Sony Pictures and Scott Rudin (Moneyball, The Social Network) are developing a film adaptation of Blake Harris' upcoming book Console Wars for Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (Superbad, This Is the End) to write and direct.

BookTrade, which broke the news, describes Harris' book as "a riveting behind-the-scenes business thriller that chronicles how Sega, a small, scrappy gaming company led by an unlikely visionary, took on the juggernaut Nintendo and revolutionized the video game industry." It's set for release in the United States in May.

Harris will serve as co-executive producer of the feature while also co-directing a documentary on the same subject.
