Deus Ex: Human Revolution Live-Action Short

 
Since we’re still waiting on a feature film, this short will tide us over.

Square Enix‘s critically-acclaimed third Deus Ex game, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, has finally gotten a short film while we all eagerly wait a film adaptation. Human Revolution has also been inspiration for a comic book that’s been published by DC Comics. Moe Charif, founder of Dcode Films, has brought the game to life in this new short (seen above). While it doesn’t follow the game exactly, the core elements are still there while the focus moves to Adam Jensen and his ex-girlfriend Megan Reed.

Based on the video game Deus Ex Human Revolution, the film dives into the world of Adam Jensen, a serif industries’ security consultant that gets augmented after an incident that almost took his life away. Although the film doesn’t follow the narrative of the game exactly, it remains true to the theme while focusing on the relationship between Adam Jensen, and his ex girlfriend Megan Reed, a scientist hand picked by Serif Industries to head Cybernetic Augmentations. Megan is taken by the Illuminati and is asked to assist them in turning on a mysterious device but she refuses to cooperate. Jensen has been looking for Megan since she was kidnapped and has finally pinpointed her location. Adam faces a complication that he did not account for; Yelena Federova, an Augmented assassin is at the facility where Megan is being held. The film also taps, even if briefly, into Adam’s mind and the struggle he must face on daily basis.
