Aaron and Adam Nee has been set to write and direct the live-action movie based on the iconic board game “Catan” at Netflix.
The Nee brothers penned the recent “Masters of the Universe” film and helmed the Bullock-Tatum action comedy “The Lost City”. They recently wrote a spy film for Netflix starring Kevin Hart and Henry Cavill.
In October last year came the news that Netflix had landed the exclusive global rights to the board game and were planning multiple projects spanning live-action and animated film, scripted TV series as well as unscripted projects and video games.
Originally released in Germany in 1995 as “The Settlers of Catan,” the game is set on a fictional island of varied landscapes where players must scramble for resources.
It has sold more than 45 million copies globally and is often cited as a gateway to modern board gaming.
Darren Kyman, Pete Fenlon, Guido Teuber and Benjamin Teuber will produce all of Netflix’s “Catan” projects under the deal alongside Roy Lee.
