Developer Zoë Quinn sells the movie rights to her ‘Crash Override’ Gamergate memoir

A group of disgruntled reactionaries tried to strike her down, but they only ended up making her more powerful.

Pascal Pictures has purchased the movie rights to Depression Quest developer Zoë Quinn’s Crash Override memoir, as first reported by Deadline. The book details Quinn’s battle with the online harassment and the group that emerged from it, Gamergate. The book is due out in September 2016 from Simon & Schuster, and now the film should follow not long after that. Several studios allegedly bid on the project, and some of Hollywood’s top acting talent have expressed interest in the role. Deadline claims that Scarlett Johansson, Black Widow in The Avengers films, is actively trying to get the part.
