first to take a stab at the material. It is too early to say how long it will take for the movie to come out, but if everything goes as well as planned, fanboys can look forward to dressing up as EverQuest characters sometime in 2009.
In the ongoing quest to enrich its ever-fading MMORPG, Sony Online Entertainment has announced The Serpent’s Spine, a digital download-only expansion pack for EverQuest. It will be available starting September for $30.
The expansion will introduce the first new player race in three years: the Drakkin. A new starting city - dubbed Crescent Reach - will be available, as well as new features such as auras, traps and destructible terrain, along with new spells, raids and abilities.
Detailed information on The Serpent’s Spine can be found after the jump.
