King of Kong Director Seth Gordon to Tackle War Games Remake

Seth Gordon -- who debuted with the arcade fanatic documentary The King of Kong and most recently directed Horrible Bosses -- is now slated to remake WarGames, the 1983 Matthew Broderick film about a video gamer who hacks into a military supercomputer and comes close to starting World War III. You can expect the gaming element of the original to feel far more sophisticated this time around, says Deadline. Ooh! I'm building an Ally Sheedy "Mii" as we speak. [Deadline]
