Shots from the upcoming Wolfenstein video game for XBOX360.

It’s been a little bit slow in the coming, I quit playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein a little over 3 years ago, but the movie based on the popular Wolfenstein video game is well underway with Oscar winning writer Roger Avary penning the script.

Eurogamer.net had the opportunity to talk to ID Software, makers of the Wolfenstein franchise, CEO Todd Hollenshead recently who related the drawbacks of trying to write the script for a major motion picture during the writers guild strike.

Eurogamer.net: “With the writer’s strike it took so long to get underway and Roger Avary, the writer, had a commitment that was in line before working the Wolfenstein stuff, but I’ve recently been in contact with Roger and he’s actually working on the script right now,” Hollenshead told Eurogamer.

“I think that from a progress standpoint it’s probably gone a little bit slower than what we would have expected - you can’t control these strikes and so on.”
