‘Console Wars’ comes to TV under ‘Kong: Skull Island’ director

Hollywood production company Legendary is developing a limited-series television event based on the book Console Wars by author Blake J. Harris, as Nerdist first reported. The book documents how Sega battled with Nintendo over the hearts and minds of gamers throughout the ’90s. The miniseries will now bring that story to television screens.

Point Grey Pictures, which produces Preacher for AMC, is working with Legendary on this project. Hollywood veterans Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and James Weaver — the founders of Point Grey — will stay on as executive producers after they acquired the film rights to Console Wars in February 2014. Other producers on the film include Annihilation producers Eli Bush and Scott Rudin.
